10 Gifts for Minecraft Lovers: A Creeper-Approved Gift Guide
If you are not sure if someone on your list is a Minecraft lover, there is a simple 3-point test you can use to analyze your conversations with them to determine their level of interest. Here you go…
1. Does this person talk about Steve like he’s a friend? – If the answer is yes, you might have a Minecraft lover.
2. Does this person know what a Creeper is and are they excited to blow them up? – If the answer is yes, you might have a Minecraft lover.
3. Does this person get excited about mining even though they have never been to an actual mine? – If the answer is yes, you might have a Minecraft lover.
While this test is not always foolproof (they may actually have a friend named Steve, for instance), it is a good indicator of their interest in the game.
Also, if they’ve ever sat talking to you about things that make absolutely no sense, but the words “Minecraft”, “creeper”, “skelly”, and “mining” all come up….chances are good you have a Minecraft fan.
And if you need a cheat sheet for all things Minecraft, be sure to check out this one that we made for parents. 😉 You’re welcome. Trust me it will make shopping for gifts for Minecraft lovers a lot easier!
So, what does one get a Minecraft lover as a gift? Check out these 10 Steve-Approved Gifts for Minecraft Lovers and get building…your shopping cart that is!
The Best Gifts for Minecraft Lovers: A Creeper-Approved Gift Guide
This article contains affiliate links to things that you might like.
1. Minecraft – XBOX 360
What better place to start than with the game as a gift! Minecraft can be played on your gaming computer, on your gaming system, and on your mobile device. The computer version has the most flexibility and options, but if that’s not an option, the gaming system version works well too. If you do decide to go with the computer version, make sure you have a good gaming computer or you may experience lag which will be frustrating for everyone.
2. LEGO Minecraft
Last year, the boys got the LEGO Minecraft Micro World and they loved it! In fact, Super G has his sitting on his desk and often fiddles with it to create different variations. The Village looks equally as exciting and with the addition of the adorable pig, villager, and zombie figures it’s sure to be a hit. The Nether and The End also look like great additions to the Minecraft LEGO collection!
3. Kid’s Minecraft Creeper Hoodie
I know this looks creepy, but for your Minecraft-loving kiddos, the Creeper Hoodie is high-fashion. It is in children’s sizes, so if you’re buying for a teen or an adult, try the Minecraft Creeper Hoodie in Men’s Sizes.
4. Minecraft Creeper Beanie
Keep your Minecraft-lover’s head warm this winter with the Minecraft Creeper Beanie. Watch the sizing though, because it’s more for adults than children, so if you’re buying for a child you may want to go with the smaller sizes.
5. Minecraft Creeper Scarf
My kids are not fond of scarves, but the Minecraft Creeper Scarf? They would wear it all day and night if they could! There’s just something appealing about a lime green Creeper face that makes even scarf wearing better for the Minecraft fanatic.
6. Minecraft Vinyl Wall Graphics
I’m not quite sure I can express how absolutely cool these vinyl graphics would be for the Minecraft fan on your gift list. The first one (here) would be so cool to put on the ceiling above your kiddo’s bed. But, I also really love this one that’s a block design because it makes the whole space look Minecraft-world-esque. They’re perfect for a bedroom wall or, in our case, the homeschool room.
7. Minecraft Diamond Pendant Necklace
Who said kids can’t have diamond necklaces?! This necklace is perfect for your Minecraft loving gift recipient! Stocking stuffer perhaps?? (Keep in mind that this is definitely not like an actual diamond. It’s a Minecraft-style diamond with absolutely zero real diamond material in it. So, in other words, definitely NOT for your wife who would much prefer the real thing, I’m sure.)
8. Minecraft Papercraft Set
Minecraft meets papercrafts with this 90-piece set! Think of it like paper dolls…only in Minecraft style. These are heavy-duty so your kids will still be able to play with them long after they’ve opened them. The durability alone makes them worth it. It does take some time and patience to put them together, so be prepared to help with assembly.
9. Minecraft Costume Masks
A Minecraft Steve, Enderman, and Creeper head mask/costume thingys? YES, PLEASE! The picture value alone is worth the cost of this three-pack. They are sturdy cardboard head masks but be sure to check the sizing just to make sure they fit everyone from a 5 year old to a 105 year old. Get them along with a Diamond Sword and Pickaxe Set and your family will be entertained for hours.
10. Minecraft iPhone Case
Turn their iPhones into a Minecraft world with this easy, snap-on case. And don’t forget to grab a set of Minecraft ear buds so they can listen to music while playing games!
There are also a lot of Minecraft plush toys and Minecraft books (some of them free Kindle downloads) that might be of interest to your Minecraft-lover. One of the best gifts you can give to someone who loves Minecraft though is to learn the lingo. Find out who the characters are, what the game is about, and discover why they enjoy it so much. Your time is priceless and the best gift of all.
Happy Mining!
