For Boys: Ages 6 - 14


1. Boys love their electronic toys. Computer games are always appreciated especially along the sports line such as football, baseball, hockey, basketball.

2. The younger boys may enjoy Lego’s or Transformers sets to build. The older boy may enjoy building robots, radios, or anything electronic.

3. Board games are always fun and cross any age line plus they encourage using your brain. Inexpensive card games such as UNO can be had for under $10. Scrabble is also making a comeback. For something special, an expensive chess or backgammon set.

4. DVD’s of their favorite movies. Boys love to relax and watch their boy themed movies. Action and comedy films are a big hit!

5. Sports themed clothing and accessories. A tee or hoodie of their favorite team or a backpack is always nice.

6. Posters for their room of their favorite sports figure or film star. A really fun item is a cardboard stand up. Years ago, our guy had a stand up of basketball star, Shaquille O’Neal in his room. You can buy from various websites on the internet. Just type in cardboard stand up on Google or any search engine or go to allposters.com or cardboardcutouts.com.

7. Any sports gear is always fun. A new football, basketball, baseball glove, or soccer ball would be appreciated. Depending on the sport they are into, buy accordingly or introduce them to a new sport.

8. A tent, fishing rod, or any camping gear for an outdoor enthusiast would be a great gift gear.

9. A nice set of headphones which can be used with their MP3 Player or their hand-held games would be especially appreciated by Mom and Dad.

10. Special Books. There is one called, “The Dangerous Book for Boys”. This is a fun, can’t put-it-down book for boys that teaches them so many things such as coin tricks, knot tying, making paper airplanes, how to tan a skin, place a splint among many serious subjects. Fun and learning in one.
