‘Tis the Season to Decorate, Gamer Style

December has finally arrived. That means people everywhere are making the long trek to their cobweb filled basement to pull out the dust covered boxes of shiny bright colored balls and other horrifically tacky holiday decorations. Fret not my gamer friends for I am here to save you from the perils of the traditional holiday decor. Put away the icicles made from beads. Don’t worry about stringing popcorn on a ribbon to hang across the mantel. Forgo the pine wreath covered in fake snow. This year we are going to decorate gamer style.

This resourceful Halo fanatic use his Legendary helmet to adorn the top of his tree. While I give him an A for effort (especially with the red and blue garlands draped along the tree), there is still room for upping the gaming element. So off we go, to find ornaments and holiday decorations that reflect our passion for this crazy gaming world we live in.

Mr Saturn Charm

Purchase here : Obesolete’s Shop
Price : $5
Note : This friendly alien from Super Nintendo’s EarthBound game is actually a cell phone charm and has a black phone strap already attached. If you can hang it from a phone, you can hang it on a tree. There are only four left so go snag one while you can.

Halo 3 Master Chief Personalized Christmas Ornament

Player 1 Keepsake Ornament

Purchase here : Hallmark
Price : $15
Note : When you press a button, it makes video game sounds! Now where is the Player Two ornament?

Katamari Damacy Cousin Velvet Pixel

Purchase here : Thepinksamurai’s Shop
Price : $5
Note : The seller says “If you want to use it as a hanging decoration, I will fasten a metal loop on top and include a simple ribbon”. How easy is that? If this one sells out, she offers two other designs as well.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT KHORIUM ORE-NAMENTS

Female Video Game Player

Male Video Game Player
