We had some help with this guide from some of my favorite teen boys (18), and tween nephews! Thanks Ella who put her stamp of approval on the cute fashion pieces, and put our guide together. There are things he can wear, play, and use for self care. Descriptions below on each item too, very helpful!
Teen Boy Gift Guide-
Beanie– This beanie is definitely a must have for winter. It is perfect to wear with a normal outfit, or out in the snow (skiing/snowboarding)!
Hoodies– I love this hoodie so much! Who doesn’t like a good quality hoodie? A lot of my friends have this hoodie in many different colors.
Adidas Samba– Most of you guys know about Samba‘s by now, but they’re literally the best shoe. They are super easy to style and come in so many fun colors and styles.
Pickleball Kanjam– This outdoor game combines pickleball and kanjam. It is super fun for all ages, but can get very fun, and competitive with teen boys!
Film Camera– Film cameras are so fun to take on vacations, or anywhere to capture memories. It can fit in a bag or pocket, making it very easy to take around.
Headphones– These are definitely on my Christmas list after using my dads on a trip! They are bluetooth, but they also come with a cord.
Jeans– Every boy needs a new pair of jeans every now and then. These are a baggy, relaxed fit that fit true to size.
Shoes– I love these shoes because they add personality, and style to an outfit! You can wear them dressed up or for a casual outfit. Such a cool vintage look.
Fishing Kit– This is a mystery tackle box for fishing bass. My friends Leo and Sim love fishing and this would be such a perfect gift for them.
Nike Socks– I love these socks. I wear them every day whether it’s casually or if I’m playing sports. They go with everything and every boy would love them!
Pimple Patches– Most teenage boys have acne, and don’t want to add skincare to their routine. Pimple patches are very simple and take such little effort!
PS5– Although I am not obsessed with video games, I have loved having this. You can get many games to play on your PS5.
College Football Game– Most guys I know have been obsessed with this game. It is so fun to play alone or with someone else! It is like you are watching a real college football game.
Sweatpants– If you are looking to splurge a little bit, Lululemon has such great quality clothes. Personally, these are my favorite sweatpants because they are so cozy. They come in many different colors.
Owala Water Bottle– This water bottle fits in my backpack pocket which makes me stay hydrated at sports and school. It keeps liquid cold for up to 24 hours!
Blue Light Glasses– Personally, I wear these glasses because I think they look so cute. A plus is also they block out the harmful blue light from screens!
Trimmers– After trying many electric trimmers I can say this one is the best! It is cordless, and lightweight. You can use it in the shower as well.
Speaker– This is my favorite speaker because it is small, waterproof, and can float! I also like the loop at the top so you can attach it to things like a carabiner.
Kettlebells– If your teenager is trying to get stronger I suggest getting them kettlebells. You can use them at your house instead of having to go all the way to a gym!
Kendama– So many of my friends have Kendamas and use them all the time. I have loved learning how to do cool tricks, and this is a sticky Kendama which is perfect for doing just that.
Bloom Cleanser– I wash my face with this cleanser every morning and night. It is so refreshing and keeps my skin clear!
