My son is definitely the most difficult person to shop for on my Christmas list. He has such specific likes and honestly not a lot of wants. For his birthday we just give in and give him cash like he always asks. But Christmas is different. I want there to be gifts under the tree not just an envelope full of cash. So finding great gifts is a long process. Can you relate? Or are your boys easier than your girls? It doesn’t seem to be sex-related, honestly. I think some kids just want more things and some really don’t care as much about stuff.
With all the shopping I do, I compiled a list of 22 items perfect for teenage boys. From LED lights to an Apple Watch – there is something for teens boys at every age.

Gift Ideas for Teenage Boys
- Eddie Bauer Mountain Plaid Sherpa Blanket – Yes, boys like cozy blankets too. My son is always stealing the downstairs warm throw.
- Hershel Supply Co. Duffle Bag – A great weekend duffle with a separate compartment for your shoes.
- Oakley Polarized Sunglasses – Sunglasses are always a great idea. I like polarized for my boys who fish. It cuts through the glare.
- Champion Logo Half Zip – Champion is a popular brand with teens right now and this has a great colorful stripe.
- Nike Down Power Puffer – A California staple goes well with Uggs and shorts (tongue firmly in cheek).
- Kiehl’s Men Skin Care Starter Kit – Get your boys hooked early on skincare. It is important for all people.
- Off-White iPhone X Case – This street brand is definitely a fav amongst the teens. This case allows your kids to “flex” without the major cash investment.
- Nike Air Jordan Mid-Top Sneaker – The ever-popular Air Jordon with a cool newsprint print.
- Apple Watch Series 5 Nike – Definitely a splurge but this Nike version of the Apple Watch is definitely cool.
- Timex x Todd Snyder Military 40mm Watch – A great starter watch.
- Hydro Flask 40 oz. – The best reusable water bottle. The most used in our house.
- Nike Hoops Pro Elite Backpack – Every boy needs more than just a school backpack. Great for all the extra gear.
- Tumi Alpha Double Billfold – Tumi products are durable and definitely great quality.
- LED Strip Lights with Phone App – Both boys and girls have these on their list likely spurred on by YouTube gamers who have them up in their rooms.
- Caputo & Co Stone Bead Bracelet – On my son’s list. He likes these bracelets as alternatives to a fidget spinner. The look great too.
- 1901 Trim Fit Plaid Flannel Shirt – 90’s Grundge is back in style and a flannel shirt is the required uniform. Pair with your son’s favorite band tee.
- Tumi Camo Toiletry Bag – Buy a quality dop kit bag now and it will last them for years.
- Spalding Basketball Popcorn Maker – How fun is this gift? Everybody loves popcorn.
- 75 Years of DC Comics – Perfect for the DC comic fan but fun for everyone.
- Philips Norelco Electric Shaver – Best to start them with an electric shaver or be prepared with lots of bandaids.
- Patagonia Brodeo Wool Cap – Keep their ears warm in this cute cap.
- Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker – For the music-loving boy who wants to play music ALL the time and EVERYWHERE they go, like my son.
