This fun game comes with a risk that he and his friends will love — the slowest player to react gets a little electric shock!

Stock his closet with some super-warm hoodies, because you know he's not wearing a winter coat. This one comes in 14 colors and has a cozy sherpa lining. It'll keep him warm when he's running between classes.

This bedside Bluetooth speaker plays music, can make calls, and has 48 different lighting modes. It also acts as an alarm clock, but we can't promise it will get him out of bed in the morning. Either way, it'll be a welcome addition to his room.

Introduce him to his first cologne with this Boy Smells Discovery Set, which will allow him to try out a whole selection of the brand's classics before landing on his new go-to.

Is snuggling up to his furry best friend on the floor just not cutting it? This bed will provide the ultimate snuggle spot for both of them. Bonus: It's actually a super comfy place for a solo nap, too.

He can keep fit and have fun with the help of this boxing speed bag. It even comes with a pair of gloves. Put it in the garage or front yard, and we're sure he'll use it all the time.

Not all teen boys love a sentimental gift, but this birth month stone guitar pick strikes the perfect chord between sentimentality and functionality. If you're lucky, he might write a song just for you because he loves it so much.

He'll love keeping his mini-fridge stocked with his favorite snacks and drinks for sleepovers and game nights. This model plugs into a wall outlet and/or car charger so he can even take it with him on the go.

If he's always wanted a drone, now is your time to treat him to one. Fair warning: You might find yourself fighting for drone time yourself! "I was completely blown away when I first took off with this drone," writes on shopper. "It makes half the noise that other drones do, and the handling is perfect, making for a smooth flight that you are completely in control of. It has all of the features I crave, including, but not limited to, a solid 1080p camera, flips, impressive range, five speeds, and a hover function that works perfectly. I had it at least 150 feet up and was still getting clear pictures and no warnings. For comparison, most drones in its price range can barely go 50 feet."

Let's face it, sometimes teens can be a little messy. This Dopp Kit will help him keep all his toiletries and daily essentials in order.

If he already has every game console under the sun, gift him this cool neon sign to hang in his room or above his gaming setup. On a practical note, it'll also add some light to his room when he's gaming at night.

A classic duffel is a must-have for teen boys, especially one as tough and durable as this Carhartt option. He can toss his gym clothes in it, take it to a friend's house for a sleepover, or keep it in the back of his car with essentials like hoodies, sweats, and more.

If he's always dreamed of learning the drums, this electronic kit is a great way to test out his interest without splurging on the real thing. It's easy to use and it's not as loud as a real drumset, so it's a win for everyone.

A home run gift if we've ever seen one, this MLB stadium mark-off map is the best gift for any baseball fanatic. We can't get over how cool the vintage style is, too. He can display it on his wall and mark off every game he has been to.

This popular new game, Slammo Game Set, will be a hit for him and his friends. It comes with a carrying case so he can take it to a friend's house or on vacation. It's easy, entertaining, and fun for everyone.

This simple game of Ring Toss will get the whole family involved. If he has forgotten how much fun old-school games are, this will remind him. It's portable, too, so he can take it to a friend's house or on vacation.

If you've got a metaverse-obsessed teen on your hands, this VR headset will be a winner. It's wire- and cable-free, boasts high resolution, and has a library of 350+ gaming, social, fitness, and entertainment options.
