Christmas 2023 is nearly here and I am so excited! I have 2 tween boys so I wanted to share some gift ideas for tween boys because they are not the easiest to shop for! I’m sharing these ideas in the hopes that you can find an idea or two that might work for your tween boy.
My sons are nearly 13 and 10 so we have been living in tween boy land for a while. Frankly it seemed much easier to figure out gifts for them when they were younger and in love with toys and Legos but I think I have come up with a few good ideas for you.
All of the items I am listing are either things that my boys have asked for this year or they are things that we already have and love.
Gift Ideas for Tween Boys
My boys have a few Rubik's cubes and little puzzles like this that they love. I think this would be fun for any boy who likes such things.
My boys are obsessed wih funny memes and this is such a fun game to play as a family.
This is fun for when you have a bunch of tween boys over for a party. It's fast paced and a lot of fun.
My older son has a drone on his Christmas list and this one is well reviewed.
We got a ninja ropes course 2 years ago and I think it is awesome! Having so many different options for activities is amazing.
Love them or hate them (my husband isn't a fan) Crocs are huge for tween boys. Both my boys have them and love them.
My older son also asked for an apple watch for Christmas. I think older tweens would enjoy something like this.
We have had a Nintendo Switch for our boys for years now and it has been well worth it. They play it at home and it's fantastic for long car trips.
I know that this came out ages ago for Play Station but it has just come out for Switch. My boys got to play it a little bit on my brother's Play Station and it immediately went onto their wish list. Most Harry Potter fans would love this game.
This is a game that my younger son put on his Christmas list. I guess Mario is always going to be popular.
My mom picked this out for the boys and I think they are going to have a lot of fun with it. They make a football and scoccer ball too!
I just came across this game and I think our boys are going to like it! As they have gotten older they have gotten into games more.
My oldest has this over the door basketball hoop in his room and it's great. Boys are constantly wanting to throw and shoot balls in the house and this gives him a good place to do that in a way that won't break anything.
I think as a parent you just have to let go of your child's fashion choices. One of my sons put these on his Christmas list.
We have had this for a couple of years now and it's a lot of fun for them. If you're looking for a STEM toy then this is a fun choice.
My younger son who is 10 and super into creating art would love this!
Having an extra set of these around is helpful.
We got the boys a Ping Pong table 2 years ago and it's a lot of fun to play together as a family and when they have friends over.
