32 Best Christmas Gifts for Teen Boys

This mini box looks just like the original model. It’s marked at an affordable price for a gaming console, coming in just under $80.00 on Amazon. The console comes with two wired controllers, 40 games (plus two bonus games), a power cable, a USB adapter, and HDMI cable. It’s ready to play right out of the box!

The only thing you may miss is that this console can only play the pre-installed games. We’d say having the option of 42 different games is enough, but some users expressed that they had hoped to be able to buy some additional games – so this is just something to keep in mind!

You and your teen can bond as you show him (or her) some of your old favorite games and watch as they become his (or her) new favorite games! A fun Christmas gift that can involve the whole family – what’s not to love?

If within you’re budget, this is guaranteed to be your teen’s favorite Christmas gift. He’ll have so much fun using this incredibly intuitive and relatively easy to use mini-drone. Maybe one of the most fun Christmas gifts out there, this will encourage your teen to spend their days outdoors, exploring their surroundings and learning how to operate a camera and drone. 

The spark has a ton of amazing features. It’s Simple Control feature allows you to take incredible aerial photos using just hand gestures! Within seconds of turning on, this smart drone takes off and hovers in place. Using FaceAware, the Spark can lift off from your hand using facial recognition. Your teen can take beautiful cinematic quality photos and videos, and then easily edit and share them through the DJI Go 4 app. 

This drone is small, making it easy for your teen to bring on all your family trips and vacations. For a drone, this mini drone is actually super affordable, but we understand that for most people, $329.00 is a lot of money to spend. Consider it your teen’s main Christmas gift, something he’ll get a lot out of and use for years to come. 

Whether your teen is just starting to get interested in skating or has been a skater for years, this is a great Christmas gift. It arrives fully assembled (so he’ll probably want to start riding it Christmas morning), and is very lightweight yet holds up for the ride. 

The wheels provide a very smooth ride, even at faster speeds. Just make sure your teen is wearing his helmet! The maximum weight for this board is 198lbs. The board is 22 inches long and 6.5 inches wide. This board is available in a multitude of colors and styles. 

Right now this board by Rimable is for sale on Amazon for only $29.99, making it an extremely affordable Christmas gift. 

This is one of those gifts your teen will want to start using immediately. The camera is currently on Amazon for only $50, making it a steal. Just keep in mind that film is not included – and that the film adds up! If anything, it will help teach your budding photographer that each photo counts, and to find the perfect shot rather than taking hundreds of pictures at once. 

The design is super cute and easy to carry. This camera takes 2AA batteries and is pretty simple to use. The camera uses automatic exposure measurement and even signals the recommended aperture setting with a flashing LED to ensure your teen can capture the perfect photo every single time. 

For those who want to watch all their favorite TV shows without paying for a full cable package, this is the ideal Christmas gift. Through Amazon, it provides access to more than 500,000 TV shows and movies—including some content exclusive to Amazon, Hulu, and YouTube. It also provides free access to Showtime, HBO, NBC, and other premium channels, making it easy for your teenager to stay current with all their favorite shows.

The stick streams media at 4K Ultra HD resolution, and the Wi-Fi connection is stable and guaranteed to deliver quality streaming. The remote control is very easy to use, with intuitive operations that run a user-friendly interface. With Alexa on Fire TV, your teenager will be able to operate their gaming and entertainment system with their voice. Talk about next-gen fun!

At $50, this is a total steal. There is a lot of focus on Amazon’s content (perhaps too much), but once he tries it, he’ll find that it makes home entertainment a whole lot easier and cheaper.

For the teen boy who needs portable entertainment, you can’t go wrong with a Nintendo. Not only can he use it like any other console (connecting it to his TV or computer screen), but it can also be disconnected and taken on the go. The controller literally attaches to the portable screen, turning the console into a portable gaming solution.

With 3-6 hours of battery life, a beautifully bright and colorful 6.2-inch tablet-style screen, and a broad selection of well-designed, innovative games, this is an excellent Christmas gift for on-the-go gamers. The tablet screen is durable and can handle a lot of regular use, and it’s easy to quickly switch between console and portable gaming. The controller is surprisingly versatile for a portable gaming system, and he’ll love the simplicity of the user interface.

At $300, this is nearly as pricey as a full gaming console, but with far fewer (and more expensive) game options. However, given its amazing portability and versatility, it’s an excellent gift for a teen boy who likes to entertain himself while traveling.

The underwear are made of 90% Micro Modal, a material that is considered “artificial silk”. This fabric is easily washed in the laundry machine, UNLIKE silk, but is as soft as natural silk. With the 10% Spandex content, the underwear are beautifully stretchy and have just enough elasticity to be comfortable under any outfit.

For guys who need more support, the “contour pouch” is an absolute treasure. It provides a comfortable place for nestling “the gentlemen”. Thanks to the quick-draw fly, you have quick access for those urgent bathroom trips.

Not only are the underwear super soft to the touch, but the Micro Modal fabric makes them sleek, silky, and luxurious. They FEEL like luxury underwear, and their relaxed fit is just what you need for all-day comfort under your business suit, slacks, or jeans. They’re not built for exercise or active use, but you’ll find that their 360-degree stretch design makes them perfect for a wedgie-free day.

At $34 per pair, these are definitely some of the priciest underwear on our list. However, just one day of wearing them for work or relaxation, and you’re guaranteed to fall in love with their luxurious style and feel.

Reading over all the Bluetooth speaker reviews, we’ve concluded one thing about this bad boy: you won’t get better quality sound at this price and size! JBL is known for its sound quality, and it delivers with this speaker. You get excellent lows, highs, and mids, with AMAZING volume for such a small speaker. The bass got an upgrade from the previous model, but it’s still lacking any real punch.

Connecting your Bluetooth devices to this speaker is easy, and it takes the work of but a moment. You can also plug any non-Bluetooth devices in via the AUX cord. The latest update to the Flip upgrades the battery life to 12 hours. It’s a sleek-looking, well-constructed speaker that’s easy to control for maximum audio performance.

Features: For those who listen to a wide range of music, this is the speaker for you. Thanks to the pre-established sound profiles (Acoustic, Rock, Punk, etc.), you can easily switch between music styles for the best listening experience.

Connection range is about 30 feet, but you’ll find the one-touch pairing makes it easy to connect any Bluetooth device in a few seconds. It even has a built-in speakerphone so you can make and take calls without disconnecting your phone. Best of all, the new model has waterproofing added so you can use it ocean, pool, or lakeside.

At $90, this is a very well-priced Bluetooth speaker. Considering the top-notch sound quality and easy pairing, you’ll find it’s a smart investment for those who want a speaker that will last for years to come.

Eros by Versace men’s fragrance gives you a vibrant freshness with its top notes of mint leaves, green apple, and lemon zest. Rounded out by mid to low notes of tonka beans, amber, geranium, vanilla, cedarwood, vetiver, and oakmoss.

A perfect scent for any occasion, but definitely one of the manliest on our list.

This price is for the 1.7 fluid ounce bottle, which, while not cheap, is a steal for a cologne with such great staying power. That being said, at this price, we would recommend buying more than one, because, trust us, you will not want to run out.

With the price of these gloves – and their great styling – they would make an excellent stocking stuffer for any young man, before considering their real purpose. That’s the ability to text and take pictures without having to remove these gloves.

The little grips also make it ideal for bike riding and other outdoor activities without any bulk. Made with a combination of windproof polyester and insulate cotton, these are warm and windproof – though they’re better in cool weather rather than super cold temperatures.

It is, however, important to pay attention to the sizing chart that’s available on Amazon. Most users find they fit perfectly, but they do tend to fit snuggly.

The price depends on the size you choose, but they’ll only cost you between $14-16, which is superb.

Few teens are interested in collecting CDs (though a few are happy enough with their record collections); it’s much easier to create the ultimate playlist with Spotify. The trouble is that you can’t take those tracks with you anywhere. Or, at least you couldn’t until the Mighty came around.

This slick little gadget comes in 3 colors (black, white, and orange) and easily clips onto a pocket of your pants or in a bag or backpack. Not only does it connect to Spotify premium accounts, it’s possible to store multiple playlists with over 1,000 songs.

It does require a charge, which holds for up to 5 hours of playtime. Music can be played through bluetooth-connected speakers and headphones – as well as through wired connections. Basically, it’s what any music-loving teen wants.

It’s $86 per Mighty and that includes shipping. Of course, you’ll also need to pay $10 a month for a Spotify Premium account, but he probably has one of those anyhow.

If your teenager loves the total control offered by Alexa, he’ll dig this Fire TV Cube. It’s essentially an Alexa box designed specifically for your TV, allowing him to change the channel, raise the volume, and control the TV all with just his voice. Add to that 500,000 movies and TV shows from all his favorite channels—including Netflix, Hulu, HBO, NBC, and more—and you’ve got a winner on your hands.

The Fire TV Cube delivers 4K Ultra HD resolution and Atmos Dolby digital sound as good as any surround sound speaker system. The voice control (through Alexa) is highly sensitive and will pick up his voice from anywhere in the room. The far-field voice recognition, beamforming technology, and eight built-in microphones ensure that no matter what commands he gives, the TV will pick them up and respond accordingly. It’s also compatible with all your smart home devices—thermostat, lights, etc.—so he’ll be able to control everything in one box.

At $120 for this smart home gadget, he’s getting an amazing device that will do everything he wants and more!

Anyone who loves gaming wants this machine – teen boy or not. And, it’s easy to understand why; this system gets a lot of things right. It’s sort of like a turbo-charged PS4 console; it comes with superior graphics and speeds, plus plenty of data storage for all those games he’s in the middle of.

If that wasn’t enough, it features 4K streaming and 4K auto-upscaling for video content, it connects easily to the community, and works with all PS4 games. And, you’ve got the option of adding on all those VR goodies if you like.

As the shopper for your teen guy, you’ll appreciate the theft protection included with every devide. And, there are also 3 and 4-year protection plans available. If you can afford this console, you know he wants it.

Okay, it’s pricey at $400, but it’s worth every penny if you have a gamer in the house. It’s the sort of machine that would woo even the non-gamers in the house.

It doesn’t matter whether your teenager oversleeps or not, this is a super rad gift for any teen. From the excitable 13-year-old to the (sometimes more despondent) 19-year-old away at college. The projection feature broadcasts the time onto the walls or ceiling with 180º. There are dual alarms, automatic time setting, and (perhaps best of all), an auto switch to daylight savings. Plus, you can play tunes through the speaker, albeit with an aux cable.

Not sure he’ll dig this? How about a groovy eye mask to stuff into his stocking? Or, perhaps he’ll head to bed at a more reasonable hour with these pillow speakers. We kind of love them all.

$30 may seem pricey for an alarm clock, but we promise you’re teen will love it as much as we do.

C’mon. What guy – young or old – doesn’t want a Foosball table? The answer is that they all do. These are such a great source of fun for small groups, especially teen boys. And this particular table is sturdy enough to handle rough play while remaining compact enough to fit into smaller rooms – and to move around when the occasion calls for it.

Now, it’s not 100% perfect, balls that fly into the goalie hole do tend to soar out of the bottom, and you may need to finagle something to keep that from disturbing super active play. But, you’re hardly going to find another foosball table of this quality for this price. If he’s always entertaining the guys, this is a definite score.

The MRSP is just over $160 and even that is a decent price. But, you can find this on Amazon for roughly $100, which means you can splash out on the expert assembly (to save you the time and energy) or the 2-year accident protection plan.

This card game is super addictive and a whole lot of fun. And, it’s almost all you need for a night of phone-free fun. The other bit you need is people; this really needs 8 people to work. But, as soon as you have everyone gathered, you can bet they’ll soon be addicted to this game.

Players are dealt cards and everyone works with or against each other in each separate round.

The cards are minimalistic and gorgeous – and they make it easy to understand how to play. While the price is a little on the high side (considering you can actually play this with scraps of paper), you’re getting good quality.

At $13, you’re getting an amazing gift, though it may feel a little much for a pack of cards.

This 55-inch TV comes with the 4K Ultra high-definition resolution that your teenage son will want to play video games or watch TV or movies in their bedroom. It’s a huge screen with a 3180 x 2160 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and Wi-Fi compatible, with smart functions that make it an incredibly versatile entertainment unit.

The TV is paired with a Roku TV stick, which offers access to 4,000+ channels and hundreds of thousands of movies and TV shows. Your teenager will always be able to find the entertainment that suits their needs, all from the one TV. Thanks to the user-friendly interface and easy-to-use remote, they’ll have no trouble surfing through the smart TV’s options for their ideal entertainment.

It’s not without a few issues: dead pixels, a highly sensitive screen, a narrow viewing angle, and poor customer service should you have problems. However, given the value and size of the TV for the price tag, it can’t be beat!

This 55-inch TV will run you just $400—way less than you’d pay for any competing TV. Plus, you get the Roku TV integrated, saving you $10 a month on Netflix and all your other TV/cable services. Definitely a Christmas steal!

This is an amazing portable charger that holds an almost unbelievable 16750mAh of power and continues to hold it for a long, long time.

A single charge can recharge your iPhone over 7 times (Samsungs over 3 times) – and it does so quite quickly. That means your teen will never be able to use the dead battery excuse again – especially as it can charge 2 devices at once.

If you’re going to buy one portable battery, it probably should be this one – users love just how reliable it is for years and years of use.

At $30, this is exceptionally priced given its strength, speed, and resilience.

These headphones are tiny: less than 1 inch long and ½ inch wide. They’re designed to be super easily concealed beneath your hair, hat, or hoodie, so you can listen to music on the sly. Despite their small size, they deliver excellent noise isolation and surprisingly good sound quality. If you want to avoid heavy headphones or anything with wires that could get tangled, these are a great choice.

Audio quality on these headphones is excellent, with rich, dynamic sound—suitable for audiobooks, movies, TV shows, and music. The volume is loud enough that you can hear everything clearly, and the design helps to isolate noise to ensure solid sound clarity.

Battery life on these headphones is surprisingly good—up to 6 hours of audio playtime, which is as much as twice what you get from other competing products. Charging the headphones (via USB-powered magnetic inductive charger) takes just half an hour. The range claims to be just 33 feet, but you can get up to 60 feet before the connection starts to waver.

These headphones are designed to connect to two mobile devices at once, allowing you to answer calls while enjoying your music or TV shows. They’re suitable for hands-free driving, though the operation (using the buttons on the headphones) can be a tad tricky to learn.

At $26, these headphones are a steal! They’re cheaper than competing products, have a longer lifespan, and comparable audio quality and noise isolation. Definitely a good choice if you want something lightweight and compact!

This is one of the coolest ways to inspire any musician. Which teenage guitarist doesn’t dream of cutting picks from the hotel key cards he gathers while travelling the world?

Inside the package you’ll find the Pick-a-Palooza (the gadget), a leather pick holder (which can manage 10 picks and hook onto keys), and 15 starter strips. There’s also a little info which will likely be tossed away with the wrapping paper.

If the teenager in your life is desperate to learn guitar, you could start with this Black Acoustic Guitar Starter Package. And, it’s difficult to go wrong with a good game of Guitar Hero.

A high quality product with a stainless steel blade, and for that we’re in love with the price. (Aren’t you?)

If your teen is off to college or his first apartment, he’s going to need a decent set of tools. And, this is the one to get; it’s got everything he needs for common repair jobs and a good variety of screwdriver options.

It all fits into a compact case with handle, making it easy to store and tote from room to room. Users enjoy the high-quality tools more than the case, however. It’s sturdy enough to hold everything, but some pieces are difficult to push into place while others are a little loose.

That said, you’re not going to find anything close to the value of this kit for this price and it’s definitely worth it for the teen whose about to venture out on his own.

You’ll pay less than $40 for this kit – or you can pay $46 and get a kit with a wrench.

These headphones are designed like any other pair of earbuds or in ear headphones. They have a 12 mm driver for powerful bass and you can control your playback from your smartphone through the inline control. The silicone tip is meant to create suction to hold them in place, which of course means that they fall out if you move around or sweat too much. They’re not the most comfortable, especially if you’re doing exercise. Wear them too long, and they can irritate your ears (normal with earbuds). However, they’re perfect for sedentary indoor activities like gaming, movie watching, and listening to music.

When it comes to bass, nothing beats these bad boys! With high-efficiency 9mm drivers built into ear earbud, you get booming bass no matter what you’re listening to. And yet, the bass doesn’t drown out the mids and highs. While the overall sound quality is average, the bass on these earbuds is superior to even the higher-priced brands (Beats, SkullCandy, etc.).

They’re water- and sweat-proof, so you can use them for exercise or outdoor activities. They’re about as durable as any other $30 pair of earbuds. Noise cancellation on these headphones is also average. You can use the larger silicone tip to block out all ambient noise, or use the small ones to let in background sounds if you’re out and about.

The headphones come with a multi-button control, allowing you to play, pause, rewind, and skip your music. No volume control, though. The built-in microphone makes it easy to take and receive calls, though it’s not too sensitive.

For the price (under $30), these headphones are an excellent choice for gamers, DJs, or anyone who listens to bass-heavy music and sounds.

Everyone wants the teenage guys in their lives to be the very best they can be and this is the sort of guide that makes this totally possible. There are 100 different scenarios that just about every guy will face some day. That includes finding a stud in the wall, how to tie a tie, and how to ask for a reference. As you can imagine, it’s totally useful.

Best of all, the price is right! But, if you’re going this route, there are a few other books you may want to throw into the mix. We recommend 97 Things to Do Before You Finish High School and The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens: 8 Steps to Having More Money Than Your Parents Ever Dreamed Of. That last one sounds good, doesn’t it?

You get a whole lot of product for a very affordable price. This adapter kit transforms older cars without Bluetooth or reliable aux cable inputs.

It’s totally possible to access music collections (even from drives rather than phones) as well as the radio and phone calls. The sound is crisp and clear until you start pushing into the higher decibels, though some users do need to fiddle around a little to get the bass balance correct.

We’re also fans of the customer service of the seller. Whenever there has been a problem (which is inevitable given the type of product and the price point), the company is quick to reach out with replacement units – so you can rest assured this is money well spent.

There’s no other way to so completely transform an older car for $20 or less. This is totally worth it.

Whether you’re shopping for a teenager that can’t stop building and creating – or one that’s hoping to pursue engineering as a career, you can’t go wrong with this gift.

This is a complete starter set that receives rave reviews from engineers and programmers – and enough projects to keep anyone busy for quite some time. Plus it’s a terrific learning experience for anyone.

If the young man that you’re shopping for already has some experience in this field, it’s worth reading the comments to see which add-on bits will be most useful for which types of projects (a lot of reviewers are explicit in what’s needed).

All in, this is an amazing kit and totally worth the price you’ll pay.

It’s $45 for the basic kit, though you can splurge another $10 to get the same kit with LCD displays.

This is one of the funniest gifts you can give a kid with a sense of humor (at least without moving into the realm of private bodily parts and their functions.

There are a couple of color options available – all within the same price range. And, the beard is detachable (for those moments when it’s just not appropriate).

It’s very comfortable and warm, though there are a few buyers who have received some variation and aren’t 100% happy with the sizing (most, however, are happy).

Depending on the color option you choose, you’ll pay between $25-35 for a single cap with detachable beard. It’s a little on the high side, but totally worth it when it’s both useful and hysterical.

This is fun for everyone that picks it up, young and old; and any teen is going to have a great time playing with it, but especially those with a creative flair. And, you don’t need to do a whole lot to get going.

It’s super easy to get started and you won’t need to get involved at all; though it’s possible for the filaments to become stuck (it’s easy to fix).

It’s definitely one of the most affordable options for toys of this sort. But, you will need to spend a little more on the 3mm filaments.

Making professional looking designs takes some practice, so you should get yourself a few replacement packs from the start. Especially because it seems that it’s only shipped with 25 strands instead of the 50 that are advertised. But, all in, this is an amazing gift and super fun.

The MSRP is $100, but you will find it for less than $85 and that makes this totally worth it as you’ll be able to pick up replacement filaments in the same shipment.

Teen boys spend plenty of time grooming themselves (they just tend to take up less space and do it more discreetly than teen girls) and a Birchbox subscription is just the way to spoil young men on a quest for the best products and image.

Plus, as a subscription box, this is one of those gifts that keep on giving – month after month – and at a reasonable price. Each box costs $10 and, as a gift, you can select between 3, 6, or 12 months worth of products.

Users love the variety – and that products are tailored to their skin and hair concerns. If you want to just go for a regular subscription, it’s possible to upgrade the box to include an additional full-size product in addition to the 5 samples found in each box.  

At $10 per box, and with plenty of goodies tucked into every one, you can bet this is real value for money.

This game is super fun. No, really; you’ll quickly become addicted to the joys it presents to teenagers, their family, and their friends. Now, we realize it’s more of a summer game, though you could get away with it in the garage or a large rec room during winter. Most importantly, this two-on-two game is a great way to stay in shape. You’ll get the Slammo target, two 9cm competition balls, one 12cm training ball, a carrying case, and the rules.

Need something more than a summer game? How about Risk for younger teens (who are convinced they can rule the world). For your older teens, you might want to consider Cards Against Humanity. It’s a little on the mature side, so make sure you read up on some of the questions and answers before ordering for your kids.

We think that under $40 is a totally reasonable price to pay for a game that will provide your teen hours of entertainment and physical activity. Plus, the company offers a 100 percent lifetime guarantee – and they mean it.

This has to be one of the best backpacks you can get. For a start, the minimal design is beloved by just about everyone that sees it. But, that’s really just the beginning.

This anti-theft backpack has hidden zippers and pockets so it’s almost impossible to grab something out of the bag without the wearer knowing it. And there are plenty of useful pockets (including the side and back pockets) that users rave about.

There are 2 sizes and colors available, but you’ll find there’s a lot of room on the inside no matter which one you choose.

Inside, there is a padded laptop sleeve and the bag opens to 180º, which makes it an excellent option for travelling. For day-to-day use, the padded, ergonomic shoulder straps are super comfortable and easy to wear. On top of all of this, the bag is water resistant – except for the tiny headphone hole.

The MSRP is $90, but you should be able to pick this up on Amazon for about half that price. Considering the sleek design and the quality materials that go into this backpack, you just can’t go wrong – especially for someone that’s often on the move.
