Teenage boys are not always easy to buy gifts for. I know because I have one and he sometimes shrugs when I ask what he wants for Christmas.
If he does tell me, it’s sometimes something way too out of our budget while also buying gifts for others.
Finding affordable gifts that a teenage boy might like and use can lead to an extensive search online and you don’t have time for that so I have done the search for you. Granted, I only have ten suggestions for you today, but there are other bloggers doing the same out there on the interwebs so don’t be afraid to search a couple places for these ideas.

1. Night Light Bluetooth Speaker, Bedside Lamp with White Noise Sound Machine, 16 Soothing Sound, Alarm Clock
This is something that I actually have added to my list for my teenager. I have not used it but it looks like a great idea.



|| Night Light Bluetooth Speaker, Bedside Lamp||
This is a combination lamp, Bluetooth speaker, white noise machine, and alarm clock.
My son sometimes goes through periods of insomnia and I think it would be great for him to have this white noise to drown out some noise and also the alarm clock to get himself moving in the morning, which he does fairly well on his own.
I don’t know if the idea of big blue light shining at night would be a great idea since it might keep some awake but I’m sure there is a way to turn it off.
2. Mini Drone with Camera,
Here is another fun idea. We did buy my son one like this one year for Christmas, but we never really got it to work well so I would love to look at this particular one for him.

The D70 drone comes with a camera (720P HD FPV) and is foldable. It has a headless mode, altitude hold, gesture selfie, and speed switch. It can fly 22 minutes with a control range of up to 130 feet.
Because it is foldable it is also easily portable.
3. Flipslide Game – Electronic Handheld Game
The seller says this is an addictive multiplayer puzzle game of skill with four thrilling game modes. Is it? I don’t know but it does look fun.
Sure it isn’t a Play Station 5 but it might be something fun your teenager can take with them on a car ride to entertain themselves.
4 . TOSY Flying Disc
Parents today often think their children need to get out and touch grass more and this is a great way to do it. Back in my day (yes, I am old enough to be able to say that now) we had frisbees and they were fun enough but these are frisbees that light up. That’s pretty cool if you ask me.
The TOSY flying disc has 15 Million Color RBG or 360 LEDS and several smart modes and is rechargeable. If nothing else, you won’t lose your teens if they go out in a dark field to play together.


5. Medieval Crusader Sword with Scabbard.
|| Medieval Crusader Sword with Scabbard||
Yes. I am suggesting a sword for your teenage boy.
I know. But hear me out.
Many boys like the idea of owning a sword and this one is for collection only. It has a dull edge and is for cosplay (for all you old folks, that is along the lines of dressing up.
In other words, they can’t harm themselves or anyone else with this sword but it will look cool on their wall.
6. Stanley Ice Flow Stainless Steel Tumbler with Straw, Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle
This is another item I’d love and this could be purchased for a girl or a boy, or a man or a woman (or a mom named Lisa. Ahem.)
There are a variety of colors and from what I understand Stanley products keep beverages very cold for a very long time which means your teenager could have this next to them during a video game marathon. They also have tumblers for warm beverages.
7. Funny Gaming Shirts
There are many options for funny gaming shirts online but here are three I found that I know my video game playing son would find funny. He did mention to me that you have to be careful that these aren’t designs that aren’t stolen from artists online so just be cautious.

8. Crave Box Snack Box
What teenager doesn’t love to have some snacks on hand any time of the day or night?
No, these aren’t the healthiest snacks but they would be nice for a once-in-awhile treat. There are 50 packages of a variety different snacks inside this kit.

9. MACHLAB Men’s Pullover Winter Workout Fleece Hoodie Jackets Full Zip Wool Warm Thick Coats
This is not only a warm coat but looks like a stylish one to wear anywhere.
10. PRINCE OF SLEEP Fleece Robes for Boys
I don’t know about your kid but my teenage son likes to sleep and he also likes to hang out in his pajamas when he has time so this one is a great idea and it comes in several different colors.

My grandson is 13…how did that happen…and is telling everyone he doesn’t want any Christmas gifts this year. He runs very warm so the robe (which I’d love) and the coat are out. But, that Frisbee is an idea. Thanks for the ideas, Lisa!

Yeah – my son always says he has all he wants but then he says, “except a sword.” He’s been asking for that thing for three or four years.
