Between Black Friday and the festive season, now is a good time to start getting some early gift shopping done for the last few months of the year. For the gamer in your life, there are plenty of options out there, but nothing is more durable (or comforting!) as a themed plush toy. Hug it, squeeze it, or display it on a shelf, a plush toy based on a video game character is a great quick gift that can easily be stuffed into a stocking. If you need a few ideas, we've got three steeply discounted plush suggestions below that you can look at, all designed by specialist company New Game Plush. As an added bonus, all three of these dolls come with a digital game code for Nintendo Switch, so that's essentially two gifts for the price of one. More Black Friday deals
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (Plush and game code)
$18 ($50) Shovel Knight is an indie gaming icon who has appeared in numerous games at this point. This particular doll captures the pixel-influenced design of the medieval warrior, retaining his simple charm and even bundling his trademark weapon alongside him in case any nefarious activity breaks out on your shelf. This version of the game is the Treasure Trove edition, which packs in the original adventure with new tales starring Plague Knight, Specter Knight, and King Knight. There's also four-player local co-op mode, a co-op campaign, and several challenge modes to dig into. It's worth noting that just the game itself normally costs $40, so you're getting a discount on the game and getting a plush to sweeten the pot.
Super Meat Boy Forever (Plush and game code)
$16 ($45) You could hit up your local butcher, grab a steak, and draw a face in it, or for a more hygenic celebration of Super Meat Boy, you could grab this adorable plushie instead. Plus, it won't spoil after a few days. This doll captures all the charm of the spectacular slab of meat, and packs in Super Meat Boy Forever for added digital nutritional value. If you're unfamiliar with the game, imagine tight platforming, brutal challenges, and constant squishy death that gives way to a feeling of undiluted satisfaction when you eventually clear a level.
Shantae and the Seven Sirens (Plush and game code)
$18 ($50) One of the best-kept secrets in platform gaming, Shantae games are quirky and vibrant quests starring the plucky adventurer. The Switch code for Shantae and the Seven Sirens gives you access to a game that combines Fusion Magic abilities with an awesome aquatic journey full of danger as Shantae takes on the Seven Sirens. The included plush is about nine inches tall when seated, and comes with a fully posable ponytail and Shantae's secret weapon.
