Cool Gifts for Boys Age 10 and Above

Choosing gifts for boys age 10 and above can be a very challenging task, especially since boys this age are fast developing their individual personalities. While a part of them still wants to play with their toys, a part of them already wants to be considered as a "young man". They are at this very awkward stage of their lives - not yet a teen but no longer a child. And this makes shopping for the perfect gift for boys age 10 and above quite a difficult task to accomplish.

Realizing this dilemma, I decided to search the most popular shopping sites online and take a deeper look into the world of these boys. After all, my son will soon join their ranks (he's now 9) and I'd like to know what he'll love to receive for his 10th birthday. :-)

So, what did I learn from my research? A lot! And I'll share them all with you here. Keep on reading!

So, what gifts will boys belonging to this age group appreciate? Generally, boys of all ages will love the idea of receiving these following gift items on their birthday (or for just about any other special occasion!):

1. Wireless headphones. Boys age 10 and above would surely appreciate getting new wireless headphones. Just make sure you choose one that is sweat- and water-resistant, and can last for hours on end on a single charge.
2. Digital Camera. My son loves taking pictures. And that gave me an idea. What if I give him his very own digital camera for his 10th birthday? Well, you guessed it right! This is one gift every preteen boy or girl will surely treasure!
3. His own laptop or tablet! Can anything else top that? :-)

   With all that school works piling up, every young boy will surely need to have one for his dedicated use. Now, don't go splurging in this one. After all, it's just his first laptop, and perhaps he wouldn't need all those advanced features (although he thinks he absolutely needs them). Go for inexpensive ones that provide all the basics, along with some nice extras.
