2. A Nintendo Switch Lite for the person who likes to game on the go. This compact device will give them all the portable playing pleasure they want (try saying that three times fast!).

"With the Switch Lite, I can play games for hours without getting bored, and it can easily fit into my jacket pocket. I actually already owned the original Switch console and really loved it, but found it was a little too bulky and heavy to carry with me every day (plus my hands would get tired holding onto it)."—Sarah Aspler

Get it from Amazon Canada for $259.96+. Available in four colours.
3. A copy of Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the Nintendo Switch that'll let them indulge in the nostalgia of their favourite childhood games. This 3-in-1 will definitely bring back some memories.
“This game is the blast form the past I’ve been looking for. I used to play Super Mario 64 on my Nintendo 64 for days at a time and I never thought I’d play it again! Luckily for me and every other ‘90s kid, you can now play it on your Nintendo Switch. It comes with three games, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. This hit me straight in the nostalgic feels and has been a great distraction from my every day.”—Sarah Aspler
