There is a smorgasbord of present fodder out there that would make any Nintendo Switch player happy for the holidays, but amiibo remain my favorite of the lot when it comes to stocking fillers.

The little NFC-integrated collectibles are ideal gifts for gamers as they're small enough to fit in most stockings, and they're based on a huge range of iconic Nintendo characters, big and small. Is the Nintendo fan in your life not really into Street Fighter 6 but loves Kirby? That's fine, there's an amiibo for that. Did they just recently grab the new Switch 2 Edition of Tears of the Kingdom and have a particular love of the Zora Prince Sidon? There's an amiibo for that. (And may I say, they have excellent taste.)

Check out our retro gifts, the best Nintendo gifts, or the best PlayStation gifts if you're looking for even more perfect gaming stocking filler gifts for the holidays.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
