Gaming Accessories That Give Strong Plant Vibes

Best Console Gaming Accessory for Plant-Lovers
ZOOMHITSKINS Nintendo Switch Skin
For Switch gamers who love plants and flowers, getting a Switch skin is probably the easiest way to express their love for nature. This Switch cover can fit over either the standard Switch or the Switch OLED, and can still be docked after the skin is applied. Available in several botanical designs, from sunny yellow flowers to neon succulents to simple green fauna, so all kinds of plant parents can find a favorite style for their plant-themed gaming room.
Made with a durable vinyl material, this plant-themed Switch skin is soft to the touch, yet protects the console from scratches everywhere except the screen. The skin sticks very well once fully applied, but can be adjusted quite a bit during the initial application, making it easier than ever to give your Nintendo Switch a green thumbs up!
Best PC Gaming Accessory for Plant-Lovers
Flortlias Transparent Double Sided Stained Window Film
PC players may have more room to accessorize than console gamers, but it can be difficult to change up the look of a gaming PC setup. The Flortlias Static Cling Stained Glass Window Film is the perfect way to spruce up a PC tower with a window, especially for players who love plants. There are 11 different styles to choose between, from simple green leaves to seasonal daffodils, all in the style of a stained-glass window.
Unlike real stained glass, though, these static cling sheets are easy to apply and remove, and they can be cut to any size or shape with just regular scissors. Depending on what kind of PC tower you have, this thin vinyl sheet may hamper cooling, though on most PCs the effect will be negligible at worst.
This decoration isn’t the cheapest option, at $30, but it’s far from expensive for most users. The large roll does offer ample material for any PC tower, and many users will have enough left over for a window in their gaming space too. Even users with RGB inside their PC will be able to enjoy this leafy decoration, as the window cling allows most light to come through the pretty patterns.
Editor’s Choice Gaming Accessory for Plant-Lovers
JACKYLED Artificial Ivy Garland
Gamers love having extra lights in their space, especially if they’re plant lovers. Although fake plants are less than ideal for those with a green thumb, they’re perfect for creating a plant-themed gaming space without having to worry about the plant dying. The JACKYLED Artificial Ivy Garland offers users a total of 90 feet of ivy lighting that’s completely customizable and controllable by remote.
The one major downside is that the string light and the ivy garland do not come pre-attached. However, this does leave the door wide open for you to set up the ivy lighting exactly as you see fit, making it ideal for any space. This also means that it’s easy to upgrade that lighting at a later date, perhaps once you’re ready to install smart string lights that can communicate directly with your PC or smartphone.
As it stands though, this string light ivy garland is a super affordable option, currently on sale for $20 and hardly ever breaking the $25 mark. Plus, the dual-toned leaves mix together to create a more realistic fake ivy than other options. Of course, you can choose one of the two options that don’t mix colors as much, which is even cheaper, though a bit shorter.
