Quest 2 VR headset christmas holiday gift guide

 

The holiday season is among us once more. What’s on your current gift ideas list? Socks, ties, pajamas? What about the VR enthusiast in your life?

What you won’t find on this list are all the well known and loved VR classics, Beat Saber, Population One, Supernatural etc (however, if your gift recipient does not have these games, they should definitely have them!).

What you will find are games in the same genre as these beloved classics that they (or you, we won’t judge) might enjoy as an alternative. Figuring out how to gift Quest games can be a little tricky to figure out so near the end I’ll show you how you can easily do that, along with some great accessories for those of you who prefer to wrap physical gifts to put under the tree!

How Do I Gift Quest Games?

Unfortunately Oculus/Meta does not have the ability to gift gift cards (unlike VR Wave!) but you can gift individual games to other people.

To do this, go to the store page of the game of your choice. Under the blue price button, you should see ‘Buy for a friend’.

Click that, then add your recipient’s email address (it can be any email, not necessarily the one tied to their account), add your payment info, then a digital game code will be sent to them for them to add to their account. Not too difficult right?

VR Accessories and Stocking Stuffers

Prefer to have something physical to stuff their stocking with or to have under the tree? No problem! We’ve got you covered there as well with ideas that won’t break the bank.

VR Wave has some fantastic accessories to get you started!

Custom Prescription VR Lenses
First, the gift of VR sight! Give your special someone the ability to play VR without needing to worry about getting their glasses inside the headset. If you know their prescription details you can order the lenses themselves, otherwise gift cards are also available so the wearer can input their details on their own. Note that VR Wave offers custom lenses for more than just Oculus/Meta headsets, you can find lenses for HTC Vive, Valve Index, PSVR and more!

Quest 2 Halo Strap
Let’s be honest here, the default strap that the Quest comes with is not very comfortable, especially for longer use sessions. While comfortable, the official “Quest Elite Strap” (dubbed the ‘elite snap’) is also known to break pretty easily, and has a high price point. A better and more affordable solution would be our Halo strap, which is currently on sale for $29.99! You can expect high quality material, sturdiness, ease of adjustment (knob in the back) and ergonomic design.

Quest 2 Controller Covers
Let your gift receiver protect their Quest 2 controllers and keep them clean, while also providing more grip and comfort! These silicone controller covers also have handy knuckle straps to further prevent the controller from leaving their hands to fly into that TV monitor or random passerby!

Quest 2 Face Cover
At one point or another, in VR you will get sweaty. The default Quest 2 face cover contains a pretty absorbent material which will get gross over time. Instead, gift someone this premium leather face cover which feels good, is long lasting and much much easier to clean. It also includes a light shade over the nose area, preventing room light from bleeding into the headset, keeping you immersed in your VR experience!

Quest 2 Carrying Case
Finally for those who like traveling with their Quest 2 (and who doesn't? It’s wireless and meant to be traveled with!), gift them a carrying case that fits not only the headset itself, but also both controllers and has extra room for cables.

Microfiber Cloths
Always a great stocking stuffer, wipe off lint, oil, smudges and more to keep those VR lenses clean!

Light Up VR Headset Stand
The Asterion light up VR stand features seven different color options to choose from as well as an alternating color mode. It also has a convenient USB A charge port so you can charge your Quest while displaying it!

Tumblr With a Straw
This one may seem silly, but what you may not realize is that it’s actually pretty difficult to drink out of a normal cup or bottle while wearing a headset (the headset gets in the way). Straws become your best friend, and you definitely need to remember to stay hydrated during a VR session!tumblr with straw

Price: $15.99
Logitech Gaming Earbuds/Headset
Logitech (the well known gaming peripheral company) has actually made earbuds and headphones specifically for the Quest! While the default sound coming from the Quest is okay at best it can definitely be improved by either the Logitech G333 earbuds or the Pro Oculus Ready headset.

If you need help setting up your virtual reality room, Porch has you covered! Check out their blog post on getting started - spacial requirements, gear, furniture and more!

While this list is definitely not conclusive (there are many many more fantastic games and accessories out there!), hopefully this gets you started on what you can either add to your own wishlist or gift to the VR enthusiast in your life! By the time you read this some of the games may also be on sale for Black Friday, so check often!

We hope you have Happy Holidays and enjoy this wonderful time of year!
