Finding the right gift for a loved one is always tricky, but it can be even more of a challenge when you’re shopping for a teenage boy.

But we’re here to tell you the good news: Finding the best gift for teen boys isn’t impossible.

Like the best gifts for teenage girls, the perfect gift for a teenage boy taps into their favorite trends and interests—whatever latest thing he can’t stop talking about right now. Is he a sports fanatic or athlete? Then he’ll love the best fitness gifts and sports gear picks, like a baseball cap of his favorite sports team. If he’s totally into gaming, he’ll definitely appreciate a new board game, gaming console, or even a brainteaser puzzle. And when in doubt, you can never go wrong with a trendy tech gadget or something he can never have enough of (like a comfy hoodie or socks!).

No matter what he’s into, just peruse our list of the best gifts for teens below, which has everything from practical picks he’ll actually use to unique, creative gifts that are sure to impress.
