Help with Gift Giving Ideas!

[AC Help]

I need to buy gifts for someone on my Christmas list. She is an adult female who plays Animal Crossing on Nintendo Switch. I know nothing about the game and hoping someone can provide some advice on what an Animal Crossing lover would like. I found some ideas but want to know if they are gifts someone would like. I’ll attach some photos of what I’ve found.

It would probably depend on whether she likes practical gifts more, as some people see merchandise as kind of useless junky stuff ... The candle made me smile though, so did the coffee mugs !! And they're things I would probably use myself ... Depending on your budget, there are some nice AC-themed Switch carry cases ... And I have a couple of these game card cases:

My personal favorites are the potted plant holder, the bug poster and the sqeakoid plushie! I find those really cool and enjoyable to have around / look at; as well as the gift set of those three mini cups(?)!

My partner bought me that “***** better have my bells” mug in black and I thought it was thoughtful and adorable. I’d go with the mug or the gyroid planter!

I think the gyroid plant holders are adorable! I also really like the Redd hoodie, and the candle is amusing. I wonder what it smells like?

Good luck finding a gift for your friend! It's so lovely that you've been thoughtful enough to come here for help!

All those gifts looks lovely but if she likes plants I think the gyroid plant-holder is super cool

Those gyroid plant holders are super cute. I know OP hasn’t checked this thread in a bit, but I think those plushies are nice. Depending on who you’re buying for, though, some of those items might seem a bit bulky. Some people just aren’t a fan of merchandise. For example, I used to be a really big fan of Pokémon but I didn’t desire any merchandise. Do you know the type of person she is? Would she have a use for those plant holders? I’d recommend those if she likes potted plants. If all else fails, I’d get the mug. It’s clever, and everyone can use a mug. Even if you aren’t a fan of coffee, there’s always some liquid you can drink from a mug. You can even display it. It has more than one use.

Personally, I would love to get that gyroid planter too. I love plants, but the plants hate me. It'll last longer.

The problem with clothes are sizes. I get anxiety thinking if it will fit the person or not. Mugs are perfect for those who love hot drinks. The problem with candles is that it doesn't last. Also potential risk of fire.

the gyroid plant pots are so cute! I think anyone that likes plant will love those. Also the bug poster is really cute, along with the mug! I love these gifts, would mind some for myself

Well i would say that it highly depends on the personality of the person, some are very shy at playing game as adults and would not want others to know so to “visually” gifts so to say although she might like them she might never use and then you need to think if she prefers merchandise as something to commemorate and collect or if she prefers more practical and everyday useful items. Difficult to advice without knowing the person

I second the hoodie and the plantpot, those are both so cute! Subtle enough to use in public if you're a bit shy about liking games too I think

@NicksFixed where did you get that game card case? I've been looking around, but I've never seen anything like that and it's really cool!

 

[rubyrubert]

I like the planters. This is so sweet! Is she a merch person though, or does she already have a bunch of themed stuff, like other people are saying?

 

[amemome]

Those planters are so adorable and the insect poster is so cool! I think it's the thought that counts and no matter which gift you get, your friend will appreciate that you thought of them and their interests.
