Cool Christmas gifts for boys

As a boy mom, I totally get how hard these boys can be to buy for. Their tastes change as often as they change their socks (yes I know this isn’t always daily!)

But there are a few gift ideas that never really change, they still love playing board games, and they will probably always love video games, and sports if you are lucky, or not!

These are the top 10 boy gifts that ALL boys no matter what their current interests will love.

They are all suitable for boys of all ages too, there is one I have added a slightly older gift idea for, but on the whole, they will be great no matter their age.

Exploding Kittens

This is my son's favorite game at the minute, and every time his mates come to the house they all ask to play it (at least 3 times a week currently!). For reference, my son is 13.

This game is perfect for kids aged 7 and above and great for 2-5 players.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (Nintendo Switch)

Video games are nearly always the most asked for gift, and this Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is an excellent gift for younger boys, boys who love Lego, or Star Wars, or both!

You can't really go wrong with this gift for boys of any age. Just make sure you get it for the right console!

Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue

A Switch is the perfect gaming console for both younger and older kids. They can take it anywhere with them, and this lite version is the best.

If they already have a switch why not treat them to a new carry case so they can take it with them when they go in the car or travel?

NERF Disruptor Elite Blaster

Who doesn't love a Nerf gun? (well actually I hate them, but my son has asked for a new one every year since he was about 4!)

Older kids might prefer this Orby, I know this as my 13 year old son has asked for one this year!

Razor Kick Scooter

I am not sure when the scooter became the most popular mode of transport for boys (and in fact young men) but I know it is. Every boy in our neighborhood either has one or is asking for a new one!

Fidget Cover Case

Whoever invented the fidget pop-it toy (I wonder if it was the creator of the bubble wrap!) must be incredibly rich! This new phone case pop-it is an excellent gift for boys this Christmas.

Fire HD 10 tablet

Treat the kids to a new tablet this year, I think it does everything an IPad can do, just significantly cheaper!

They of course also have the kid's fire tablet for younger boys.

LEGO DC Batman

It amazes me that no matter how old my son gets, his first thought for a Christmas gift is always a Lego set.

Although now it is super expensive as he tends to only build the challenging Lego sets.

Indoor Basketball Hoop

This indoor basketball hoop is perfect, especially for boys with ADHD, trust me, I know! This hangs nicely over their bedroom door and counts how many hoops they make.

Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)

Last but not least, if your son does not have these Harry Potter books, this is a must have gift. No matter how old or young (well over the age of 7) boys will love these books, even if they are not your "typical" book lover.
