2022 Christmas Gift Guide – Best Gifts for Boys

So here is our list of gifts for boys, yes only boys.  As you notice we do not have a gift guide for girls.  Well, we have one for moms but not daughters.  I have two boys and have no idea what to buy a girl so a gift guide for girls would not make sense.  Heck, I can’t even figure out what my wife wants, so imagine trying to put together a list for girls.  This list has a wide variety of options from toddlers and up to teens.

*Note from the Editor: I’m a woman. I would have loved almost all of these when I was growing up. The author is obviously and admittedly girl-clueless.

1Dart Board

Name – EastPoint Sports Bristle Dartboard and Cabinet Sets
Price – $62.83
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – What better gift to give boys than one with sharp objects?  Dartboards are fun, we have a cheap one in our basement and use it more than I thought.  Once my kids improve their accuracy and do not try to throw darts with their eyes closed, I might pick this one up.

 

2Glow in the Dark Football

Name – GlowCity Glow in the Dark Football
Price – $29.99
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – This is more of a rubber football, but it’s always fun to throw at night.  It’s a Junior size 6 inches, and comes with preinstalled batteries. A little overpriced for my taste but my kids love it, so I guess it’s worth $30.

 

3Jump Rope

Name – Jump Rope, Tangle-Free Rapid Speed Jumping Rope
Price – $8.99
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – We all hear about kids needing to get in shape.  A jump rope is a great way for your kids to get in shape and have a little fun with some good old fashion competition, oh wait I am not sure if we can have competition anymore as someone’s feelings might get hurt.

 

4Legos

Name – Lego Building Blocks
Price – Varies
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – Our cell phones and technology rule our lives.  This shift to technology can really take away a child’s imagination.  Logos are not only great fun, but kids will spend hours being creative.

 

5Basketball Hoop

Name – Franklin Sports Over The Door Basketball Hoop
Price – $30.87
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – We all had one growing up and they are the best toy to have, especially when I was grounded and sent to my room.  We bought our boys this and they love it.  As a parent, not so much because when they open the door, the rim just hits the drywall and marks it up.

 

6Water Balls

Name – The Ultimate Skip Ball
Price – $15.99
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – If your boys love water, these toys are great for fun in the water.  Anytime we go to the pool or lake, we take these with us and they have so much fun throwing and skipping these around.

 

7Virtual Reality

Name – Meta Quest 2
Price – $399
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – I have to admit, this is very cool.  We don’t get as much use as we should, in fact, they only use it for baseball and a couple of shooting games.  For virtual reality, this system is awesome.  They could do so much more with this so hopefully, the platform will continue to grow.

 

8Nerf Targets

Name – USA Toyz Astroshot Zero GX Glow in The Dark Shooting Games
Price – $29.00
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – Shooting targets, what boy doesn’t love this activity?  Instead of hanging out on the phone, get them moving and have some fun trying to peg off flying balls.

 

9Night Light

Name – Night Lights for Kids
Price – $14.99
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – This looks like a pretty cool nightlight. You can change the projection images. It contains five Optional Films, including happy birthday, magical planet, starry star, constellation, and undersea world. And has six lighting effects, including warm white, blue, yellow, sequential, slow fade, and combination. My boys had a similar one and wanted it on every night.

 

10Drum Set

Name – Mendini By Cecilio Kids Drum Set
Price – $199.99
Buy Now – Amazon
Description – This is the perfect gift, not for your kids but for a family you want to pay back.  Get this drum kit and sit back and let the good times roll.  I couldn’t even imagine having these in my house.  I would go crazy.  But it is the perfect gift for your nieces or nephews.
