Pool-Table-Type-Games – Top Gifts for Teen Boys

As a high school teacher and parent of 15yo, 13yo, and 10yo sons, I know teens need places to hang out. What a gift an open door, a basement with a game or two thrown in it, a couple of pizzas, and friends are to our communities of young people.

Basketball/Hockey/Soccer

ESPN EZ Fold Indoor Basketball Game for 2 Players with LED Scoring and Arcade Sounds (6-Piece Set): My three sons got this as a group gift, and it’s constantly played. Plus, I like that when friends come over, it immediately gives the teens something to do. There’s just something compelling about throwing a basketball through a hoop.

Triumph Fire ‘n Ice LED Light-Up 54” Air Hockey Table Includes 2 LED Hockey Pushers and LED Puck:

Best Choice Products 10-in-1 Game Table w/Foosball, Pool, Shuffleboard, Ping Pong, Hockey, and More: Joey and Chandler build their friendship around a Foosball table. Enough said.

Pool/Darts/Bowling/Ping-Pong

RACK Leo Folding 4-Foot Billiard/Pool Table: When we moved into our home a pool table the size of Montana came with the basement. Obnoxious. Except, whenever my teen sons have friends over, it gets played. A lot. So, it stays. But, I wish it were small, like this mini pool table.

Viper Hideaway Cabinet & Steel-Tip Dartboard Ready-to-Play Bundle, Reversible Standard and Baseball Game Options with Two Sets of Steel-Tip Darts and Chalk Scoreboards, Black Matte Finish: This brings me back to my college days of Tuesday night pizza and darts. So many good memories. I also like how this folds close. If you can buy a game that hides in plain sight – you should.

Hoodies and Clothes – Top Gifts for Teen Boys

My teen boys don’t act excited about clothes, but if they are gifted a hoodie or Under Armor shirt, it’s worn forever. So there’s that. These are some safe bets that teen boys will like and wear.

Tops

Under Armour Boys Fleece Sleeveless Training Hoodie: You can’t go wrong with a basic hoodie.

Nike NFL Youth Circuit Logo Essential Performance Pullover Hoodie, Team Variation:

Champion Men’s Powerblend Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie: My sons wear their zip-up hoodies instead of coats. Even when it’s snowing. I can’t even…

Under Armour Men’s Boxed Sportstyle Short Sleeve T-shirt: My teen sons prefer cotton athletic shirts. And you can’t go wrong with Under Armor.

Under Armour Men’s UA Tech HeatGear Short Sleeve T-Shirt Tee: My teen nephew loves the polyester feel of these tighter dri-fit athletic shirts, but my teen sons prefer cotton. Whatever fabric your teen prefers, though, a new athletic t-shirt is always worn again and again.

Pants

Under Armour Men’s Sportstyle Tricot Joggers: Teen boys love their athletic wear. Grab them a pair of joggers to go with the top you just picked out.

Under Armour Men’s Tech Graphic Shorts – If you’re a Minnesotan (like my boys), you wear these shorts year-round. Sunshine or snow.

Shoes

Adidas Men’s Adilette Shower Slides: You can’t go wrong with these slider shoes. My sons go through a pair in just one summer. Because it’s so convenient to slide these shoes on, they get used repeatedly.

Nike Lebron Xvii Low Men’s Basketball Shoes: Shoes are tricky. My teens always like to pick their own, so if I were to buy this as a gift, they’d know about it beforehand. Which works too – looking through Amazon together is fun. So if you’re buying a teen in your life shoes, send them a text and ask them for their thoughts. The exchange is more fun than the purchase, and they’ll love their new kicks.

Dress clothes

Lucky Brand Men’s 410 Athletic Fit Jean: I would buy my sons’ athletic wear without asking their opinion all-the-live-long day. But, nicer clothes including jeans and shirts and shoes – nope. They have thoughts on dress clothes. So, I might start with sharing this Amazon link of these jeans and see what they say or what they share back.

Fun Hot Chocolate Items – Top Gifts for Teen Boys

My mother-in-law buys fancy hot chocolates every Christmas for my teens and they love it. They think the warm drink flavors are the best. If you don’t know the teen you are buying for well, or if you need an inexpensive gift – you can’t go wrong with food.

Drinks

Land O’ Lakes Cocoa Classics Variety Pack: This is exactly what grandma buys. Pair it with a tumbler and accessory and that’s a win.

Mexican Hot Chocolate – Artisanal with Organic Cacao Beans: Love, love, love this hot chocolate.

Bob’s Sweet Stripes Peppermint Stir Sticks: This is a fun way to add peppermint flavor to the warm drink. Make a gift set of hot chocolate, a frother, and these fun stir sticks.

Hot Chocolate Sticks: Another fun way to make a warm drink.

Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Keurig Single-Serve K Cup Pods: If you already have a Keurig or you purchase your teen a single-serve coffee maker, these chocolate pods are delicious. Use the above milk frother to add some sweetness on top and what a nice way for your teen to wake up in the morning.

Accessories

SIMPLETaste Milk Frother Handheld Battery Operated Electric Foam Maker, Drink Mixer with Stainless Steel Whisk and Stand for Cappuccino, Bulletproof Coffee , Latte: We have this tool and it works great to dip into our hot drinks and whip them forming a nice froth on the top.

Milk Frother, EZBASICS Electric Milk Steamer Stainless Steel, 8.4oz/250ml Automatic Hot and Cold Foam Maker, Milk Warmer for Coffee, Latte, Cappuccinos with Two Whisks for Frothing and Heating Milk: We also have this item. It’s great to throw milk or cream in the top and it warms as it froths. Dump the deliciousness on top of your warm drink, and your day just improved.

Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker, Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Brewer, With Iced Coffee Capability, Brushed Silver: If your teen loves warm drinks, it might be time to get him his own Keurig.

YETI Rambler 30 oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler w/MagSlider Lid, Stainless: Put together your own gift basket including hot chocolate, a frother, and this tumbler.

Fairytale Brownies Magic Morsel 24 Gourmet Chocolate Food Gift Basket – 1.5 Inch x 1.5 Inch Bite-Size Brownies – 24 Pieces: This reminds me of a food gift basket my family received that we lost our minds over. My teens were halving cookies (Try this!), passing truffles around (“No try this!”)…in busy mom life, it was a beautiful moment.

David’s Cookies – 24 Fresh Baked Assorted Cookies Gourmet Gift Basket: Trying a whole bunch of different cookies is magic.

Moodibars Chocolate Candy Variety Pack | 18 Gourmet Assorted Milk & Dark Mini Samplers: A piece of chocolate for any mood!

Chocolate/Caramel Covered

Pretzel Plate Gourmet Chocolate Covered Pretzels: For the teens who love salty and sweet.

Milk and Dark Decadence Chocolate Dipped Caramel Apples in Wooden Gift Crate: If your teen loves apples covered in chocolate, caramel, and/or nuts (check for allergies first), then this is a great gift.

Miscellaneous Items – Top Gifts for Teen Boys
