What to give a teenage boy for the New Year?

New Year - time for presents. With the approach of this holiday, each parent thinks about what to give to his children. The choice becomes especially difficult if a teenage boy of 16 grows up at home. This article will consider both the original and the most popular ideas for New Year's gifts, which can be presented not only to his son, but also to his brother or boyfriend.

Adolescence is a difficult stage not only in the boy’s life, but also is a special period for the child’s parents. At this age, boys no longer consider themselves children, many of them in every possible way reject children's gifts. He wants his parents to perceive him as an adult, although his interests and hobbies are not yet adults. Modern children very quickly and easily learn any new items in the world of technology, usually they spend their teenage years behind a monitor screen or in mobile games. Parents should consider that at this age the child is no longer interested in “classic” gifts, he wants something unusual.

Modern stores offer a huge assortment of creative gifts. Below will be considered the most popular of them.

Today, every teenager by the age of 14-16 has a personal smartphone that was previously donated by his parents. Most likely, many were faced with the fact that in frosty weather using the phone becomes very inconvenient. Through gloves, the sensor does not respond to touch, so with every call you have to remove the gloves.On top of that, if your hands are wet or cold, the screen will still not work correctly. All these manipulations quickly exhaust the user.

To prevent problems, you can give your child gloves for touch screens. These are the same warm gauntlets, but at the tips of the index and thumb there is a special substance that the smartphone reacts to.

New Year is a winter holiday, so you can give the boy a device for throwing snowballs. If your son is not an avid gamer, then most likely he spends a lot of time playing snowballs. “Ammunition” is sculpted for a very long time, and is scattered literally in a few seconds. After some time, any gloves will get wet, as a result of which the hands begin to freeze, spoiling all the fun.

This problem is easily solved by the so-called snow blaster. Thanks to this device, your child will forget about sticky gloves and wet hands. It itself sculpts and throws snowballs. The owner only needs to periodically pour snow and charge the device. Such a blaster is absolutely safe, the power of throwing snowballs is small, and the speed depends only on the child.

This is a very unusual device in the age of selfie cameras and monopods. Modern photos have switched completely to digital format, the struggle of megapixels. However, such photos will remain in the phone’s memory, which may be deleted at any time by accident. The device allows you to capture bright moments and instantly print them. Such a photo can be framed and hung on the wall as a reminder of bright moments or just give to friends.

Not so long ago, film cameras, which had the function of instant printing, were popular, but they were considered a luxury, since they cost a lot of money. In the modern world, everything has changed. Everyone can purchase an instant camera and a pocket printer. The market offers a huge assortment of goods for both adults and children in a wide variety of price categories. The pocket printer is a wireless device. Connection is via bluetooth.

All children in their teens are saving up money for some very important purchase for them, for a gift or for some other purpose. But many of them cannot boast of great willpower, as a result of which all their savings are spent a little on some little things. Children think that they will start saving again tomorrow, from Monday, from the beginning of the month, but again they consciously step on the same rake. To help the boy save money, give him an electronic piggy bank. Its feature is that it does not open until the desired amount is accumulated inside. The child will not break the piggy bank, but there are no other ways to open it.

Being in the dark is not pleasant for everyone, and with a constant light on, sitting is not very comfortable. Teenagers begin to forgive their parents various nightlights, table lamps, but they quickly get bored. Buy a design lamp for your boy. A feature of the device is that the lamp projects an image onto a plane (wall), usually water or trees. The most advanced models have built-in speakers, thanks to which you can achieve "complete immersion" in the atmosphere.

These music devices can be found on any storefront in an electronics store or search the Internet. Today they are very popular. Inside there is a backlit fountain. Water "jumps" to the beat of the music - the more bass in the song, the higher the fountain height. The device is equipped with a switch that adjusts the backlight. Usually three modes are available: one-color, blinking or smoothly shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow. For the device to work, you just need to connect it to power and pair it with any source of music.

If you doubt the choice, then you do not know what your child wants. In this case, the best option would be to ask the boy what he is interested in. So, based on your budget and the options listed, it will be possible to choose an acceptable option. If he didn’t succeed in finding out what he wants, the most common gifts for the teenager, which he will most likely be happy with, will be considered below.

Usually the room of a teenage boy is cluttered with various models of heroes of games, films or cartoons, posters, figures from designers. Almost all the guys love to collect, construct something, so you can give the child "Lego". If you find that this interests him, then you can buy more for another holiday, because everyone knows that there are never many designer parts.

If your budget is unlimited, you want to surprise the child as much as possible, then you can order the exclusive Lego set. True, such a purchase will cost you more than one hundred dollars, as these are limited products. But such a gift will remain in your memory for a long time, your son will definitely have something to brag about to his friends. However, the goods will have to be ordered 2-3 months before the New Year. The fact is that it is almost impossible to find this toy in the public domain, so delivery will be made from the United States.

All modern children are addicted to video games. Therefore, a game console (PlayStation, for example) will be a practically win-win gift option. Playstation is much more convenient than a computer in terms of games. In addition to everything, it is about 5 times cheaper than a gaming PC. And computers bought a few years ago, with great difficulty, pull modern innovations, so buying a console is practical.

Shooting games, rpg, fighting games and races for a long time will drag your son. Another positive feature of the device is that you can play both alone and with friends. Modern models support up to 4 joysticks at a time. But this gift is not recommended to be placed under the Christmas tree. It would be better if the boy goes to buy it with you.

Shopping will be useful to any teenager. If he is engaged in sports, then running with music is much more interesting, in addition to everything, it allows you to keep the pace of jogging. If the boy prefers computers, then they will be even more needed. Headphones can be used while listening to audio books, walking, watching movies or chatting on a webcam. Today, wireless headphones are especially popular. Many models act as a full-fledged player, with the ability to install flash cards.

If he already has headphones, then you can buy the so-called webcam. Today, the Internet has become an integral part of our lives. And if adults have enough communication in messengers, then teens need a camera for video calls or for communication during online games.

If the child has everything for entertainment, and you think that this is enough for him, then the purchase of something useful will be the best gift. And it’s not necessary to take a book, you can give a ticket to a concert of your favorite artist or go with him to a match of your favorite football team.

Some parents make arrangements with the parents of the boy's friends and all go to paintball. By the way, this is not just a shooter, but an educational game that makes you think. You can pay your child a gym membership. Your son will not only have a good time, but will always be in good shape.

Do not forget that a gift must be made from the heart. If you do not have a large budget yet, then just buy him a package of sweets.
