Welcome back to our annual Christmas gift guide! In part 1, we kicked things off with a mix of luxury collectibles, art-toy hype and affordable family fun. Today, we’re continuing the journey with another set of hand-picked recommendations designed for gamers, gadget lovers and tech enthusiasts of all kinds.

As always, this guide spans multiple budgets — from clever little stocking fillers to premium hardware and collector pieces. Everything is curated with 2025’s newest releases in mind, making sure you’re gifting something fresh and exciting this holiday season.

Let’s dive into today’s three recommendations!


⭐ 1. Collectors Pick // Analogue 3D (Pre-Orders Are Back!)

For retro gamers and tech purists, few things come close to the hype of the Analogue 3D — a premium, FPGA-powered reinterpretation of the Nintendo 64. After months of silence, pre-orders recently returned, causing a second wave of excitement among collectors.

The Analogue 3D is designed to run original N64 cartridges with near-perfect accuracy, stunning 4K output, zero emulation lag and beautifully engineered hardware. It’s the ultimate “modern retro” machine, built for people who want the authentic feel of real hardware but with today’s display standards and connectivity.

With demand always massively outstripping supply, this is the collector’s gift of 2025 — one that will make any retro-gaming fan lose their mind on Christmas morning.

  • Released: Limited batches (pre-orders currently open again)
  • Price: Around ~SEK 3,000–4,000 / $269 / €269
  • For: Retro enthusiasts, tech collectors, Analogue fans

A dream machine for anyone who grew up with the N64.

💎 Mid Pick // HexGaming PHANTOM Controller (PS5)

If you want to level up someone’s PlayStation experience, the HexGaming PHANTOM is one of the best premium PS5 controllers on the market. Built from an original DualSense base, Hex modifies it with esports-grade upgrades: remappable rear paddles, interchangeable thumbsticks, hair triggers and a grippier shell that suits long gaming sessions.

It’s ideal for competitive shooters, action games or anyone who wants a controller that feels tailor-made for their playstyle. The build quality is excellent, the customisation is deep, and unlike many “pro” gamepads, it keeps full PS5 compatibility — including adaptive triggers (unless you choose the hair-trigger option) and haptics.

  • Released: 2025 current model
  • Price: Typically ~SEK 2 300 / $229
  • For: PS5 players, competitive gamers, customisation fans

A fantastic mid-tier gift that gives any PlayStation gamer a performance edge.

💡 Budget Pick // abxylute M4 Snap-On Mobile Controller

We usually avoid unreleased gear in these guides — but the abxylute M4 is too interesting to ignore. Currently a Kickstarter project, this upcoming snap-on mobile controller aims to deliver a Switch-style gaming experience on your smartphone, complete with proper tactile buttons, analog sticks and a universal fit that works without needing to remove your phone case.

What makes the M4 stand out is its focus on ergonomics and instant compatibility. It’s designed for cloud gaming (Game Pass, GeForce NOW, PS Remote Play), mobile titles, and even emulation. Early impressions from prototypes look extremely promising, and if the team delivers, this could easily become one of 2025’s most popular mobile gaming accessories.

  • Status: Kickstarter project (upcoming 2025/26 release)
  • Price: Estimated SEK 400–600 / $30–50 / €30–50
  • For: Mobile gamers, cloud-gaming fans, commuters, budget-conscious players

A fun, inexpensive “future gift” that could be huge when it officially launches.

That wraps up Part 2 — a mix of future-tech potential, performance upgrades and ultra-premium retro hardware.
