If there’s one thing League of Legends players are sure to love this Christmas, it’s a gift inspired by their favorite online video game.
After more than a decade of continued development, League of Legends continues to be one of the world’s most popular games. Thanks to its massive roster of over 150 characters and constantly evolving gameplay, Riot Games’ MOBA continues to entertain for thousands of matches. Almost everyone knows a League of Legends player, and it can be tough thinking of a good Christmas present for them. However, we’ve already done the hard work so gifters can skip right to deciding what’s best for their giftee.
Here are three gifts sure to spread cheer to League of Legends players on Christmas morning.
League of Legends players would love a gift inspired by their favorite game, and these three ideas can get family members and friends started on the search.
Skins are a big deal in League of Legends, and they don’t come cheap. However, there’s no better way to show off commitment to a hero while also making them easier on the eyes. Many champions, especially older ones, have dozens of skins with different color palettes to pick from. Picking the right one can be tricky, but there are two ways to make sure they get something new.
The first method is the in-game gifting system. League of Legends players can purchase skins directly from the in-game store and send them to someone on their friend list. The store will indicate which skins they already have, preventing duplicates. The alternative is to get them a League of Legends gift card so they can pick out their perfect skin. Unlike with real clothes, it’s guaranteed to fit.
League of Legends developer Riot Games is acutely aware of just how popular its game is. The company has a massive official merchandise store full of great gifts for League fans. The store is divided by game, so it’s easy to narrow the options to just LoL. However, if they enjoy the hit show Arcane or like relaxing with Teamfight Tactics, there are options for those too.
Standout picks from the official merch store include a souvenir Tibbers plush from Worlds 2024, the game’s equivalent to the Super Bowl. There are also plushies for cute heroes like Teemo and Ziggs. For smaller budgets, the company also sells themed keychains and mousepads for relatively cheap. For bonus points, try to sneakily figure out their favorite champion and get something related to them.
In addition to Riot’s official merchandise, there are tons of boutique creators making merchandise. Crocheted plushies of the game’s iconic side characters are a great way to decorate a desk. Handcrafted keycaps are a great addition to any gaming station. There are plenty of wooden keychains, snazzy mugs, and bootleg esports gear to pick from.
If gifters still can’t find what they’re looking for, there’s always the option of heading to Redbubble or Displate and picking up something more specific from either site.
