Teenagers have a reputation for being inscrutable, but we've found that buying gifts for teens isn't as hard as it's cracked up to be. While it's true that they're leveling up and looking for more adult presents, especially when it comes to tech gifts and video games, there's still plenty of room for fun toys and kid stuff, with items like fidget toys, award-winning toys and board games still high on their lists. And by now, they've fully developed their own interests, be it art, music, sports, video games, techie stuff or a combo of all of the above.

While that variety does make shopping for gifts less stressful than it seems at first, it's also easy to be overwhelmed by the options. For our list of the best gifts for teen boys, we have a mix of top-tested Good Housekeeping Institute favorites, editor's picks and best-sellers designed to nurture your teen's true interests. Whether you're looking for a small stocking stuffer or a big-ticket gift, something for a 15-year-old still getting the hang of high school or an 18-year-old heading off to college, we've got you covered with all the cool gifts for boys they could possibly ask for.

If you're shopping for other kids and teens on your list, we also have age-appropriate gift ideas for 14-year-olds, 13-year-old girls, 13-year-old boys, 12-year-olds, tween girls and boys too.
