The Best Way To Buy Video Games for Holiday Gifts

christmas

Pretty much every year since my kids started “gaming” they have been asking for new video games for Christmas. They tend to get a little bored with one after a few months and with the allure of all the new, exciting games coming out, they can’t help themselves.

With the excitement of all things Pokémon this year, my son has been asking for several new games including the new Pokémon Sun and Moon. So, I have a plan. It’s a pretty smart way to replenish their game stash without breaking the bank. Want to hear it?

Trade.

It’s simple: just trade in the old games that they are no longer interested in. The games they have played and decided they didn’t really like, and the games they played so much in the first week that they were bored by week two.

Save
Every year before the holidays we go through the huge stash of toys and donate the things we don’t play with much anymore. Now, we’ve added video games to that de-stash and put them in a separate bin that I will be trading. (Shhh.)

At GameStop it’s really easy. All you do is bring in your used games (or consoles, or even cell phones and accessories) and get store credit to purchase other items in store – you can even get cash. If your kiddos are crazy for all things Pokémon like mine, there is much to choose from like the new Pokémon Sun and Moon games (if you trade for one of these you get 20% extra credit!) and lots of collectibles, too. The store associates are super friendly and knowledgeable, so if it’s your first time trading don’t worry – they will make is so easy for you!

Don’t forget to visit GameStop on Facebook and Instagram.
