Inside:Gifts for Teen Boys They Actually Want
I used to think the hardest person to buy gifts for was my husband. Then my son became a teenager…..
Seriously, other than gift cards and cash it felt like there was nothing else he would really want. But what fun is that on Christmas morning? There needed to be a few things to open.
So, what’s a mom to do? Well, this mom waited until she had a whole bunch of somewhat funky smelling and starving teen boys over after a soccer game and then bribed them with pizza to give her the inside scoop on the best gifts for teen boys.
These were the gifts for teen boy suggestions they came up with and dubbed as things that’d be cool to receive. Of course, cash or gift cards were still their number one pick as gifts for teen boys, but sometimes, it’s fun to still give them a little Christmas magic. Because they probably won’t recall that fast food gift card in 5 years but the sonic boom alarm clock? That’s one he’ll always remember!
You might be surprised by a few they come up with. However, from fun to funny, practical to punny, these ideas are unique and sure to put a smile on a teenager’s face (or at least avoid a few eye rolls)!

I purchased a changing shower but it was like Red for hot, Blue for cold, and green for medium. It helped my son take a shower one day when we had an outage. Then the helicopter my sil gave that to him several years ago. They kind use it once and then are done with it.
