Some of the best gifts aren't useful at all. They're fun, and they get picked up again and again. That's the idea behind a good arcade or party game present: it gets people off their phones and laughing.
Here's a guide to eight games and gadgets from our range, from a £7 stocking filler to a £50 Minecraft pinball table. We've grouped them by who they suit, and flagged a few things worth checking before you order.
The short answer: For retro fans, pick the Pac-Man pinball (£15) or claw crane (£40). For Minecraft fans, the Overworld pinball (£50). For parties, the Butt Head Game (£10). For stocking fillers, the voice changer (£7) or bath light (£8). Message us on WhatsApp if you'd like help choosing.

Gifts for Retro and Minecraft Fans
Pac-Man Arcade Claw Crane Core Series (£40)
A compact claw crane with the Pac-Man theme, where the player controls the claw and tries to grab a power pellet before time runs out. The listing says it carries an official Pac-Man licence. It's a skill game that suits a desk, a bedroom or a gaming corner. See the Pac-Man Arcade Claw Crane.
Exclusive Pac-Man Arcade Pinball, Mini Series (£15)
A mini pinball game with Pac-Man graphics, interactive controls, iconic music and a lightbox. At £15 it's the easiest way to give a nostalgic gift. Take a look at the Pac-Man Arcade Pinball.
Minecraft Pinball – Overworld (£50)
A compact tabletop pinball game with officially licensed Minecraft Overworld graphics. It rewards timing and reactions, and it sets up on a desk or table. It's the priciest gift here, so it suits a real fan or a bigger family present. Here's the Minecraft Pinball Overworld listing.
Gifts for Parties and Family Fun
Butt Head Game (£10)
The idea is simple and silly: players wear the included hat and try to catch balls with their head. It's quick to explain, which makes it a good choice for a party, a family gathering or a Christmas afternoon. Find it on the Butt Head Game page.
Junior Boxing Pad (£25)
The smaller version of our boxing pad, with LED lights that react to each punch, wireless music connection, cushioned gloves and easy wall mounting. It's aimed at children and families who want active play. Check the listing for details, and supervise younger children. See the Junior Boxing Pad.
Stocking Fillers and Music Gadgets
Digital Drum Sticks (£13)
Hit a suitable surface and the sticks produce drum-style sounds, with light-up tips. It's a fun gift for beginners and music fans, though it won't replace a real kit. Take a look at the Digital Drum Sticks.
Mighty Mini Voice Changer (£7)
A compact novelty gadget with 4 voice effects and a battery included. It's cheap, quick to understand and great for party bags or stockings. Here's the Mighty Mini Voice Changer.
Disco Colour Changing Bath Light (£8)
A floating, colour-changing light designed for bath time, according to the packaging. A small, cheerful present. See the Disco Colour Changing Bath Light.
