9 Awesome Gifts that will make any Fortnite fan dance
Love it or hate it, Fortnite has taken over the online video game scene over the last 12 months. If you are unfamiliar with it, it’s a FREE downloadable game that’s available on all major gaming platforms (PC, Xbox One, PS4 & Switch).

1. V-Bucks
I can guarantee you that a gift of V-Bucks will knock a Fortnite fan’s socks off. V-Bucks are the digital in-game currency that allows players to purchase limited edition skins for their character and weapons as well as new dances, sprays and animations.
