The holiday is coming and an eleven year old boy needs to prepare a gift. Of course, for parents, he always remains a baby, but the teenager’s needs are already different, the urchin has grown up and he is no longer interested in cubes and soldiers. Let's try together to figure out how to choose the right gift for a boy for 11 years, please him and make the holiday memorable.
How to choose a gift
The new generation of young people is very different from the generation of parents and their friends who were around the same age. Technological progress makes itself felt with might and main. If teenagers of the 70s and 80s knew how to press a button on the TV and could only turn on a new cassette player, then today's five-year-old children are already playing computer games with might and main on a touch tablet. Times are changing and when choosing gifts for teenage boys, you need to take into account the changing world, and, accordingly, the range of their interests and hobbies. At the same time, it must be remembered that the attention of adolescents at this age can jump sharply to the next step, and an overly specific or sophisticated gift runs the risk of being absolutely unnecessary somewhere in the attic in a month. Therefore, several options should be consideredgifts to stop at one that actually fulfills its mission in the best possible way - it will bring joy and be useful in the future.
Extreme gift
No matter how the world around us changes, teenagers remain teenagers. They are curious, mobile, love experiments and are ready to try everything new. And, of course, future men are simply attracted to extreme sports. If you feel confident enough financially and are ready to shell out a tangible amount for a birthday present for a boy, a modern bicycle will be a good surprise. It can be a model for the city, and for an unusual ride, overcoming obstacles. Also in this series you can include roller skates, skates, skateboards and jumping stilts that are rapidly becoming fashionable. The main thing is that the quality of these devices is impeccable.
Sports supplies
Almost all boys in their teens are interested in or involved in some kind of sport. If the circle of interests is clearly defined, then the solution of the problem of what gift to give to the boy is greatly simplified. They can be new boxing gloves or a home pear, a tennis racket or boots. When you intend to just start introducing a teenager to sports, a leather soccer ball, an expander, dumbbells, fins, darts, or even nunchucks are good options (in this case, it is advisable that someone knowledgeable from an adult teach the teenager the basic techniques, and first you need to study legislation). Much more harmless than nunchucks, there will be a yo-yo toy that develops dexterity and attention.
Cool gifts
What boys don't like jokes? Yes, you listen to their conversations - this is a stream of fun, jokes and mutual jokes! Be bold, use your imagination! A pen with disappearing ink, a running alarm clock (at the very least you have to get out of bed to catch it and turn it off), an original mask, a homemade telescope - these gifts for teenage boys will delight anyone! A baseball cap or T-shirt with a photo of your favorite movie character or sports idol can be a great surprise. Also, any pattern can be applied to a mug, backpack or wall clock. Binoculars, a kite, or, for example, a real globe will set fire in the eyes of the boys, they love everything new and interesting so much!
Computer and electronic "things"
Of course, the pride of any teenager is his computer. Without this attribute of life, it is already unthinkable to spend a single day. The computer is often tied, directly or indirectly, most of the conversations of teenagers. These are computer games, and films, and programs, and various "gadgets". If the hero of the occasion still does not have a computer, we are sure that this will be the best gift for an 11-year-old boy. Any computer accessories such as a highly functional mouse, a new keyboard with letters and signs illuminated in the dark, wireless headphones will also become the envy of friends, and for the owner - a reason for pride. The new rising generation alsohe will appreciate it if he gets a new mobile phone, a waterproof wrist watch or a cool audio player as a gift.
Gift of interest
Many boys at the age of eleven have serious hobbies, which, by the way, many later develop into a hobby or professional activity in adult life. It is important to support teenagers in their interests, and we know how. To give a boy a gift according to his hobby is to definitely please him and raise his authority in the eyes of the child by many points. For example, if he is fond of music, you can buy an electric guitar or an electric piano, and a ticket to a concert of your favorite artist or group will also be a great gift. If he shows interest in chess, give personal beautiful pieces, and, perhaps, a future champion will be in front of you. And if a teenager is not indifferent to painting, a new easel or a set of paints will come in handy. The main thing is that a birthday present for a boy should be in tune with his dream, and then there will be one more happy person in the world!
Money
A lot of controversy arises around whether it is possible and necessary to give money to teenagers. Our belief is that if you find it difficult to choose what gift to give to a boy for 11 years, give him money. Most boys dream of some expensive item that their parents are not able to buy, and set aside their personal savings to purchase it. Often, parents, knowing about the aspirations of their son, ask guests to donate money in order to “pool” to buy their childdream. There is nothing wrong with that. At the age of eleven, a teenager is already quite independent and able to manage his own finances. Maybe in this case you will not be able to stand out from the background of other donors, but the hero of the occasion will be truly happy and happy!
The main thing is to understand, no matter what gift you give to a boy for 11 years, a little person entering the new year of his life will not do without your attention, support and care! Love and give positive emotions to the younger generation!
