Hey All!
The Holidays are here and the time for crazy sales, frantic shopping and trying to find that perfect gift to give the girl you love comes with it! :P Finding that gift can be some what of a challenge, I know believe me been there and done that. So here is your Holiday Gift Guide to Your Gamer Girls Heart!
Those on a Budget!
We all know that things can get really tight around the holidays, but you still want to be able to get something that the one you love will really enjoy and appreciate. Gift Cards are the common fall back, but they lack that zing! that WOW factor! Well there are some awesome gifts for those who still want to put a smile on her face but are on a budget. There are always some awesome Indie games on XBox Live, WiiWare and Playstation Network. For XBox Live might I recommend Arkedo Series - 03 PIXEL! for 240points?? This old school, 2D, side scrolling platformer makes me smile! The blue and white color are a nice soothing feel so it is a nice game to play at the end of the day to wind down along with the little cat being oh so very cute! Now for PSN I would recommend the game Flower, well not exactly an Indie game it still is a really amazing game for the low price of $9.99! thatgamecompany fully took advantage of the motion sensor in the PS3's wireless remote and ran with it! Which after playing for the first time I fell head over heels in love with :D
Then of course we have the two biggest games of the year! First off we have Plants vs Zombies! This adorable and addicting game allows you to plant flowers (progressively better ones) to combat waves of cute zombies coming up the lawn to eat your brains! The colorful cuteness of this game is enough to make even the most seasoned FPS girl squee in joy! Not to mention the theme song! So freaking cute! This is available for download on Steam for your Mac or PC, on iTunes for your iPhone, iTouch or iPad, and even for download for those of you with XBoxLive! Second I have for you the Number 1 top paid app on iTunes in the whole world, Angry Birds! This game is so addicting and fun to play, and you really come to hate that stupid little grin that the pigs get on their face when one is left alive ..... -_- ..... I really hate those pigs. Check out the intro to the game in the animation below, and see the back story on why the birds hate the pigs so.
If you play World of Warcraft together you can always get her something in game! You could always go the route of getting her some sweet Bind on Use gear from the new expansion, most everyone is rushing to get to 85 and will be needing the gear once there. Though those will vary depending on what class and spec she runs. If you don't mind a little bit of mad grinding (or dropping some serious gold in the action house) might I recommend the Parrot Cage (Hyacinth Macaw)?? This is a companion that any girl would be happy to add to her collection and show off to the world! Now if you want something from the new expansion and you just so happen to be a miner then I would say pick up your ax empty your bags and head out to Twilight Highlands, Deepholm or Uldum and looking for Elementium and Rich Elementium Veins, you have a chance to find the Elementium Geode well mining these! This tiny little creature will be the sparkle in any girls eye for the holiday season! If you still are not happy with either of those and want something cheep but don't have to work to hard for it, you might want to try the Blizzard Store. They have two new companions up for sale the Moonkin Hatchling and Lil' Ragnaros both are just ten dollars flat and will put a nice smile on her face! And on a plus side if you want to do a good dead at the same time then go for the Moonkin Hatchling, Blizzard will donate 50% of each one purchased to the Make A Wish Foundation now through December 31st!

Tech Girls!
For my Techy girls out there, I have some nice Pink options! I recommend the Candy Pink PS3 Controller, for the Playstation girls out there. Any PS3 gamer should be proud to hold this controller in his or her hands, the epicness of it is to never be matched! :P There is of course the XBox360 version of this with the Baby Pink Controller.
There is of course the lovely SOYNTEC Netsound 500 Headphones and Microphone. It is totally adjustable to fit your head and the sound is stereo which makes those late nights playing World of Warcraft and hearing all those lovely insults in vent in all clarity. With an in cable volume control and a noise cancellation microphone, this comfortable design allows for hours of wear!

The Fluffy Cute Girl!
If your girl is one who likes fluffy and cuddly things such as plushies then here are some gift ideas for you! For our Classic gamer girls we have the wonderful and adorable Shine Sprite from SuperMarioSunshine! This plushy is a perfect replica of the Shine Sprites from the game and brings back fond memories for any gamer of a game much loved and played!
Now if your girl played the much loved game of Little Big Planet then she is going to just adore these! Her very own Sack Boy or Girl! Any fangirl of LPB will love having one, if not all of these to cuddle as she traverses through the world of dreams.
Now if you don't mind the gift being a little late Rovio has up on their site Angry Bird Plush Dolls! Well these would make a great gift....they are not going to be shipped until January 2011. You could always get her a card with a homemade gift certificate that says good for one plush and let her choose, that might make it a little better. Well these look great and all you might not want to wait tell after the first of the year to be able to present your gift and win her heart. In that case might I recommend something from the Blizzard Store again?? Why not go with something that she can show off both in real life and in game?? A great way to do that would be with the Wind Rider Cub or the Gryphon Hatchling! When you buy either of these you get a a nice real life plushy to snuggle and love and attached to his ear comes a card that contains and in game code which gives you the same companion to love in game also! Blizzard also offers a pink and white Murloc plushy for your girl to love and cuddle this one sadly does not come with an in game version though. :(
