What to Get a Brand New Teenager Gift Guide
The transition into thirteen is significant. He’s not quite a baby, but no longer fully adult. And the most valuable gifts for that year between have two crucial qualities: They have that thrill for right now, yet will still have a life beyond today.
Focus on these three criteria:
Educational Potential
Think gifts that don’t feel like schoolwork but do challenge his mind-those problem-solving puzzles, craft and art projects, science gadgets or books that satisfy intellectual curiosity. He should feel his brain get stretched and find value beyond the initial cool factor, because learning is a gift that keeps on giving.
Offline Entertainment
There’s probably already enough time on his phone or device, right? Whether it’s something to build, something to collect or something to help him to go play outside with friends, games that get him away from the screens are often well-remembered through the years. Offline is “in,” because it helps build skill and attention span.
Rough-and-Tumble Ready
At 13, your son can go through clothes and equipment pretty quickly because he basically uses things on maximum settings. Purchases built for durability-the kind of goods he can throw in a backpack, use over and over, or even take outside without breaking-mean his gift won’t come apart before he has outgrown it.
