Buying a gift for someone’s birthday or during the holidays can be quite stressful. It can be difficult to buy the perfect gift unless you have a wish list of what they want.
If the person you are shopping for plays video games and you know which gaming system they use, this information might allow you to choose the perfect gift for them.
You have various gift options if you are shopping for someone with an Xbox One. For your convenience, we have put together a list of our top gift ideas for Xbox One owners, along with information and links to each picture so that you can find the perfect gift.
Here is Our Countdown of the Top 5 Gifts for Xbox One Owners:
Games
The fourth item on our countdown is apparent. Video gamers are always on the lookout for the next great game they want to purchase, but knowing which game to buy might be difficult unless they give you a list to work off of, which is why we didn’t put this idea at the top of our list.
In addition to deciding what game you want to buy, you should also determine if you want a physical or digital copy. If you purchase a physical copy, A disc that you buy must be inserted into your Xbox One console to play the game. When purchasing a digital replica of a game, you will receive a code that allows you to download a digital copy to your console. Physical and digital copies of video games enable players to experience the game the same way, but each has its advantages and disadvantages. In situations when there isn’t a clear preference, you might be interested in reading our article titled, Physical Video Game Copies vs. Digital Copies – Which is Better?

Xbox Gift Cards can purchase and download new Xbox games, apps, movies, TV shows, devices, and more. Additionally, there are no fees or expiration dates to worry about.

Xbox Live Gold Membership
Xbox Live Gold Membership is the number one item on our countdown because it is probably the one thing that most Xbox owners cannot live without.
Several benefits come with the Xbox Live Gold Membership. Multiplayer games online with friends are its primary benefit. You don’t have to play with your friends. Access to free games is another benefit of the Xbox Live Gold Membership. In addition to exclusive deals, Xbox Live Gold members get 50-75% discounts on games.
While the free games and discounts in the Xbox Store are lovely, let’s be clear that the main reason people buy an Xbox Live Gold Membership is to play online. In addition, some games are only playable online and cannot be played with an Xbox Live Gold subscription. You will also need an Xbox Live Gold Membership if you want to take advantage of the multiplayer features of some games (explicitly playing with friends online).
