Boys are so much harder to shop for, than girls. I feel like the preteen age is the hardest of all. They are too young for some things, but too old for toys.
Here’s a list of items I have on Maddox’s list (and some he already owns).
Hope it helps you shop for your guy.
Nike Socks– These are more of a necessity, but we like to make it a gift too.
Triominos – This is such a fun game for the whole family. It’s not too hard to learn and all you need is two players to play.
Gabb Phone – If you need a safe way to get in touch with your kiddo WITHOUT worrying about them getting social media or explicit content? This is the device for you! Use code MANDI for 50% off
Nintendo Switch – This is a cool limited edition. Don’t forget, you can set usage limits in the parent app.
Sunglasses – These sporty sunglasses are all the rage with my son’s buddies. And these are at a great price point.
Beanie– A must during the cold winter months.
Slides – These cloud slides are super comfy, it would make a great house shoe.
Spikeball – Our neighbors have this set and it is so fun! The kids can literally play for hours.
Nightlight Projector – My son loves his astronaut so much that we ended up getting one for my daughter. It makes the coolest peaceful atmosphere.
I Survived Book Set – This is one of the most read graphic novels in our school library and in our house. The collection would make a great gift for any kiddo ages 7-13.
Nike Sweatpants – A staple in any boys closet.
Jordan’s -Watch your boy light up when he opens these!
