Inside: Have a teen boy on your shopping list? This list of gifts for teen boys will help you gift them things they actually love.
Gone are the days of lego sets and toys and action figures.
My son has left behind his days of playing quietly on the carpet and riding his scooter up and down the street and playing in the backyard.
He’s growing up and the puzzles and toys are put away or given away.
And while we can mourn the loss of playtime and be sad that it’s given way to hanging out with friends or chilling by themselves, we also need to figure out what in the world to buy them for their next birthday or for the winter holidays.
Because they’re not quite men, but they’re definitely no longer children. So what do they want? What do they need?
When I ask my teen son, I get a lot of shoulder shrugs and “I dunno.”
So I’ve gathered some of his most favorite gifts from over the years that we’ve both given to his friends and given to him. Hopefully, these gifts for teen boys gift guide helps you if you have a teen boy on your shopping list.
