Whether you're shopping for a home collector, arcade owner, or a first-time machine buyer, these gift ideas combine practicality, fun and a little holiday sparkle. This year we are focusing on affordable options with a sprinkle of high end gifts as well as ideas for creating your own gift bundle! If you are a gift guide junky, you can also check out our previous Pinball Gift Guides (see this one, this one, and our last one). 

And when in doubt about what to buy or when you are short on time, a gift card is always a safe bet too!

High Quality Replacement Pinballs

A set of fresh pinballs can make those subtle changes that enhance game play. High-polish, carbon-steel balls are the standard for smooth, consistent play. 

You'll find this collection of replacement pinballs is not only high quality and affordable but made in the USA 🇺🇸 yay!

Varieties include the standard pinball, Polaris Carbon Pinball (resists magnetization), and Ninja Premium. 

For fun, try themed pinballs-- like a spooky eyeball for monster-themed games or a red ball for a fiery playfield. 

Keep in mind that colored and themed pinballs are best used as an accent and not as replacements for standard playfield balls- especially on modern pinball machines. They are lighter in weight and will fly through modern games given the strength of their flippers and mechanisms. 

I love this great all around gift- new pinballs keep on giving- game after game.  

Game-Specific Flipper Toppers

The pinball flippers are one of the most watched areas of the playfield- so why not make them shine? Our selection of game-specific flipper toppers are an awesome and inexpensive stocking stuffer for the pinball lover in your life. These high quality toppers are made from durable, high quality acrylic not decals making them stand out. 

Pingulp 3.0 Beverage Caddie 

Enjoying your favorite beverage during pinball- highly encouraged! And that's why this gift makes my recommendation list virtually every year! This clever, inexpensive cup holder mounts to a pinball leg using common tools and can be removed for cleaning using its quick release bracket. This is a classic pinball lovers gift!

Other variations of pinball beverage caddies are also available with larger profiles that fit those giant water bottles and beer mugs. 

Pinhedz Glass Cleaner Bundle

Microfiber Towels

This year we decided to launch our own microfiber- this simple towel is a must have for the persnickety player that likes to keep things clean. Our Mezel Mods lint-free towel is the perfect size for keeping glass, plastics and cabinet finishes spotless. By the way, this cool Microfiber is a free gift for Mezel Mods purchases of $150 or more. Yay free gifts!

Pinball Cabinet Assembly Blades (Protectors)

Keep cabinet art pristine with these easy-to-use protectors that prevent scratches and wear during playfield lifts. Don't be that gal (or guy) that scratches the inside of your cabinet- trust me, it's no bueno (that's New Mexican for not good). This one is perfect for your pinball friend that is constantly lifting the playfield.

DIY Pinball Machine STEM Kit

This totally awesome kit for kids of ALL ages allows you to build a working tabletop pinball machine while learning about mechanical design and physics! A notable side benefit is you might find more interest in playing real pinball from your family after assembling and playing this mini-pinball playfield! I can't wait to do this with the grandkids!

"You're Now Entering the Pinball Zone" 3D Poster

Posters are a dime a dozen but those created by real pinball artists are a treasure. We are showcasing illustrator Brad Albright who is known playfield art on Multimorphic's newest release, Portal. This nifty poster is a nostalgic, artful nod to one of the most iconic pinball themes ever made- Twilight Zone. This 3D wall poster is a perfect for the ultimate game room. 

Rosie the Pinball Riveter Christmas Ornament

Celebrating women in pinball, this ornament is inspired by the iconic Rosie the Riveter! This clever ornament takes top prize from Mrs. Mezel Mods (that's me the author here) who is a huge supporter of the ladies of pinball. Add this awesome little pinball stocking stuffer to your holiday gift giving! You won't regret it!

Pinball Replacement Glass 

Our top-tier recommendation for bigger spenders is the Voodoo Playfield Glass. This ultra-clear, anti-reflective glass is like magic! It transforms visibility, reduces glare and gives your playfield a crystal-clear finish. Not lying when I say it makes you think there is no glass on the game! This luxury add on is fantastic and is sure to be treasured by the pinball player in your life! Available in standard and wide body sizes.
