Finding The Best Gifts for Boys Ages 10 to 13 Years

My 5 Gift Ideas for Boys Ages 10 to 13 Years Old:

Finding the right gifts for boys ages 10 to 13 years is hard. These are the tween years and boys this age can be difficult at times. They are really starting to get interested in sports, outdoor activities and video games, but peer pressure is starting to influence some of their decisions. They are interested in the latest trends in clothing, outdoor gear, toys and video games. Many boys at this age are starting to show an interest in  hobbies like woodworking, model building and collecting items like baseball card. I have done some research and came up with a list of 5 gift ideas for boys this age that will help parents and other family members find the best gifts for boys ages 10 to 13 years on their list.

1. LEGO Mindstorms EV3:

My first pick is the Lego Minestorm series. This series is Lego's all grown up and was designed for boys this age. This series of Lego's combine the versatility of the LEGO building system with the most advanced technology ever developed, unleashing the creative powers of you child mind. They can build robot with touch sensor, color sensor, infrared sensor and 550+ LEGO Technic elements from this set. I love this set as it's the next step in the mindstorm series that Lego developed years ago that many High School Robotics clubs use to complete in Lego contest. This is the perfect gift for a boy that show an interest in Engineering. I know because this is how my son started getting into robotics and is now getting his BS in electrical engineering with a minor in Robotics.

2.  Battroborg 3-in-1 Battle Arena:

This is the hottest toy this year for boys of all ages, but the age that will really enjoy these robot are between the ages of 10 to 13 where they can battle their friends in this arena. These Battroborgs are the next innovation in robot gaming technology to hit the market this year. Battroborgs are motion controlled battling robots fueled by your fists and this 3-in-1 Battle Arena offers multiple ways to play. This arena allow the Battroborg to battle in three different, competitive game modes, along with training. The arena includes 2 Robots one red and one green with Nanchaku Controllers, 4 Training Drones and instruction sheet.

3. Maisto R/C 1:24 1967 Ford Mustang:

This RC car is a great start for any boy that wants to get into a fun hobby of racing cars around a track or share an interest with his Dad as both father and son would love this car. They will enjoy the authentic styling and fast RC control of the Maisto RC 1967 Ford Mustang. Your son can drive this '67 Mustang down a high-speed course with the full-function radio controller. The dashboard-style controller includes left-right steering and forward-reverse motion. Like all Maisto RC models, this Mustang's controls offer a choice between multiple frequencies, so it can race against other Maisto RC vehicles. This RC Mustang is built to 1:24 inch scale, but the true beauty of this car is it's authentic styling and pro-touring modifications.

4. Skylanders SWAP Force - Nintendo 3DS:

This is the only Video game that I have included on my list of toys, but for boys this age it hard not to have at least one video games since they are so interested in these types of toys. So the reason that I have included this one is not only could it be played on a wide variety of game systems, but  it also comes with 3-Skylanders Figures, a Character Collector Poster, 3-Sticker Sheets with Secret Codes and 3-Trading Cards along with the video game. Plus you can collect more characters to add to the game. Boys age 10 to 11 might enjoy this video game more, than the older boys. 

5. Nerf N-Strike Blazin Bow Blaster: 

The latest bow from Nerf is the Nerf Blazin' Bow. It comes with 3 foam arrows, nylon string/rope, an arrow holder, instructions, and the bow. With the Blazin' Bow, the nylon string/rope, and the arrow holder are already in place by Nerf. This blaster has a 20-inch wingspan with gives it launching power to hit targets up to 40 feet away and it is easy to reload fast from the blaster's arrow storage compartment

 





Some other gift ideas might be bikes, skateboards or sports gear that will help keep your son active in his favorite sport. My two sons at this age loved Hockey and skateboarding. They want sticks, pucks and a Goaly net to practice everyday. This is just some of my suggestions for fun Christmas gift ideas for boys ages 10 to 13 years old.   Use this list to either purchase these toys or to come up with some ideas of different toys that your son might like this year.
