Mother’s Day 2025 gift guide: Best gaming gifts for moms

Mother's Day 2025 draws near, and if you know a mom who games, it might be better to go beyond just the traditional flowers and brunch. There are a lot of gifts that could speak directly to her interests. Here are some of the best gaming gift ideas to celebrate Mother's Day 2025.

A fantastic gaming gift idea for moms who love the Pokémon franchise is the Thoughtful Pikachu Plush from the official Pokémon Center store. This adorable plushie has Pikachu holding a bouquet of red flowers, and moms who are familiar with Shaymin would appreciate that these are Gracidea flowers. Shaymin wears a Gracidea as decoration, so this gift is two references in one!

If the mother in your life loves a good story and a challenge, then the Split Fiction video game is a great choice for Mother’s Day 2025. From the creators of It Takes Two, this co-op adventure throws you both into a fast-paced ride. The gameplay encourages you to work together and laugh through the chaos!

The Scuf Instinct Pro has been praised by several content creators as a great controller. A video by Crooked Mustache Gaming, for example, noted its back paddles, three built-in profiles, and magnetic faceplate customization. His review also went into how simple it is to remap buttons. Another standout feature of the Scuf Instinct Pro is its instant-click triggers, which have been particularly appreciated by both Crooked Mustache Gaming and Dang Bubba.

For the moms who are always on the go, the Peach Collection Hip Bag is the perfect gift. It's pink, stylish, and has Princess Peach's iconic crown design. According to the official Nintendo website, if you turn this bag around, you can even see Princess Peach dashing.

As for moms who are primarily PC gamers, the Wooting 60HE+ is a great keyboard to consider gifting this Mother's Day. According to Consumer Tech Review, this is one of the best gaming keyboards of 2025.

It has smooth Lekker L60 switches, a tray-mounted design for good sound dampening and comfort, plus software that's intuitive and offers a slew of customization options. Consumer Tech Review is not alone in this opinion, either. This is because the Wooting 60HE+ is the most-used gaming keyboard by professional players overall.

You can make mom's favorite gaming space a bit more playful with some gamer throw pillow cases. These covers are a good combination of comfort and personality regardless if she's enjoying a cozy game like Stardew Valley or leading the charge as a tank in an action-packed title like Overwatch 2. These gamer throw pillows also make a fine addition to spaces like the family living room.

If your mom enjoys gaming on the Nintendo Switch, then why not bring some color to her device with Purple and Pastel Green Joy-Cons? This beautiful set includes two wrist straps so she can play her games comfortably either solo or with good company.

That's it for our best gamer mom gifts. Hopefully, one of these sparked your interest or inspired another fun Mother's Day gift idea.
