They’re someone you love spending time with. You two are talkin’ in voice, over text chat, and streaming games together. And as the holiday season begins, there’s a chance you might be pondering what to give to that one special friend to show your appreciation. (Or many friends!) 

Does your friend regularly play games throughout the night? Do they love streaming to their friends in voice? Are they someone with a unique profile on EVERY server they’re in, or do they keep saying “I'm STILL COLD” every five minutes in voice and need a new hoodie to keep cozy? 

We’ve got gift ideas for all types of Discord users — let’s dig in!  

Get ‘Em Something from their Discord Wishlist

Your closest Discord buddy has been with you through thick and thin, so get ‘em something you know they’ve been interested in! 

There’s a new Wishlist feature that lets people share all the stuff from the Shop they’ve been eyeing, such as Avatar Decorations, Profile Effects, and Nameplates, directly on their own profile, meaninggggg your friend may have already shown some not-so-subtle signs about what they want…

And because your friend is the one who added it to their Wishlist, there’s no second-guessing or spending hours thinking of the perfect gift (save that mental energy for planning out your next dungeon crawl). 

As of writing, people can also add Marvel Rivals items to their Wishlist, like in-game costumes and bundles. You can gift someone a Marvel Rivals cosmetic directly in Discord, without having to launch the game, or even if you’ve never played Marvel Rivals! (They might want you to join and see their new in-game skin, though!) 

You know your friend like the back of your hand… if your hand were human-shaped and talked to you every waking moment. Take a peek at their Wishlist and hand ‘em something they’ll love. (And add some stuff to your own Wishlist while you’re at it!)

For your Discord-loving friends, Gift ‘Em Nitro (and get a bonus for yourself!)

^{Editor's Note: The Winter Nitro promotion below has ended — but Nitro still makes a great gift!} 

They’re always hanging out in voice chat, yet they keep sending default emojis like 😄... if this sounds like one of your Discord friends, consider gifting ‘em a membership to Discord Nitro! 

Nitro supercharges their chat powers and gives ‘em all sorts of perks, including the ability to stream in higher quality, and the option to use a server’s custom emoji anywhere. (No more terrifying 😃.)

And for this year’s winter festivities, the love goes both ways: starting on December 12, 2025, when you gift Nitro to a friend on desktop or mobile, you can pick from a curated list of 3 Shop best-sellers to keep for yourself!

You can also purchase a Nitro gift in User Settings > Nitro and stash it in your Gift Inventory, keeping it safe for juuust the right moment to surprise a friend.

Gifted a second friend Nitro? You can pick another item from that list! By the time you gift Nitro a third time, you’ll be able to claim all three items from that list AND you’ll brighten up the day of three of your friends. (Or one friend three times! They’re really lucky to know you.)

If you’re reading this on your desktop or laptop right now, use the button below to get directly to the gifting page on the desktop app:

You can gift someone Nitro and claim one of these profile decorations for yourself until January 6, 2026 (or all of them, you’re really nice). One more gift for you: a Help Center article about gifting! We updated it just for you and included a list of the decoration reward options.  

For the One Who Always Has a Fancy Discord Profile, Check Out the Discord Shop

Has your friend ever replied to you with “oh i have everything in the shop already” after you asked them if there were any Avatar Decorations or Profile Effects that caught their eye? 

Well, they’re lying, because we just added even MORE while they weren’t looking!

In addition to Avatar Decorations and Profile Effects, there are also Nameplates, which are shown off behind your display name in Group DMs and a server’s Members List. 

Many of the more recent Shop collections include Nameplates, and there’s even entire Shop collections DEDICATED to Nameplates. We’ve got plenty of ‘em for you to pick from for your friend to equip, for any type of server they like to hang out in.

You can gift items from the Shop on both desktop and mobile — no need to sprint to your computer for a last-minute stocking stuffer. It’s also way faster than waiting for “Overnight Shipping” for a pair of socks in the most beat-up, soggy delivery box you’ve seen in your life. 

“good gift for someone who plays video games”

See that title above? If you typed that and found your way here, there’s a good chance you might not necessarily be someone who plays video games, but you’re still looking for a gift for someone who does. 

If this sounds like you, consider checking out our selection of Discord Nitro gift cards on Amazon - now available in many countries! Long story short: Discord helps people talk with their friends more easily while playing games, and Discord Nitro makes their experience even better! It’s perfect for the Discord gamer in your life.

There are a handful of gift membership options available, ranging from a month of Discord Nitro to a whole year of Discord Nitro. Discord is used to talk on many of the same devices people play video games on, so whether the person you’re thinking of plays on their computer, a phone, or even on a console, there’s probably a good chance they’re on Discord to talk with their friends. Nitro makes that time with their friends even better. 

Outside of the US? You can also purchase Discord Nitro gift cards on Amazon in the UK and select countries in the European Union (DE, FR, IT, ES)! Because they’re digital gift cards, your future giftee is sent a redeemable code that they can use at any time. 

For the Friend who REALLY Loves Discord or Has a $#!7 mic, Get ‘Em Some Discord Merch!  

“Kzzzt whatare-ksszzz you kssszztt pla-kzzt-ying kzzzt” - your friend before you buy them a snazzy new Discord-themed microphone. 

The Discord Merch shop has something for every type of Discord user, including shirts and hoodies, trinkets and accessories, and merch that helps make their Discord time even better.

If your friend ALREADY has a good mic they use on Discord, perhaps…. a warm hoodie? Dice for the tabletop enjoyer? A brand new water bottle to remind them to GET UP AND DRINK WATER, PLEASE LAY OFF THE ENERGY DRINKS!!!

Whatever it is they’re into, we’ve probably got something over at our merch store to help ‘em. Now that’s as clear of a call as any. 

Gifts? Taken care of. Your gaming backlog? That’s next on your list now that you’ve got all your seasonal gifting finished. If you have your ideas of what would make a good gift for the Discord user in your life, or if you have a heartfelt story of a Discord friend who appreciated something you gifted them, send us a tweet — we’d love to hear it.
