Looking for gifts for teen boys can feel overwhelming, but in reality they still enjoy many of the same things they did when they were 6… the toys just have more features and cost more… This year try to think of toys that make him think, build and get outside a little.
Nikko Air Air Race Elite Stunt 115 Set
retails for $89
Nikko Air has teamed up with the Drone Racing League to create a drone perfect for learning and advancing your drone racing skills. This set offers 16 one touch stunts and 3 different speeds to be a great drone for beginners to advanced. The drone also works with the DRL simulator using the same controller to help learn how to fly on actual race courses.
Marbelocity Mini Skate Park
retails for $30
I saw this at a toy fair this year and instantly fell in love! Let them build their own working skate park model made of real wood. The Skate Park features lots of fun physics action, including a stair descent, rail slide and a jump. Once you build your skate park, you can run marbles through it! This is something that after they put it together the all wood design makes it something they could keep on their desk on display for years to come. The sets also work together, so if they love this one, next you can add to it with the other kits.
JLAB Neon Bluetooth Headphones
retails for $30
With cell phones dropping audio jacks, and kids wanting to listen to music on their own, a set of bluetooth headphones is almost a must have in today’s world. You will find these all over the board price wise, but I would recommend JLAB as a great quality headphone at a very affordable price. These headphones have 13 hours of playtime and work with any device that is within 30 feet. It also has a built in mic so they can answer phone calls if they are up for stopping the music for a moment.
