50+ Excellent Gifts for Teenage Boys
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES TO BE CREATIVE and DIY
Sculpd Air Dry Clay Kit
Bring the pottery shop to your home! This is a completely unique idea for anyone who loves to create!
Paint by Sticker
These were an item on some of my teenage daughter’s friends’ Christmas wishlists and she loves them too. Paint by Sticker books are so relaxing and fun. The perfect activity for any teenager.
Travel Watercolor Kit
We actually have two of these (different brands). They’re really just the best for someone who loves art, but doesn’t need a full-on watercolor kit for everyday use. The other nice thing about watercolors is you can mix basically any color you need, so having just 12 or so is plenty. These little travel watercolor kit is perfect because it’s so convenient and effective.
Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is way better than Play-doh because after you create, you pop it in the oven to bake. The clay becomes hard and doesn’t crack or flake. I’ve seen kids make little figurines, keychains, charms – the options are endless.
Advanced Art Supplies: Canvas, Paint, Sketchbook, Pencils
These kind of supplies don’t come cheap and it’s always nice to have something more extravagant than your standard Crayola marker set. And if you haven’t ever tried out Art for Kids on YouTube now is the time to give it a whirl.
Paper Airplane Set
Paper airplanes never get old and they REALLY never get old with this fun kit that’s under $6. And as much as it might seem like something a little kid would be into – trust me, a teenage boy will eat this right up.
Balloon Animal Kit
This sounds like something that could easily turn into a paid job. Get them started with this fun kit!
Wood Burning Kit
How cool is this idea?! Definitely something geared for the older crowd for safety reasons. I love the option of being able to configure your own design or use the templates provided.
Tool Set
Whether you plan to be a DIYer or not, this basic tool set would come in handy for just about anyone at some point in their life.
ChompSaw
Definitely one of the priciest things on this list and looks like it would be worth the splurge! A completely safe cardboard cutting mechanism for kids. My girls would use this like crazy!
Soldering Kit
If you don’t know what soldering is, you are in good company. It’s to process of joining two metals together with a substance called solder. Not quite the same as welding , but along the same vein. Fabulous idea for those that love hands on projects.
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKE SUBSCRIPTIONS
Subscription Boxes
So many of you mentioned Crunch Labs subscription, which is STEM-based and incredibly popular!
Magazine Subscription
My girls, like many children, LOVE getting mail, and a magazine subscription is a nice (and inexpensive) way to get something fun in the mail every month or every quarter.
Spotify
Spotify has a lot to offer in the music and audiobook realm. I have a whole post about how their audiobooks work here.
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES SPORTS AND TO BE ACTIVE
Bucket of Baseballs
Perfect for any kid who loves to practice! A full bucket of baseballs means hours of hitting, catching, and pitching—no more chasing down the same ball over and over. A super practical gift that actually gets used.
Pickleball
Pickleball is SO popular right now and I 100% understand why. All you need are paddles and balls, there are free courts popping up everywhere, and it’s a really easy game to learn.
A Basketball Hoop
If you have the space for it, this is a really fun gift that gets your teenage boy outdoors. Or go for a smaller one that you can use inside during the winter (or summer, if you live somewhere crazy hot like Arizona).
Gel Blaster Guns
With Nerf guns all the rage, I wouldn’t be surprised if these take off! I have never seen these before, but I am so happy to see that they have a mess-free alternative to a paintball gun.
Nerf Guns
Speaking of Nerf guns, lots of people suggested this as a great gift for teenage boys. Regardless of their age, boys/men just tend to love a good nerf gun.
Frisbee Golf Equipment
Anyone looking to pick up this hobby and wants others to play with them would be wise to get a whole pack of frisbees. This set has outstanding reviews!
Silent Basketball
Perfect for kids who want to practice dribbling indoors without the nonstop noise. This quiet ball lets them work on their skills anytime—no complaints from siblings or neighbors!
Glow City Ball
These balls glow brilliantly at night and make evening play SO much more fun. Perfect for backyard games, nighttime sports, or just getting them outside when it’s dark by 5pm! This would be so fun to have around when friends come over to hang out.
Jersey
I know jerseys are expensive, but I also know they are well loved. Get a jersey of someone on their favorite team and I suggest buying a little big so they can wear it for a few years!
Laser Tag
My sister got her boys a laser tag set last year for Christmas and she says they use it all of the time together and when friends come over!
Skateboard
I have no experience skateboarding, but this is a great, active option that could provide hours of entertainment!
Rollerblades
One Christmas we got all of the girls roller blades. All you need are some skates, a helmet and a smooth surface to get going. My favorite thing about roller skating is that you can really get your heart rate up while having a blast!
Pull Up Bar
This sounds like zero fun to me. However, I can definitely see a teenager using this every time they walk by it or having pull up challenges with friends!
Boxing Pad
This syncs to music and mounts on the wall so it doesn’t take up a lot of space and is a perfect way to burn off some energy when you’er stuck inside.
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES TO SPEND TIME IN HIS ROOM
Moon Lamp
This lamp is just plain cool and great for both boys and girls. It has 128 different colors to choose from, timers and dimming options. It would be very soothing to go into your room at night and have this already lit up.
LED Color Changing Light Strips – $4.88 for 10ft or $4.97 for 6.5ft
All four of my girls (including a teenager) have these in their rooms – they’re just so fun. Perfect for boys and girls alike and really add personality to a room.
Bean Bag
The perfect hangout spot for any teen boy. Whether he’s gaming, reading, or just chilling with friends, a comfy bean bag gives him his own cozy corner. Super versatile and guaranteed to get used every single day.
Lava Lamp
Upgrade his room to something more cool or funky with a fun lava lamp!
Mini Fridge
Every teen boy dreams of having his own stash spot, and a mini fridge delivers big. Perfect for storing his own drinks or snacks gives him a little taste of independence without taking up much space.
Whiteboard for Room
This is truly something I would have never thought of, but can see the appeal. They can write down their schedule, to-do’s or more teenager-ish have their friends doodle on it when they come over.
Sports LED light
A neon sport light is a surefire way to pump up the ambiance of a room and display what they are really interested in!
Colorful Alarm Clock
If you’ve been around here for a while you know I’m a huge believer of having your phone charge somewhere that isn’t your bedroom. I’ve used an alarm clock for years and LOVE it! This colorful alarm clock is so much fun!
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES ANYTHING WEIRD/WACKY
Fun Clock
Adding something wacky and unexpected to a teen boy’s room might just be what he is looking for. Especially if they aren’t aloud to have their phones in their rooms at night, this alarm clock is not only fun, but practical.
Chicken Pens
Analese offered these as prizes at a teen party and they were one of the first things to go. Not only are they funny and cute, but they actually write really smoothly, let out just enough ink and don’t smear!
Mini Finger Pointer
Have you seen the videos floating around where these pointers are the star of the show? They are hilarious, fun and I think teenagers could get a kick out of them.
Positive Taco Jar
I love this idea of having a jar full of positive affirmations waiting for you on a day you aren’t feeling your best! Plus, the cute taco shapes are hard to say no to. This jar fits great inside a stocking!
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LOVES THE OUTDOORS
Hiking Boots
We live near the mountains and have been taking more and more hikes as the girls have gotten older. I know they would love to have some sturdy, specialized hiking boots to wear.
Fishing Gear
I love the old proverb about teaching a man to fish. Why not teach this concept to your teen, quite literally! If you live in a place close to water this works out really well, they’ll have fun doing it, and it will instill more patience in the process.
Metal Detector
For the teenage boy bubbling with adventure and curiosity, a metal detector seems like a no-brainer gift idea.
Binoculars
Don’t waste your money on those dinky binoculars and instead get these high quality ones!
Rechargeable Hand Warmers
I honestly think these could go on a gift guide for anyone above the age of 12. Analese got a pair for Christmas last year and everyone in her family fights over who gets to use them.
Keychain Carabiner Multitool
This keychain is packed with a punch. With 8 tools in one design, this would be nice for a teen boy to be prepared by just bringing his keys.
Bird Feeder
Birding doesn’t just have to be for the old folk! You might be surprised how into watching birds kids can get. Set out a bird feeder and see what backyard birds frequent your yard. You could go simple, or these ones that attach to your window would give you a really close view.
Professional-Grade Sidewalk Chalk
For the sidewalk chalk artist who is ready to up their game, these professional-grade chalks come in a broad range of colors, and are great for blending. Get ready for some elaborate artwork on your sidewalks!
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO IS MUSICAL
Lap Harp
I’ve never dabbled in playing a lap harp, but I’ve heard they are pretty easy to pick up and A LOT cheaper than a real harp.
SoundBot Shower Speaker
Now you can listen to your favorite podcasts or music while you shower! Or use it outdoors without worrying about rain or snow.
Steel Drum
Have you ever heard one of these being played? It is quite mesmerizing and a unique musical instrument that not everyone will have.
Kalimba
I have never heard of this before and then I watched the video on Amazon and they are actually really cool and can produce some very good music. This would be perfect for any child who is musical and likes unique things.
Synthesizers
These synthesizers have a very electronic sound to them and would make great space, video game and techno music. Plus they are small enough to fit in your pocket!
Drum Pads
All the reviews say these are amazing for both the drummer and the people living with said drummer. Drum pads would be a good place to start if you have an interested percussionist on your hands.
Record Player
I love that record players have made a resurgence and that today’s musicians are still making vinyl albums. This is such a fun gift to pair with a vinyl from their favorite artist.
Hand Bells
A few years ago, we bought a set of Merry Bells and they have a terrific DVD or digital play-along video with 30 different Christmas songs that have chords – definitely a step up from single note playing! – and come down the screen like Guitar Hero and you play your bell when it hits the line. You can use the code JANSSEN for 10% off them!
GIFTS FOR THE STEM TEEN BOY
KiwiCo Labs
KiwiCo is my FAVORITE option for a STEM subscription box – they really are the crème de la crème. And it’s the perfect gift that keeps on giving! Their KiwiCo Labs boxes are designed for ages 6-16+ with brand new rebuildable STEM projects. (Plus they have additional digital content to extend learning and STEM skills). Use the code EVERYDAYREADING for 50% off your first box.
Chemistry Set
After seeing this set, I really want one just to see what all 28 experiments are! This set includes real chemicals, test tubes, and safety goggles perfect for the budding scientist who is ready to move on from vinegar and baking soda volcanoes.
Programmable Robot (Sphero Bolt)
It’s a big priority in our house for our girls to learn to code. These coding robots can do so much, and provide an additional way to learn programming in a fun, hands-on way.
Microscope
Do you a curious teen who loves to dig deeper? If yes, this microscope would be eye-opening!
3D Printer
I have never heard anyone who owns a 3D printer say they have regretted the purchase. Let your child’s imagination run wild and create all sorts of cool things!
Rock Tumbler
For the kid who always comes home with a pocket full of rocks, this is the best gift! And it’s surprisingly affordable.
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES EVENTS
Tickets to Plays or Concerts
You can’t beat live theater / music and having tickets for a great production or a favorite artist is a really fun thing to look forward to.
Tickets to a Sporting Event
Whether it’s a professional team or a college team, it’s so fun to go cheer on a sports team! (My pick would be basketball, Bart’s would be football. My girls don’t care as long as we get some concessions).
Movie Theater Tickets
I love a movie at home on the couch as much as anyone, but you just can’t beat the fun of going to an actual movie theater!
Get Out Pass
If there is a Get Out Pass in your area, this would be a fantastic way to explore your own state and try out some new activities. I highly recommend, we have used ours a ton and love it! (You can use code EVERYDAYREADING for 45% off)
FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LOVES TO LEARN
Cooking Classes & Cookbook
For the foodie in your life or a child who needs a new hobby, this would be an excellent gift to build on a current hobby or to create a new one! I have a list here of my favorite kid cookbooks if you need some recommendations.
Music Lessons
This is a no-brainer gift for the musical child or a chance for them to try something new. You might even get a little concert out of it to celebrate their accomplishments.
Camera & Photography Class
This would be another fabulous class to gift! Taking pictures is incredibly popular right now and it would be so cool to learn how to get the exact shot you are wanting. I’ve heard these vintage cameras with no screen that can plug into your phone are so much fun!
Art Lessons
There are so many types of lessons out there to fit the interest of any creative child. Think classes for cupcake decorating, sewing, tie dye, hair braiding, painting (my girls loved this watercolor class), calligraphy, etc.
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES STYLE, GROOMING & PERSONAL CARE
Cologne
If they already have a go-to cologne, gifting them another bottle is an easy win. And if they’re still trying to figure out what they like, this discovery set is an excellent way to help them find their signature scent.
Wallet
A wallet is a practical gift that teenage boys actually use – perfect for holding their ID, cash, and cards as they gain more independence. This one is made of Italian leather and it feels both useful and a little bit milestone-worthy.
SneakERASERS Sneaker Cleaners
Sneakers are HUGE for teens right now and these little cleaning erasers are like magic for keeping them clean so they will always be bright and white. Because they come individually wrapped in a 5 pack, they are perfect to divide up among friends, or in stockings.
Ratchet Belt
These ratchet belts are such great quality and will last them a very long time. This is a gift that will get used for years.
Satin Pillowcase
This isn’t just a girl gift – everyone in our house has one except Bart (which I honestly think will be changing!). Satin pillowcases are great for skin and hair, so any teenage boy can appreciate the upgrade.
Toiletry Bag
This is something they would probably never buy themselves or never think they need until after using one.
Beanie
You can’t go wrong with a Carhartt beanie. Stylish, functional and very durable.
Crocs Air Freshener
This is one of those easy stocking stuffers that just keeps on giving. These auto air fresheners will keep cars smelling good for the long haul! And I know some recipients would absolutely be delighted by the mini croc design!
Skin Care
The face wash and moisturizer my teens and tweens have been using was unfortunately discontinued, but we have been loving this new brand! It’s affordable, effective and gentle on your skin! Throw in a small pack of face washcloths and you have the perfect gift!
Sneaker Crease Protectors
I’m not that big into sneakers, but for those who are, these crease protectors are a game-changer. They effectively prevent creases in the toe area, keeping sneakers looking fresh. A must-have tool for sneaker enthusiasts, they help prolong both the life and style of your kicks.
White Nike Crew socks
Remember when socks with sandals used to be a fashion faux paw and now all the boys wear are the slides or crocs with socks?
Birkenstock Clogs
I honestly thought these were shoes just for women – and then I saw a bunch of teen boys wearing them around and had to do a double take! (And if that price point is a little jarring, these are still fantastic quality but a little easier on the wallet.)
Nike Sweats
Most teens seek comfort and these Nike sweats scream just that. Plus, since these one are fleece, they will keep them warm during the cold months.
Comfrt Brand Hoodies
Comfrt hoodies are ridiculously soft and perfectly slouchy…basically a teenage boy’s dream sweatshirt. It’s the kind of hoodie he’ll wear nonstop.
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES TO RELAX
Cozy Blanket
I haven’t met an older kid who doesn’t love a cozy blanket to wrap up in a watch a movie, read or just relax. Use the code BRADSHAW45 for 45% off! (If you are looking for a more inexpensive option – these look super cozy, with plenty of color options).
Kindle
You know this is the answer that first came to mind when asked about gifts for a teen who loves to read. All four of my girls have one and use them around the clock. If you are still dubious about why this is better than a tablet or a paper book, read this post from 45 other skeptical people.
Reading Pillow
A reading pillow wasn’t on my radar for a teen boy, but after looking at the images and color options I think everyone in a family (including a teenage boy) would love one of these!
Kindle Page Turner
This is one of those things that feels unnecessary until you own it. Then you can never go back. I got a kindle clicker for my birthday this year and I just love it. It makes reading in bed, on a plane, or even just on the couch so much more comfortable and convenient.
Booklight
Basically a staple for any book-lover. I love my booklight so much because it clips to my book and has different brightnesses. Plus, instead of using batteries, this booklight charges and it lasts forever. They are perfect for trips, vacations, and for those nights where they need to read the next chapter!
Bathrobe
One of the worst parts of getting out of bed or the shower is going from complete warmth to cold. Having a nice robe to wrap up in solves that problem!
GIFTS FOR THE TEEN BOY WHO LIKES GAMES, PUZZLES & BRAIN TEASERS
Rokr 3D Wooden Puzzles
These are like a puzzle and model combined into one! I love that they have function even after they are put together.
Flipslide Game
Flipslide is an addictive, fast-paced puzzle – think Simon Says meets a Rubik’s Cube! Flip to reveal the color, slide to match the lights, and master the moves to beat the blocks. Play solo or with friends, but beware…it’s nearly impossible to put down!
Perplexes Maze Balls
Have you ever tried these? For a teen who loves puzzles (and a challenge), this is one that can keep him entertained for hours. It’s essentially a 360-degree maze inside a sphere, and the goal is to guide the tiny ball from start to finish. It’s way trickier than it looks!
Loracana Card Game
This is ideal for kids who already love collecting cards (like Pokémon). It’s a Disney-themed strategy card game – popular enough that there are major tournaments all over.
Needoh Nice Cube
Analese put these in her kids stockings last year and they were a hit for everyone in the family. They are really addicting and satisfying to mess with.
Wonder Sphere
This little ball is about the size of a baseball, but super light, and it can actually hover! Toss it for a game of pass-the-ball and watch it glide through the air, or try your luck having it boomerang back to you. It’s such a fun, fascinating little gadget!
Foldology
My girls have been doing these for months since I first took them on our Australia trip this spring and they’ve been wildly popular ever since. And don’t just think these are a kid’s gift – these little origami puzzles will keep ANYONE entertained!
Pop-Tart Game
Looks like a favorite teen snack but is actually a game! This strategy game pins players head to head to see who can “eat” the most pop-tarts first. Plus it is only $5!
Cluedle
My girls have been obsessed with puzzle books lately, so I grabbed a few for them – and even stocked up for easy friend gifts. Honestly, I might need to grab more to tuck away for Christmas!
Building Models
For those with an engineering mind, model building takes a lot of time, focus and patience. But the result is 100% worth it!
Brain Teasers
Ani got a pack of these brain teasers and they are really cool. They’re harder than they look, but when you get them, it’s so satisfying. These brain teasers are also pretty small and compact, making them super easy to bring on an airplane, in a car, or wherever else you need some entertainment.
Cube Timer
Simply flip this cube to the time you want (15, 20, 30, or 60 minutes) and it starts counting down automatically! It’s perfect for cooking, studying, workouts, or anything that needs a little focus boost.
Phantom Rubik’s Cube
Fun fact: I’ve never been able to solve a Rubik’s Cube! But for those who can – or love the challenge – this new Phantom version takes it to the next level. The twist? The colors fade in and out with the heat of your touch, making it even trickier to solve!
LEGO Icons Set or Lego Cars
Some people like to build Legos to play with them after and some like to build and put them on display. These icon sets definitely fall into the later.
