Gift giving is my love language, especially when it comes to finding the perfect stocking filler presents for the holidays. Each year, I like to make sure stocking fillers are full of stuff people actually want, and the best Cyber Monday gaming deals allow me to do just that, without breaking the bank.
As a rule of thumb, the best stocking filler in my eyes is a gift that sits under the $30 price mark but are still something the person would actually want. Less tangerines and chocolate coins, and more video-games and other gaming goodies. To help you grab the best gaming stocking filler gifts, I've gathered 10 of my favorite ideas down below that are $30 and less, with some exceptions. Just make sure your stocking is large enough to fit all these, and you'll see some big, nerdy smiles come Christmas morning.

CRKD Atom keychain controller | $19.99 at AmazonThe CRKD Atom controllers aren't currently apart of this year's Cyber Monday deals so this is a cheeky addition to this list, but these unique and tiny pads make for a perfect stocking gift even at full price. These adorable Bluetooth controllers are just $19.99 each and are compatible with everything from the Switch 2, Steam Deck and gaming PCs. They come in a variety of styles, including a "CRKD Grey" which pays homage to the iconic SNES pad, and would make any retro gaming dan light up over the holidays.

This wired pair of cups is officially designed with the PS5 in mind, and is an ideal gift for anyone who wants a no-nonsense setup with an impressive sound quality. Its microphone isn't the best, so I'd pop this in the stocking of those who prefer single-player PS5 games this holiday.

Monster Hunter WIlds (PS5) | $69.99 $30 at AmazonSave $39.99 - I know this Monster Hunter Wilds copy on PS5 makes a good stocking filler as I've bought it for my fiance's own stocking this year. (I so hope he's not reading this.) If you know someone else who adored Monster Hunter World but has yet to dive into its sequel, now's the time that it's just $30, a saving of almost $40. Plus, in my experience, PS5 games fit perfectly in a reasonably sized stocking.

Cableguys Sonic - Shadow The Hedgehog Original Controller Holder | $37.25 $29.99 at AmazonSave $7.25 - This isn't technically a game, but instead a game controller holder that any Sonic the Hedgehog fan will love. Just about every pad fits in his open arms, from an Xbox wireless controller to the PS5 DualSense, and he's over $7 off right now. If you know any die-hard Shadow fans, they'll get a kick out of finding this in their stocking, trust me.

Samsung 256GB microSD Express Card | $59.99 $39.99 at AmazonSave $20 - I normally prefer stocking fillers that are a little cheaper than $39.99, but this Switch 2 SD card deal is too good not to bring it to your attention. Since launch, this card has been sitting at its full $59.99 price, but Nintendo have shaved $20 off, taking it down to its lowest ever price so far. If you know someone who just grabbed a Switch 2, nothing will beat the gift of extra storage.

Rosalie NewcombeSocial Links NavigationHardware EditorEver 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.
