Mom’s love video games too and this holiday season it’s time to show her just how much she means to you. While there is no way to thank her for all she has done over the years, you certainly can try. Check out our list of the best video game gift ideas for mom this holiday season.
Nintendo Switch Lite
Why not surprise Mom this holiday season with her very own Nintendo Switch Lite. It’s available in several different colours and is perfect for the mom. Whether she has only a few minutes or on rare occasions an hour or two to play, you can’t go wrong with giving her a Nintendo Switch Lite. It’s completely portable and doesn’t require a TV to play. With over 4000 games available, there are games for all types of players to enjoy! Imagine the smile on her face when she unwraps her very own Nintendo Switch lite Christmas morning!

Harvestella on Nintendo Switch
If you’re looking for a game to get mom this holiday season, I highly recommend Harvestella on Nintendo Switch. It’s a life simulation game with role playing game elements mixed in and she will love it. In the game, you grow and tend to crops, construct items, go fishing, take care of the animals and make friends with others from different towns.
The game takes place in a vibrant and colourful world where abnormalities appear between seasons. These abnormalities create the “Quietus,” a season of death that takes place between the naturally occurring four seasons. During the Quietus the crops wither and people cannot venture outside. Your job is to find out the origins of the world and discover the truth behind what is causing these abnormalities.

A microSD memory card for more storage on her Nintendo Switch
The internal storage of both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite is 32GB. Typically, this isn’t enough for most people. With saved games, videos, and system updates the storage fills up quickly.
If mom wants to download games on her Nintendo Switch, she’ll quickly run out of space. I recommend getting a 256GB or 128GB memory card for her Nintendo Switch. It’s designed to allow you to store and download up to 15 games. Game sizes vary, but it should fit around 10 to 15.
Both the Switch and Switch Lite support memory cards up to 2TB in both SDXC and SDHC formats. You don’t have to use a branded card to use these cards. At Best Buy, we carry a wide variety of memory cards that are compatible.
