Every year I go back to the drawing board and share my favorite holiday gifts. I love this exercise because I get to share with you all that my boys love RIGHT now. So, in this post, you will find, super fun, reasonably priced worthwhile toys & holiday gifts for boys.
Holiday Gifts
Not only are holidays special for kids because of all that lands under the Christmas tree (in our home), they’re also a time to exercise gratitude and to give back to the community.
Best Holiday Gifts – 10-Year-Old Boys
Gravity Maze
Vintage T-Shirt
Ever since my son decided to wear this hilarious t-shirt to a school concert instead of wearing a carrot costume, I knew funny t-shirts were going to be his thing. This vintage t-shirt is no exception!
Discovering STEM Structures
Building is and always will be an obsession (in a good way) for my boys. We’ve explored the best building materials for kids, studied bridges, and dug into engineering for kids. So, this engineering toy is a perfect addition.
The Don’t Laugh Challenge Joke Book
Ever since I found my boys’ nestled on the couch watching “don’t laugh” videos on Youtube, I decided there has to be another way to feed that desire to challenge their giggles. As you can imagine, when I discovered this book, my heart jumped for joy!
Metal Detector
This unconventional gift for boys is a hit in our home. Last spring while at a baseball game that was dragging on a bit too long, I noticed a friend walk over to her car and pull out this contraption.
When she explained that it was a metal detector and that her boys will hunt for treasure for hours on end, I knew this item needed to be part of our life!
National Geographic Kids Why?
Books like this one keep my son occupied for loads of time. Furthermore, the information discovered within the pages ignites further learning of new topics he never knew even existed in the world!
The Dangerous Book for Boys
This bestselling book is timeless and explores essential childhood skills such as learning how to fish, how to use a compass, and how to build a treehouse.

Stomp Rockets
UFO Flying Ball Toy
Nerf Targets for Shooting
We love our nerf guns and this item takes it to a whole new level.

There is no better gift than the gift of laughter! My 8-year-old cannot get enough of hearing, telling, and creating his own amazing jokes!

My 5-year old’s love for all things hot wheels continues to burn strong!
