I’ve been running around looking at gifts for our teenage boy, and I’ve finally come up with a list of some good ideas. I hope this will be helpful to you!

• A personalized toiletry bag will make him feel grown up, and it’s something he can use for years to come.
• A classic Timex watch lets him check the time without looking at his phone.
• I’m considering buying a punching bag and gloves for our teenager. He loves to exercise, and I think a punching bag would help relieve stress and also provide a great workout.
• I bet most boys would enjoy experimenting with an acoustic or electric guitar. Check out deals on Craig’s List! I found one for $80 near me.
• A cozy blanket with his favorite team’s logo is always a good idea!
• This light-up football will be a gift from the grandparents. He’ll love this!
• These slides are all the rage. I don’t get the appeal, but I suppose that doesn’t matter!
• A portable phone charger is a great stocking stuffer.
• This portable speaker is great for blaring music while he walks to 7-11 or to McDonalds to meet his buddies. He loves it!
• A Nike hoodie is a cool fit, I hear.

Another idea (one that doesn’t lend itself to good pictures) is a DJ turntable. I think our boy would love one, and Guitar Center has some excellent options. The Guitar Center near us also offers DJ lessons!

Happy shopping!
