Gift giving for my boys used to be easy and then they became teens. Now it can be a struggle to find a gift for teen guys that they will appreciate or a teen gift that won't exceed your gift-giving budget. Most teens are into everything that involves electronic devices and video games. Even if you choose to buy something related to electronics, you have to consider that teens can be very selective or they may already have a certain video game. So when it comes to buying a gift for a boy who is a teen, one has to be creative and think outside the box when shopping for a gift for teen boys.
As a mom who has 2 teenage boys, I know what teens like and what teens need. That being said, I still struggle when it comes to gifts, especially affordable gifts. So, with the help of my teen sons, I made a list of some gift suggestions for affordable gifts that are priced under $100, with most of them being under $50. Keep in mind that some of the smaller items can be great for stocking stuffers or as a part of a themed gift basket. Also, many of these Christmas gift suggestions can also make great gifts for teen girls.
Affordable Holiday Gift Ideas For Teenage Guys
1. Gift Cards ~ Gift cards to the teen's favorite store or restaurant are always appreciated by teens. So think of their favorite place to shop or hang out with friends. A $25 gift card to the coffee shop near their school or their favorite pizza place will be a gift that the teen will love.
2. Money ~ I know the gift of money for a teen guy can seem tacky but teens are always broke, so they love getting money. Be creative in how you give the gift. Place the money in a gift basket with their favorite snacks.

3. Gift basket of snacks ~ Teens like to eat and they are huge snackers. So make a gift basket filled with their favorite snacks and drinks. Make sure to include snacks that they can toss into their school backpack. Some snack item suggestions are energy drinks, protein bars, single-size bags of chips, small packages of nuts, cookies, and beef jerky.
My boys are huge into beef jerky, not only for the taste but because jerky is a high-protein snack. My boys are athletes and enjoy eating protein snacks after practice to help their muscles recover. A brand of beef jerky that is a favorite with my boys is Old Trapper Beef Jerky.
All Old Trapper products are still smoked the old-fashioned way, using real wood chips, Old Trapper offers a full line of naturally smoked meat snacks using only the best lean strips of beef.
4. Hot & Cold Compression Sleeve ~ A compression sleeve is a great gift for a teen guy who is on a sports team. One that has cold and hot therapy is even better. My teen sons are on the cross country team at their school, in addition to riding their bikes to school. So these teen boys have plenty of sore muscles that need icing. The other night, my teen was frustrated with having to hold his ice pack on his sore knee, which meant he did not have use of his hands for his phone! My teen said, out loud ~ " I need something that would hold this ice pack on my knee!" My son loved how the compression sleeve felt after running and that it stayed in place.
