It's that time of year again...time to start thinking of Christmas gift ideas! As of today, there are 47 days until Christmas 2017.
I know some folks already have most of their gifts purchased, and others haven't even thought about the holiday season yet. I fall somewhere in between. I've started making mental lists, but haven't actually started planning or buying yet. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be posting some gift ideas. We'll get things started with teen boys.
In my opinion, teen boys and men can be very difficult to buy gifts for! My son is not into clothing or shoes at all, so that is not a great option. I know some guys are really into various athletic shoes or team gear, so that makes a great gift for them. Here are a few ideas I've stumbled across that would be fun options for a teen boy.
I haven't seen this game in person, but apparently it is very popular right now. It looks like a mix between four square and volleyball. Spikeball
is a portable game that can be played anywhere. It says that it was first seen on Shark Tank. Looks like fun!

Jack has this fun gadget, and he has loved playing around with it since about age 8. The Airzooka
is an "air gun" that sends a blast of air out. It's pretty cool! To tell you how much he likes it, it's one of the few items he brought over to our rental house!

This magnetic dart board
would make a fun addition to a boy's room or a game room.

A ticket stub diary would be a great gift for a teen who enjoys concerts or sporting events.
A foam "beanbag" would be great for a teen to lounge around in. I can see Jack playing his guitar or playing video games in this chair. One option is found on Amazon, although I see now that the cover is not really removable for washing. Another option can be found at Pottery Barn Teen.
These portable hammocks are so popular right now.
Jack doesn't play with Legos anymore, but he still loves to build a Lego project. There are lots of big Lego set options for a teen who is interested in this. They can be very expensive, but the detail in these kits is amazing. Here are a few ideas: Big Ben, Tower Bridge
, Death Star
, Volkswagon Beetle, or Architecture Skylines. There is also a series of Lego sets for Landmark Buildings.

A duffle bag makes a great gift option for a teen - either a classic style like the one shown above
These dog pajamas from Gap would be a great gift for a dog-loving teen.
There are plenty of gift sets available this time of year from stores like Target.

Would you believe I have NO teen boys in my life?
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Tanya. I think that teen boys are the hardest to buy for. By the way, I bought those Gap jammies for the Mr. Shhh... don't tell him - they're for Christmas. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with us!! I have absolutely NO experience with teen boys but I hope a little boy is in my future ;) those pj pants are ADORABLE and I know so many people who love playing spikeball!
ReplyDeleteBoys are hard to buy for - and whenever I see ideas for them it's all sports equipment and nerf guns. I don't do guns and Zachary doesn't do sports...
ReplyDeleteThis year I'm hoping to get a Nintendo Switch and a few games and then maybe some smaller things!
This is great for me to reference for my nephews!!
ReplyDeleteSome good ideas here, looking forward to some more suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You are the best! I went ahead and put a couple of these in my cart. Teen boys are hard to shop for. Jesse hasn't even been able to come up with anything that he knows he would want, but I think the dart board and the Spikeball would be something that he would get a lot of use out of.
ReplyDeleteFun ideas! I've never heard of Spikeball but that's awesome it's a portable game. I think boys in general really can be tough to shop for, so I always appreciate ideas. :)

Don't have a lot of experience shopping for teen boys, other than when we do buy for the girls' beaus. It is hard if they aren't into sports and the like. We usually fill a stocking with gift cards to their favorite places (food, movie, grocery, gas) along with their favorites treats/snacks.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the link up! These are some great ideas! Shopping for teenagers can be so hard! I saved a couple to my amazon wish lists so I don't forget them! ;)
ReplyDeleteTotally looking into that airzooka for Trip! Great ideas!
