The Best Christmas Gifts For Teen Boys (written by a teen – my son!)

We asked our 14 year old son, “What are the best Christmas gifts for teen boys this year?” Here’s his list, straight from the teen boy himself.

In our house, we ask the kids to make a list of a few things they’d like to get for Christmas. We pick out a “big” gift to get them from their list, but then we also try to give them a couple *smaller* things that aren’t on their list. It’s always nice to surprise them on Christmas morning!

The teen years are a bit more challenging to buy for, so I asked my 14 year old son to compile some ideas for all of us. This post is the result of my request: the best Christmas gifts for teen boys, compiled by a teen — my son!

Our youngest son also has a post here on the blog: Cool Toys for 11 Year Old Boys.

I hope it helps you with ideas, whether you’re a parent looking for smaller, simple gifts, or a friend/aunt/grandparent who just doesn’t want to break the bank.

Best Christmas Gifts For Teen Boys, Without Breaking The Bank

FujiFilm Instant Camera

Perfect for being silly and taking pictures while hanging with friends. The army green color is his top pick!

Jack Link’s Beef Jerky

This Teriyaki flavor is the best, by far.

Badger Balm For Hardworking Hands

The winter weather dries out his hands, too, and this is a tough moisturizer he won’t be embarrassed to carry with him.

PopSocket

I had no clue what these were, but he mentioned it right off the bat. It props up your cell phone and also gives you a better grip. He particularly likes this Captain America design.

Teeth Whitening Pen

This is a quick and easy way to look good and have a gleaming smile. This one by Auraglow has great reviews.

Axe Body Spray, Apollo Scent

Um, because all teen boys love Axe. And you need to have this around. The Apollo scent is a favorite in our house.

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm

No fancy flavors for my teen, just their original beeswax lip balm.

Pop Rocks

They may seem small, but he loves them. And having a bunch is fun to share with friends.

USB Car Charger

This one has great reviews and it glows in the dark. He always needs more USB ports!

Wireless Ear Buds

These are bluetooth, waterproof, and come with a case to store them.

iTunes Gift Card

You can grab one on Amazon for increments of $25 and up. Great to use for apps, games, or music!

A New Pet

If adding a dog into the family seems like too big a challenge, what about a smaller pet? We brought a bearded dragon into our home and it’s been a terrific pet for a teenager. You can read more about them at Are Bearded Dragons Good Pets?
