How to Choose Unique Stocking Stuffers for Tween Boys

  • What is his personality? Considering your boy’s personality can help you decide which gifts he might like best. Is he one who is concerned with his looks? Maybe some hair gel or body spray would be good. Is he a comedian? If so, go for a funny shirt or game.
  • How does he learn best? At this age, boys’ brains are still absorbing so much. Gifts that inspire learning are great, but his best mode of learning would be good to consider. If he is a tactile learner, he might enjoy slime or putty. A visual learner might like a book. An auditory learner could benefit from an MP3 player.
  • What are his interests? Choosing a couple items that go along with his interests is sure to make him happy, but your 10-year-old might also like to branch out to something new and exciting. If your boy likes riding his bike, maybe he would enjoy putting an action camera on it to capture all his tricks!
  • What do his friends have or like doing? If your boy’s friends have the latest and greatest item, he might enjoy those same items or similar ones. Or maybe you are looking for some good social activities he can experience with friends. Something like a Nerf gun can be loads of fun for kids to play in groups.
