25 Go-To Tween Boy Gifts

Shopping for a tween boy this year?  I have you covered!  I may not fully understand what Rizz, Skibbidi or Bussin, but I usually hit the mark with gifts for them.  

25 Tried & True Gifts for tween boys

There’s no time to waste, so let’s dive right in! Here are my top 25 gift recommendations for tween boys, whether it’s for Christmas, birthday, or a special milestone gift!  Some of my kids interests are quite niche, so I’m not focusing too much on those.  Though I’d encourage you to think about their interests as a starting off point of gifting!

Cold Hard Cash but with a twist

This is a little gift box but you put the cash inside!  It’s so fun to give.  I like to put 1s in the front, and then slowly with the bigger bills.  It’s been a hit!  

Another way I’ve loved to give cash is with a personalized cash box.  I gave one to my sons friend five years ago, and just recently I saw him using it.  

Over the door Basketball

We bought this for Wes last year for his birthday, and it was the one thing he wanted to play with and set up immediately.  It’s been a hit with him and the boys friends.  It’s also such a great shade of green!  

KID KINDLE

I bought the boys kindles for when we traveled to spain over the summer.  Every year before that they would run out of books to read – and finding english books is not as easy there.  They loved it on their trip, and it was a great way to wind down at night too.  They still use it almost every day.  Last week John read over 8 hours on it!  And that’s in addition to what he’s reading at school.  I love that I can see exactly what they are reading, approve requests for new books, and see how long they have read.  Wes loves it just as much!  He likes it bring it to school too.  I also love that it’s distraction free.  No other apps to think about when they are reading!  

For the sports guy

The boys had these old igloo water bottles for soccer that were falling apart.  For Christmas we’re upgrading them to a Stanley ice flow.  I’m adding their name or nickname with the Joy Creative Shop vinyl stickers (use code SARAHt10).  

Crocs and Jibbitz

I cannot believe I’ve ever bought crocs, but here we are.  They love them.  Buy Jibbitz that are to their interests.  

Stocking Stuffer

Not the most exciting gift, but good to get into the habit!  We love the megaman (aluminum free) space bar and pro deo.  You can get 15% off with code SARAHT15

Gazelle Adidas

I think these Gazelle Adidas are so cute! 

Free Fly

I love these bamboo hoodies because they are UPF, perfect for travel bc they take up little space, and SO soft.  

ECHO GLOW

You can connect this multicolor smart lamp to your Echo device, and you can ask Alexa to change the color, adjust brightness, and create helpful routines. You can also control it with a tap.

 

Drum set

Okay hear me out!  This one has headphones, though you can plug a speaker if you need to.  So it’s perfect for their practicing and for keeping you sane!  

This was Santa’s gift for Wes last year.  It’s been a hit with both boys and their friends.  

Nex Playground Game sytem

I eyed this at Target the other day.  Looks like such a great family gift!  It’s active + gaming + family friendly.  Win win win.  

A lego to work on

This is a LEGO you won’t mind them working on in the “Formal Lego Dining Room”.  lol (:  

$15 set of retro socks

These are the boys preferred socks these days.  

Their Favorite Premiere League Team

We’re soccer crazy here so in addition to a ticket to an upcoming soccer game, we will surely refresh their jersey collection!  I also love that there are casual options like this one.  

Quality Luggage

If he needs new luggage, this State one is so clever and their products last!  

RC PLANE

My kids have had so much fun with this RC plane!  

A MINI FRIDGE

Wes has one in his room filled with waters.  I think he just likes it when his friends come over (:  

SUNGLASSES

In my experience of tweens so far, if you buy the cute sunglasses they are not so interested.  These ones are their go-to!  

Pokemon

Pokemon Cards are always a hit.  But does he have something to organize them with?  This is what we have!  

Golf Polo

Lacoste polo is always a great gift.  Whatever they are made out of, is incredible.  These pass down and down and down.  

Action Bible

The boys love this one!

Gold Cross

This one makes me LOL.  During baseball season the boys always wear their gold crosses.  I bought this inexpensive one years ago, and it still looks great!  

ARMY MEN

My boys still love to play with Army men.  Their elaborate battle fields crack me up.  

BECCO BAGS

These are hits with my boys and their friends.  You can add patches – they are all velcro – so you can also switch it up.  This is a great gift that’s practical but also fun.  

GHILLIE SUIT

My GF gave my boys a Ghillie suit and it’s hilarious how much the kids all love it.  Nerf battle in the backyard?  This is what everyone wants to wear!
