Notes

What should you do If everything on your Holiday Wish List is Digital?

The following scenario will be played out thousands of times during the holiday season. If you're purchasing lots of gifts for friends and family, it'll likely affect your personal life.



You: What do you want for the holiday season?



They: The brand new Akali skin from League of Legends!



You: I'm able to give you Riot Points but I can't wrap them. Do you have any other questions?



They: Fortnite's Staccato Shotto!



You: Same issue.



Them: How about Luigi's Mansion 3? You can download it here for my Switch.



You: Ugh.



With the rise of living online, digital-first stores, a lot of gamers' wish lists contain intangible items like cosmetic upgrades and new weapons, as well as extra characters, and brand new games. Gift cards make it simple to hand out in-game currency for most major titles, and download codes mean you don't even have put on pants to choose the perfect present. However white elephant gift exchanges are rather boring when everyone is passing around plain envelopes. It's not satisfying to give someone an electronic gift even in this day and age.



It's possible to gift your friends and family all the in-game goodies they're looking for and also give them something to open, all without buying extra gifts. It's craft time baby.



These crafts are affordable and effective , and can be made with materials you already have in your home. Each project is fairly simple however, if you become frustrated, remember that's part of the process. A long time spent pondering the color of your home-made Fortnite chug jug is really an hour of thinking about the person who is receiving the gift and that's why you fill these items with love. This, and the download codes.



League of Legends Riot Points Poro plushie



Materials: Scissors and a hot glue gun.



Notes: While there are a few Poro crafting guides available online the most effective and easy one we've found is from eLESGA, an ex-Canadian eSports group. It's right here. As with all of these projects, you are free to play around! To speed up the process you can take the mustache and feet out of your Poro and make use of brown craft foam instead of modeling clay for the horns.
