This toy is more suited for younger boys, around the ages of six to twelve years old. This is a memory and brain activity that is cleverly disguised as a toy. It can do wonders for keeping the brain busy and help hand-eye coordination, yet has a lot of possibilities for fun. It is a simple game to learn but can be incredibly hard to beat the cube. As a gift, it is a combination of educational exercise and a toy, and the game part is interesting enough to make it a fun activity alone, with four different games that can be played with the device.

However, sometimes they have to share, and there becomes an issue of privacy or just pure practicality when one person wants the light on so they can read and the other wants to sleep. This bed tent is a great solution for both privacy and light avoidance. This is a perfect gift for a boy who is wanting some space of his own, or for someone with a sibling that has a different body clock. Make a cozy den where he can relax and enjoy.
Sony PlayStation VR
Gaming has come a long way since the days when we marveled at playing tennis with two paddles that moved up and down. Kids these days expect super-realism and the latest technology that expands gaming is VR (Virtual Reality). If you have a boy in your family who is all about cool stuff, this is the next level for them. A gift of a Sony PlayStation VR is the kind of gift that in the view of the average teen boy is life-changing. Buying your son this technology shows an awareness of the world/culture within which he lives. VR redefines what it feels like to play on PlayStation.
Bloxels Build Your Own Video Games
For younger boys who still have a love of games, an excellent gift is the Bloxels game creator. With Bloxels children can build their own characters using the board and then photograph it using the Bloxels app, to place the character into an online game. It can also be used to create the environment. Many parents will feel totally lost but believe me, young boys have an instinctive feel for how this works. This is creative and an early introduction to games design. When using Bloxels, a boy gets his game published in the arcade: it is quite an achievement for them.

Hand Crafted Raintree Wood Puzzle
This is retro stuff that will be appreciated by older “boys” who care about the environment and fair trade. It’s a throwback to the kind of things that come from an earlier simpler age before toys became high-tech. Actually, it should be regarded more as a work of art built by a true craftsman than a toy, but then, place a young boy who has only known electronics, in front of a collection of toys like this, and maybe they might catch a glimpse of how things were and appreciate these handmade crafted simple puzzles.
WowWee Untamed Dragon
These collectible finger puppets that when played within a certain mode have an LED light-up mouth that glows. The puppets respond to the child’s touch. If the boy taps them on a nose they will react in a certain way, different from how they respond to other touches. These toys would be suitable for children over 5 and under 13. They are actually more interesting to watch than you might suspect. It’s a gift that may result in the child wanting other fingerlings from the series as they are encouraged to collect them. Unleash the boys’ creativity, this toy does more than just sit around and look adorable.
3Doodler Start Essentials
You will have heard of 3D Printers, well the 3Doodler is 3D sketching, using a special pen that extrudes a similar filament as is used in the big 3D printers. The whole thing has been made safe and children are able to create 3D objects freehand or use templates to create 3D items, like glasses. This would be both a toy for boys and girls, although I can see them using it differently. Any boy over 6 that received this gift would be thrilled and would have immense fun playing with it. There is an app available that displays various templates on a mobile phone and children can draw on the screen of the phone to make the objects.
Gskyer Telescope
People’s thoughts about space exploration are never far away, and this is something that boys would enjoy learning about. It is a starter telescope kit that will even hook up to a mobile phone. We are including this in this list of boy’s gifts, but it would also be equally suitable for girls who have an interest in the night sky. It is suitable for a wide range of age groups and boys between four and seventeen have enjoyed using it. I would guess that even a few adult “boys” would enjoy this telescope as well. Once again, this is a gift that makes learning fun, which should be encouraged.
For Boys Only
And whilst other gifts could equally be fine for girls, this one is clearly just for boys – just as the cover says. This book is the biggest, baddest, book ever. Someone has created a compendium of items that will appeal to boys, to create this excellent gift. It’s described as being suitable for boys between the ages of 8 to 11 years. Quite frankly, anything that comes with a lot of fun and encourages boys to read should be applauded. The book has a variety of subjects that all are geared to the mindset of boys, monsters, treasures, disasters, tricks, weapons, and Lamborghinis.
Boosted Mini X Electric Skateboard
This electric skateboard is an amazing piece of kit and can travel up to 20 mph and take you for 14 miles. You can imagine that any teenage boy would love to get his hands on one of these. All the benefits of a skateboard in terms of size, yet the speed and ease of motorized transport. This is no toy; it is a serious form of transport that is going to give a teenage boy under driving age the ability to be mobile. Absolutely one of the best items we found on Amazon when looking for boys’ gifts.
Fatboy Original Bean Bag Chair
The Fatboy bean bag rocking chair is a cool chair that would enhance any teen boy’s bedroom, great for sitting with a friend to watch Netflix or even for gaming. It has so many uses and would be a comfortable place for any young man to chill out when they get home. Too old for kids, teen boys are at an age where they start turning towards owning cool technology and status-filled stuff. The iconic Fatboy beanbag is ageless and different enough to be regarded as cool by these boys. If your son is a boy who is trying to turn his room into a cool refuge that is personalized to his tastes, then this is not a bad place to start.
Nostalgia Diner-Style Steamer
Another great gift for older boys who want a little independence and to host their friends is the extra-large diner-style hotdog steamer. Boys getting together to watch the big match would be greatly impressed with their own hot dog steamer, so they can serve food during the big game. In fact, this is a great gift for the whole family that will be used regularly or informal catering when people get together. It’s practical with a lot of uses and is so easy to use. Just add some water and set the heat to warm or hot, and that is it. It will even keep 12 buns warm.
Rc Tanks
Now radio control tanks are a different sort of gift, aimed at younger kids who are still interested in playing. Giving a boy control of one of these authentic-looking RC tanks. This appealing toy is perfect for boys around 6 years of age. It’s the kind of toy where if another child has one as well, it doubles the fun. Other models are available as the American tank. Boys at the age of six have vivid imaginations and toys are always welcome, especially toys that they can control and let their imagination run free. It provides hours of entertainment, thanks to the sounds, lights, swiveling turrets, gun barrels that move up and down, and some recoil when the loud gun fires.
Kindle Oasis Essentials Bundle
Back to older boys again and a gift that is going to help encourage good reading habits. The Kindle allows users to take a whole library of books and carry it in the palm of their hand. Having digital books available is a great encouragement to read more, something that will benefit the boy in the future as he grows older. There are a wide variety of books in the Kindle library that will appeal to boys and having their own Kindle device makes it possible to build a library of regular audiobooks to use with the device.
Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard
Young people spend incredible amounts of time online and an ergonomic keyboard can make that time so much more comfortable, especially when studying and writing essays. If your boy, or girl, is now at an age where they are getting more work to do at home online, then this is a sound investment and will be a welcome gift. Apart from the fact that using an ergonomic keyboard is a healthier option, they also tend to look really cool on a desktop. If he already has an advanced computer, the ergonomic keyboard is the final item for his setup.
