The 75 Best Gifts for Teen Boys in 2023

Slow down, we’re not encouraging breaking and entering. Instead, consider this more of a brain teaser that teaches teens to get out of binds when the going gets touch. And if your teen wants to be a magician, well, all the better as this kit is made for the trade.

GoKarts aren’t just for the amusement park, they’re for home entertainment too. Better, they’re safer than real cars and can educate on driving skills and safety. This one has a range of 20-some miles and can go almost 16mph.

Does he love to ball? Improve his skillset with this smart basketball, which crunches the numbers and offers breakdowns on his shooting accuracy. It’ll improve his form and have him nailing jumpers.

Does your teen love the big screen? Bring it home—nay, anywhere—with this Kodak projector. The controller is intuitive, the projector and throw images you might expect from a movie theater, and the picture is sharp.

No, it’s not technically VR, but this controller is so amazing that it will fully immerse the user into the game. That said, it is pretty VR and a great gift for the teen gamer in your life looking to take things to the next level.

Teens have places to go, things to see. Here’s a great little commuter that requires little more than a helmet and a little balance. He can set it up with an app on his phone, travel up to 19 mph and fold it up when he’s not using it.

Lesser weather may be coming but that doesn’t mean the sporty fun has to come to an end. Bring hoops indoors with this electric over-the-door kit. It comes with balls and a pump and there’s a scoreboard that’ll keep track of all those buckets.

Here’s a digital gift for the teen who loves to jot down ideas or is constantly sketching. It’ll get him away from his phone for a spell, inspire some organization and can turn handwritten scribbles into formal text.

Here’s a great gift for the teen looking to dabble in the drone life. It’s inexpensive and sets him up ideally to dip his toes in the water. Easy to fly and outfitted with a 4K HD camera, it’ll captures some amazing footage, whether he just wants to play around outside or is an aspiring filmmaker. It’s also less than $30, so no sweat if he flies this thing into a tree at full speed on accident.

It’s tough to mess with a classic. Aerobie has excelled at flying toys for some time and this disc falls (nay, flies) right in line. It throws long and accurately, has a cushioned edge for catches and even floats in water.

Know a teen who loves the outdoors? He’ll love this compilation of 50 incredible adventure tales. It’s the work of the famed Explorers Club and dabbles in faraway settings such as Antarctica.

Camo is back and the teens know it. Here’s a great hat in that mindset, with a retro trucker feel that’ll have him not only blending in with his surroundings but fashion trends too.

Here’s a great blanket that can follow him around wherever he goes, wether that be a weekend camping trip or picnic at the park with pals. One side is flannel and the other is polyester, so he can pick what he’s feeling up for.

A good flashlight makes for a great gift. He’ll love the strength of this light-thrower, as well as the range and three different strength settings. Oh, and and it comes with five different modes, including SOS and strobe.

For the teen who likes to skateboard, snowboard, surf or wakeboard, this is a great trainer for at-home use. The balance board will keep his skills sharp even through the offseason of his favorite shredding sport.

Smart design tends to win us over. The teen in your life will appreciate it as well once he gets his hands on this multi-tool. Designed to cradle an AirTag, it also offers a keychain loop, cutter, and bottle opener.

He may be too young to know Dennis the Menace but he can partake in the same kind of youthful mischief with this slingshot. Just remind him to aim for the target, not other people.

Multitools are so multifaceted and useful we had to include another one. This option is a pen at heart, but also a box cutter, level, screwdriver, bottle opener, file, stylus and more.

Great games offers high stakes. The risk here is getting a slight shock. The reward? Triumphing over your family and friends, of course. A little like musical chairs, the quickest mind wins.

Here’s a great one for the outdoorsy teen. It’s a survival bundle he can use in the backcountry, including things like a blade, flashlight, flint scraper, waterproof box and more. Even if he’s not obsessed with the outdoors, it’ll appeal to his DIY curiosity.
