The holidays are finally upon us. While many of your friends and loved ones celebrate #Kwanzaa, #Hanukkah or #Christmas at this time of year, a gift is never a bad idea. And if you want to show some love to that nerd you know, a #videogame is alway the easy option. But what about going down a truly unique route? Here's a few ideas, most of which can be found at shops, like your friendly neighborhood GameStop.

Monopoly: The Legend Of Zelda Collector's Edition

While this sounds like a rather odd coupling, there's always fun to be had when a game of Monopoly goes down, and the idea of diving into #Hyrule via this classic medium sure sounds like a blast! This gift will run you from $20–$50, depending on the shopping outlet.

If you want to get it before this holiday weekend, order it through Amazon.

Got that one friend that just can't get enough of Star Wars since Rogue One hit theaters? Then this is the perfect time to wander on over to ThinkGeek.com and pick up these amazingly detailed coasters for $24.99 a set. Can you imagine how happy your nerd chum will be when they get to see the Rebels are now protecting their tables from the Empire's moist rings?

Doom Plushy Collection From Gaming Heads

If your gamer bud still can't get enough of the 2016 smash hit Doom, there's always that small gift that will shock and awe them. This trio of collectible plushies from GamingHeads.com will do just that. This holiday season they can revel in the Cacodemon, Space Marine and Pain Elemental combo, who'll make any collectibles shelf all the more cooler.

Want to really wow your World of Warcraft: Legion fan friend this holiday season? Blizzard Entertainment has their number, thanks to this fancy USB charger for $40.

They can charge up all manner of gadgets without a hassle and do it in style. Or, y'know, just leave it on their workplace desk as a thing of beauty to be admired. There's also a StarCraft variant, as seen above.

Exploring barren wastelands in the midst of winter can't be much of a good time. With radioactive snow and harsh winds blowing, it'd sure be difficult to stay warm while exploring. But Bethesda has you covered just right.

In order to help your Vault dweller survive the cold-weather wilds, Bethesda is pitching in over on its official Bethedsa Store, with the very reasonable sum of $30 being all you need to prep them for their adventures in Fallout 4.

Final Fantasy XV Silver Pendant Ring Of The Lucii From The Square Store

If you have that one friend who is a diehard Final Fantasy XV fan, then they can go all out this holiday season courtesy of Square Enix — that is, if you're prepared to burn a hole in your wallet. So what's the cost of the replica Silver Pendant Ring of the Lucii that Noctis wore? $250 without shipping.

There's also a Lunafreya one you can snag for a marginally more digestible $199.99. However, these are some real-deal replicas that Square Enix has made, and not some cheap remakes from a third-party vendor. Might want to grab them fast, because supplies are limited.

Pokémon 20th 9Fifty Baseball Cap By New Era

We all know that one person who's been hooked on Pokémon for much of their life. They're probably even still a fan of Pokémon Go, and rather pleased that the game has released its holiday update. So to help them with their training, let's keep the sun from their eyes with this official Pokémon 20th Anniversary Hat. Or, y'know, just let them look awesome while they play Pokémon Sun and Moon. The cost for a hat? $34.99. Not too shabby.
