I’ve been so slow on the upkeep and these were meant to be Valentine’s Day gift guides, but guess what– as the Mr. constantly points out– you love your mate more than just on Valentine’s Day so why wouldn’t you want to gift them things even if it wasn’t the commercial day of love. So, I’ve sat through countless Etsy pages searching for affordable presents… here are top gift suggestions for gamers. You’ll excuse me as most items are targeted to women– but I did find some men’s stuff… hit the jump to check it out…

I just spotted a post at LevelSelect which reminded me to post about the upcoming video game shirts by UNIQLO. The Pimp had informed me a while back that UNIQLO was going to be releasing an entire line of video game inspired t-shirts. Well, the first batch of t-shirts are going to be released next week, March 16th. Above, you’ll find an image of the Resident Evil shirt that’s going to released through this line, just in time for RE5’s release. I’m not very impressed with it, but I had to post it because my Mr. is a huge RE fan. Although, he himself doesn’t think the design is very creative. I am, however, digging the Pacman shirt to the right– you can’t really go wrong with something as simple as Pacman or the ghosts right?

If you want to know more about what video game shirts are going to be released along with the release dates, you can check out Kotaku’s site for details. They posted more info today. I will state that I want to see the Little Big Planet shirts, I want now!! If you read after the jump, you’ll see the cool ties someone at Level Select found. =)

My Mr. who’s a long time Resident Evil fan has shown me an upcoming release for Resident Evil paraphernalia. It only makes sense that they’re finally coming out with a RE Umbrella Corp. umbrella. I love it, though, I wish the edges were trimmed in black, it’ll definitely do. I don’t think he’s buying it, because he loses everything. But hopefully I will, I get overprotective about ALL my stuff. Hope it’s good quality, for approx. $30 it better be. You can pre-order it over at [gkworld]
