61 Best Gift Ideas Teen Boys Will Love
In other words: 61 cool prezzies for the ~youths~.
Shopping for a teenage boy would be so much easier if you could read their minds (trust, you don't want to anyway). Since you can't, we've rounded up 61 of the best gifts that a 13- to 19-year-old would want for the holidays, for whatever their interests are. For instance, if he spends all of his time in his room listening to music and playing video games, help him make that space his own with room decor, devices, and gift ideas for music lovers. And if he's the guy who thinks sweatpants are dress pants, help him out with one of these clothing items or pairs of shoes that they need but would probably never buy for themselves. Keep scrolling for the 61 gifts for teenage boys that they'll definitely love—even if they're too cool to admit it.
Marshall Emberton Portable Bluetooth Speaker
He's gonna love listening to all of his fave tunes on this little portable (and WATERPROOF) speaker. Also, might I point out how dang cool it looks?
Amazon Essentials Men's Long-Sleeve Flannel Shirt
Formal clothes are probably a no-go, but a plaid button-down shirt (like this one) is nice enough to wear to dinner and yet still casual enough to lounge in with his friends.
The Ridge Minimalist Metal RFID Blocking Wallet with Cash Strap
Now that the guy has his driver's license, he'll need a slim, durable, protective wallet to keep it in.
Layering pieces, like this corduroy shirt jacket, don't get enough credit, but they make great gifts (read: he'll actually use them).
Every gamer needs a good headset. If he doesn't already have a pair, this one is—wait for it—game-changing.
Guys, it's a pizza box full of white crew socks. Need I say more?
He might not have been born in the ’90s, but he still has an appreciation for the simpler times when windbreakers ruled the world. He’ll definitely love this lightweight vintage-inspired jacket.
The guy's into sports, you say? A jersey tank is an absolute staple in any young athlete's wardrobe.
A clever cleanser like this will (hopefully) help encourage him to be productive. Nothing like the smell of peppermint oil and menthol to wake up him in the morning and get him moving.
If the guy plays football, help him with his strength and resistance training with the gift of these weighted anti-grip football gloves. Bonus: The gloves also come with this drawstring bag for easy storage.
Perfume Shrine 11 Designer Cologne Samples Vials
Introduce him to the world of luxury fragrance with this sampler set. No need to splurge on a designer cologne, either. This comes with 11 best-selling scents that he can toss in his gym bag, locker, backpack, and wherever else for a quick spritz.
A teen boy's idea of decorating is to throw a few wall posters up. Help him make it a little classier with some poster frames. Even better if you fill it with an autographed poster from a band he likes.
A denim jacket is a great wardrobe staple, but the traditional blue can feel unoriginal. Get him a faded black denim one like this to boost his edge factor.
If he’s been taking his guitar practice more seriously lately, treat him to this acoustic guitar set. Besides, it's a teenage right of passage to learn how to play "Wonderwall."
Growing fellas will definitely need a new pair of classic black denim jeans to swap with his old favorite pair that no longer fits.
Can't get your hands on a PS5? Get him this gaming chair that he'll very much appreciate for his gaming setup in the meantime.
Next Level Jewelry Genuine Solid Sterling Silver Round Box Link Chain
Jewelry enthusiasts will want a sterling silver box chain like this. Add a pendant to it or just give it to him plain. He'll love it either way and wear it on the daily.
Teen boys live in sporty sandal slides. Even if he already has a pair of sandals like this, his feet are probs still growing (or at least wearing out his current slides) and could use another pair.
The dude doesn't have to run track to want a pair of track pants (but if he does, that's even better).
If he's the camping type, a fleece is a classic gift, and he'll love the vintage-inspired look of this printed half-zip.
