Choosing gifts for teenage boys is HARD. It’s not that different than buying gifts for grown-up guys who never want to stop and put together a wish list.

It’s notoriously difficult to get teen boys to tell you what they may want (and I think half the time it’s because they have no idea or don’t want to stop to think about it!) When they do want something, it tends to be crazy expensive. Or they really would rather just pick something out themselves, but they are afraid telling you that will hurt your feelings.

This is probably why most of the time gift cards and cash are commonly given as gifts for teen boys for birthdays, Christmas, holidays, and other special occasions. But that just feels kinda boring.

It would be nice to be able to actually give the teen boys in our lives gifts they can unwrap and we can enjoy that surprised look of joy on their faces. For just a moment, it reminds us of when they were little and sweet and smelled better. The bow on top (so to speak) would be knowing they really actually liked the gift or at least found it somewhat amusing and fun.

So, keeping that in mind, if you’d like some ideas for the best gifts for teen boys, look no further. Here it is, The Ultimate Guide of Gift Ideas for Teen Boys…and tween boys too!  My opinion.

1. Wireless Bluetooth Headphones– Headphones continue to be on trend for teen boys.

6. Popdarts Game – Such a simple yet BRILLIANT game, especially for teens. You can play this anywhere and watch it turn into the Hunger Games after a few rounds. These suction cup darts can be used on any flat service from refrigerators and countertops to tables and hardwood floors. Simply put the target market down and try to score. Awesome game to take with you on trips, to keep in the basement, or for family fun.
7. JBL Wireless Speaker – This is one of the most popular and highly related portable speakers on the market. It’s great for teen boys who want to play their favorite tunes outside, on the court or just hanging out with some of their friends.
