ALT-3 Gift Ideas for 13 16 Year old Boys
A young teenage boy who is between 13-16 years old may like one thing one day and move on to something totally different the next day. Thus it can be difficult to find that perfect gift. Consider the following ideas.
Sporting experience
If your boy is into sports, then you can take him to a professional game for his present. Try to get some good seats to the team of his choice. You can let him splurge on food and souvenirs. This gift will not clutter up his room, but will give him great memories.
Even if you do not want to take him to a sports game, this theme can still be perfect for your gift. You can get him a t-shirt, hat, jacket or replica jersey with the name and logo of his favorite professional sports team. He may enjoy some sports memorabilia like an autographed baseball. He may like something that he can use to play sports himself such as a basketball hoop.
Music CD/downloads
Does the boy enjoy listening to music? If he does, then he may enjoy a CD by an artist he likes. You can also pay to download some music to an MP3 player.
If you have a larger budget, then you can get him a music player. It may be a stereo system for his bedroom. Alternatively, a portable music player like an MP3 player may be the most appreciated. The IPod is a popular brand. They have many different types of music players, some with video.
Gift card
You may be worried that a gift card will not show enough effort on your part. For a 13-16 year old boy, however, this may be the perfect gift. Most boys this age either do not work or have low paying part time jobs. Of course they want a lot of things. Giving them spending power in the form of a gift card may be the most appreciated gift of all. Of course, cold hard cash can never be a wrong move either. This can be useful for a boy that is saving up for something big.
There are many great gifts to consider for a boy that is between 13-16 year old. If you really have no idea, then ask him if he has a wish list on a website such as www.amazon.com or if he would like to pick out exactly what he wants.
