Holiday Gift Guide – Best Gifts for Teenage Boys

Teen boys and young men are notoriously hard to buy for and since my son is in his late 30’s, I’m totally out of touch with the gifts that teens would like. So to get the inside scoop on this, I’ve enlisted the help of an expert. Amy helps me with lots of things on the back end of this blog and has a teen son plus a young man in college so she really knows the ropes and the best gifts for teenage boys. Please welcome Amy!

Teen boys are so finicky and I would say one of the hardest to buy for on my list. I came up with a few good ideas in almost every price range to give your teen something to smile about this season.

  1. Fantastic idea to list these ideas for teenage boys, Jennifer. A great help….Thanks!!!

  2. Yeah, teenage boys are a tough/expensive category to shop for. I have college age sons. I am buying cocktail shakers and martini glasses. Young people are into fancy drinks, evidently. Also, gift sets of their favorite fragrances. Like everyone else we shop for, it really comes down to noticing their likes.

  3. Only teenagers in our family are grandchildren now and this year shopping for the grandsons’ major gifts has been made easy as all are into hockey so its ‘cash’ this year as a gift to put towards their choice of a hockey stick (since play on official teams). However, do still fill a stocking for them as Santa still leaves them at our house for all family members bringing me to some of your suggestions; as one will be getting a pair of Soft Moc slippers in his (very similar to the the Ugg pair you listed) , another an wireless/UV Cleaner etc. in accordance to their needs but always a small Lego pkt. and a mini snow globe as both are traditional …☺. Oh, shall mention as one is only thirteen (1st year high school); he will be getting Perri Ellis Cologne 360 Red in his as have done some research and it comes highly recommended for this age group as apparently it is a mild scent and not long lingering plus its pricing is more than reasonable. (Needless to say, filling stockings can also be an exercise for the gray-matter …. lol!)

    1. I think filling and opening stockings is one of my favorite parts of Christmas.

    These are great ideas!
    My son is a high school senior and just turned 18. He loves chai tea but we discovered to make it home he needs a pestle and mortar, so he’s getting that.
    He asked for a cardigan, like old professor style cardigan and he wants a cashmere sweater.
    He has on his list nose hair trimmer and electric shaver, which I gave him last year, so I need to check under his sink.
    I’m also getting him a weighted blanket and a daily calendar as he tends to forget what’s due when.
    He’s doing the 2+2 program starting next fall where he’ll go to the community college for his associate degree and finish up at an instate university. We get him for two more years! He’s our FET IVF only child so this makes me happy.
