My son has wanted a Go-Pro for years, but we’ve never been excited about the price tag. This Akaso EK7000 version is affordable and rated every bit as good by users who have owned both. It comes with loads of accessories too. I’m so excited to surprise him with it this holiday!

This is the gift he has no idea how much he needs! Ideal to keep his student ID, credit card, and keys in one place, this makes keeping up with his stuff SO much easier.

Spotify is THE music choice for most teens. Every teen I know eventually begs their parents to sign up for the “free premium trial” so they can listen without ads. Cue the Spotify gift card. This gift card comes in 1-, 3-, or 6-month service options. They get ad-free music and you won’t get a credit card charge when they forget to cancel the trial!

These are on the teen most wanted list, but let’s be honest…they’re going to lose them. Thankfully, these have been rated by name-brand fans as every bit as good without breaking the bank. They come in a bunch of different colors, so you may just want to go ahead and buy that replacement pair too.

A popular game among tweens and teens.

These are the BEST sunglasses and such a great price. They were made for runners so they are light and stay on your face no matter what activity you’re doing.

I love that these pack up in a small bag. Great for camping. Comes in tons of colors.

It’s likely the teen boy you’re buying for has a favorite team. One idea is to give them some team gear.

Pretty sure every tween or teen has one of these, but ours needed an update. Lots of different colors and styles!

This Disc Golf Starter set is everything your teen needs to start playing the fastest growing sport around. It includes three discs, a bag, a towel, and a mini disc.

My son loves to have his buddies over for poker night, and this set is the perfect size for a dining room table of guys. We also use it for family game night.

If you’re an Apple product family, this is a cool and useful gift. It’s a foldable, flat charger for all iPhones, Airpods, and AppleWatches. Plus, it can be used as a stand for your phone both vertically and horizontally.

This recommendation came straight from a teenage boy! Pair it with some new running shoes and sneaker balls.

A high-energy game that can be played inside or outside.

Whip out that mixtape, because everything 80’s is back in style. These checkered Vans shoes are the must-have item at high schools around the country.

Perfect for the athlete in your home. Bonus points since it can be used by the whole family! This one is a great price point with very positive reviews. (28,000+ but who is counting.)

This little fridge holds up to 6 water bottles or 12 cans! With a car charger included for an on-the-go option, this has teen novelty gift written all over it!

Perfect for the garage (or basement), this one has been a huge hit with the teen crowd! I would also recommend an extra set of darts. Buy them here.

This is a favorite among teens. It also creates memories and guarantees some one-on-one time with him! You can ask the teenager on your list for a list of their favorite bands, theatrical events, or teams. Then browse some ticket sites like Stubhub to see what’s available.

These are a sanity saver. Great for keys, phone, or any other item he can’t seem to keep track of. Comes in a pack of 1 or 4.

These Nike Pegasus 39s are my 15-year-old son’s go-to trainers for cross country/track season, but they also work well for everyday wear if your teen isn’t a runner. Trendy, comfortable, high quality. Pair with some new Nike socks and sneaker balls.

A great speaker to play music on anywhere they go. Comes in several different colors.

These things are amazing to have on hand! Might not be the most exciting gift under the tree, but they will thank you when they leave their lights on during the school day. Safely jump start a dead battery in seconds with this compact, yet powerful, 1000-amp portable lithium car battery jump starter pack. A great thing to have in a teen’s car!

Do we even need to make a pitch for these?! Teens love them!

Don’t forget a case — so many color options available.
