What to give a boy 12 years old for the New Year?

When you wonder what to give a modern boy 12 years old for the New Year, you can, in the end, come to a standstill and ultimately not find the right solution. But you just have to responsibly and competently approach the study of this problem, and you can understand that in our age a lot of entertaining services and goods have been invented for a boy of this age, which will please him and will positively affect his development.

12 years is a rather difficult period in a person’s life: on the one hand, boys are still fond of various toys, and on the other, puberty causes the appearance of more adult hobbies. Therefore, if you are determined to choose a gift in the toy department, do not give preference to cars, balls or soldiers. There are better toys for a twelve-year-old boy.

• Constructor - just not primitive, which give 2-year-old children. Choose a designer with which you can do the modeling of cars, ships or tanks - the benefit now the range of such sets is very wide.
• Table game. Choose desirable intellectual games. A primitive game with “bones” and moving to the finish line is unlikely to appeal to a twelve-year-old child.
• Remote control toy - With this you will always please a boy of any age.
• The layout of the railway - The "blue dream" of most older people. But now such a toy has become more accessible, so please your child with it.
• Puzzle. This gift is only suitable for an assiduous introvert boy. If the child whom you want to wish Happy New Year is hyperactive and restless, then most likely he will react indifferently to your gift.

Therefore, giving a toy, be prepared to devote some time to sharing the joy of the gift received with him: collect the railroad, drive a radio-controlled machine around the house or play a game of table hockey.

Despite the discontent of many parents, modern children, whether we like it or not, spend an enormous amount of time in front of a computer, tablet or other electronic device that allows you to surf the expanses of virtual space or play video games.

If you decide to give your child some kind of gadget, while you don’t have enough money for a new tablet of the latest model, then you can well show your imagination and choose a budget, but the right New Year gift for a boy of 12 years old, which he will definitely appreciate.

• Original flash drive - among teenagers, these little things are very popular now.
• Computer "mouse" with an unusual design - for an avid gamer, this thing will always be welcome.
• Computer game - only in advance it is necessary to find out what type of games the boy prefers: races, strategies, shooters, fantasy, etc. Also take into account that now computer games are not sold on discs, as it was before. Now they are installed from special Internet resources. Therefore, if you decide to give the child a game, it is best to present him with a certificate so that he has the opportunity to independently choose what he likes.
• Headphones or speakers - with this gift you definitely won’t get into a mess.
• Set of joysticks. Again, here you need to ask the child himself - maybe he already has the same ones.
• Camera for computer. This gift will be a useful acquisition if the boy dreams of the glory of a blogger. Now the idols of the younger generation are bloggers, so it’s very difficult to find among modern teenagers who would not like to try to start their YouTube channel and try to communicate with subscribers.

In addition to toys or gadgets, you can present a wardrobe item to a boy of twelve for the New Year. Of course, at this age, boys (unlike peers) are much less interested in fashion and, in general, pay little attention to their appearance. However, you can still be creative and make your child happy with your gift.

The first thing to consider - at this age, the boy already wants to feel like an adult, have a certain authority among peers, and like the girls. Therefore, if you want to give a child something, then pay attention to the original and stylish wardrobe items, for example, it can be unusual jeans with “scandals”, a jacket or a sweatshirt with a bright print.

You should also pay attention to interesting accessories: stylish belts, baseball caps, creative glasses, a stylish phone case - these little things are very popular with modern teens. A watch is also likely to please a child.

What to present to the teenage boy on New Year's Eve if he loves active games and likes to spend a lot of time outdoors? Of course, he will be pleased to get skates for this holiday, skiing or snowboarding. If he already has all this, give him some stylish and necessary accessory: knee pads, elbow pieces, helmet or special suit. You can also give the boy rollers - now to try them you do not need to wait until the snow melts - just with it you can visit the indoor rollerdrome.

If a child likes to go fishing with his father, then a wonderful gift for him will be own fishing rod or high-quality suit for a young fisherman. This will not only please the child, but also encourage his useful inclinations.

Here are some examples of inexpensive and useful gifts for a twelve-year-old “hobby” boy:

• if he loves geography and dreams of becoming a traveler in the future, give him a large wall map of the world or a globe;
• if the boy is fond of astronomy, then you can present him with an atlas of the starry sky, a home planetarium, a telescope, etc.
• a young chemist, physicist or natural scientist will be pleased with the set for experiments;
• if the child is attracted to music, give him a musical instrument;
• if the boy likes to draw, then give him a set of oil (gouache, watercolor, etc.) paints, a set of brushes, an easel, etc.

As a teenager, children often go in for some kind of sports or just like to watch sports on TV. If the boy to whom you decided to present a gift for the New Year attends the sports section, then opt for sports equipment or other accessories needed in this sport.

Undoubtedly, giving a child a pet is a very responsible step. If you are a relative or friend of the family, then before presenting a pet to a boy, it is better to consult his parents, otherwise you run the risk of putting them in an awkward position, because not everyone loves domestic animals. If you want to give something like a son, then the choice is yours.

On the other hand, giving a boy a pet means developing a sense of responsibility for a living being in him, provided that he will take care of the pet. By the way, it is not necessary to give an expensive puppy, which then sweeps to the size of a mammoth baby, or a cat of a rare breed, the care of which will cost the owners a lot of money. It will be much more appropriate to present a small animal that does not need complicated care, for example, a hamster, guinea pig, parrot, fish, etc.

If you still decided to give the boy a pet for the New Year, then keep in mind that in addition to this gift, you will have to purchase the necessary care items, such as an aquarium, food, collar, sand tray, etc.
