You should not think that all 12-year-old boys are mischievous and adventurers who do not want to learn. Some boys will be happy with an interesting book, while others will be happy with a creative set. The choice of a gift depends on the hobbies, interests and character of a particular boy.

Twelve years is the very beginning of a transitional age. At this time, children change not only physiologically, but also psychologically. Many teenagers have a strong spirit of contradiction, it becomes difficult to negotiate with them, it is not easy to please them with the choice of a gift.

Most twelve-year-old boys try to behave like adults, although they are still children at heart. Therefore, when deciding what to give a boy for 12 years, it is worth considering various options for presents. It can be some types of toys, and quite adult gifts.

Electronic gadgets

Nowadays, various electronic devices are often purchased as a gift for a 12-year-old boy. It can be a modern model of a phone or tablet, a laptop or a gaming computer. If there is a desire and an opportunity to give a child an expensive gift, then you should buy him some kind of electronic novelty.

An MP3 player can be a great gift option, because most twelve-year-old boys listen to music with pleasure. This device can also be useful for other purposes: for listening to audiobooks or for learning a foreign language. When choosing a player, you should pay attention not only to the functionality, but also to the design of the player. For a twelve-year-old teenager, you can choose a player with original design, for example, in the form of an angry bird from the popular game Angry Birds.

You can give the boy and a camera. Despite the fact that today even cheap phones have cameras, many teenagers want to have photographic equipment. After all, even not the most expensive "soap box" gives much more opportunities for filming. Therefore, if a teenager has an interest in photography, you should pay attention to this gift option.

Another interesting gift for a child for 12 years - wrist watch. At one time, many stopped wearing watches, since you can see the time on your phone, but now this accessory has come into fashion again. For a twelve-year-old teenager, it is better to purchase an electronic watch with a variety of functions. When choosing a model, you should pay attention to the design, the watch should be stylish and fashionable. Given the fact that it is rare for a twelve-year-old boy to have a sedate manner, it is better to choose a model with a waterproof case and shock protection.

Toys

Is it worth it to buy toys as a gift for a boy on his 12th birthday? The answer to the question depends on the inclinations of the birthday man. Most boys this age will be happy to receive:

Radio control toy. A helicopter, a flying saucer, a robot that can be controlled from the remote control will delight the birthday boy.

Constructor. Of course, this should be a complex designer, designed specifically for teenagers.

Board games. For a twelve-year-old child, you can pick up a variety of board games. These can be sports games, for example, air football. Or intellectual games: various strategies. For intellectuals, chess will be a wonderful gift.

Vehicle

Why not give the boy his own vehicle for his birthday? Of course, we are not talking about a car, but about a bicycle. If a child does not have this thing necessary for every boy, or the old bicycle has become “too small” for him, then such a gift will bring a lot of joy.

You can give other "means of transportation":

skateboard;
rollers or mini-rollers that are attached to sneakers;
skates.

Gifts for sports

The boy must be not only intellectually developed, but also strong. Therefore, it must be necessarily attached to sports. As a birthday present, you can buy a punching bag and a pair of boxing gloves. Many boys enjoy watching boxing fights on TV, and such a gift will help them imagine themselves in the place of a champion. In addition, it is a useful simulator that helps develop muscles and train the cardiovascular system.

You can also give various exercise equipment: a treadmill, an exercise bike, etc. But when choosing such a gift, you need to remember that they take up a lot of space, so you need to take into account living conditions birthday family.

Clothing and footwear

Many boys of this age will be pleased if they receive military-style clothes. In such clothes, they themselves seem more solid and mature. You can give your child a fashionable youth backpack. This thing is universal, with a backpack you can go to school and for walks.

To amuse the birthday boy, you should present him with a T-shirt with funny inscriptions or pictures. Or a cool cap with a fan built into the visor. The energy source is a photocell located at the top of the cap. In such a cap, you can safely go for a walk even in extreme heat, a pleasant breeze will fan your face.

Gifts original

It is very difficult to choose gifts for a child who has everything. In this case, you need to choose really original things. Here are some gift ideas:

Snow blaster. If the birthday falls on the cold season, then a snow blaster will be a great gift for a boy. This is a "weapon" that shoots snowballs. Using it is simple, just collect the snow in the form and pull the trigger. With such a "weapon" you can arrange a real snow battle.

Set for a young spy. This is an interesting toy that includes: a spyglass with a sixfold magnification, a removable hidden flashlight that gives a narrow directional beam of light and a voice changer. Using the voice changer, you can create various sound effects: change the volume, tone, range.

For example, an alarm clock with a target, it will give a signal until an accurate shot from a laser pistol is fired. Another option for a funny alarm clock is a clock on wheels. When the signal is turned on, they begin to “run away”, to turn off the signal, they will definitely have to get out of bed.

You can do without material gifts, often best gift the boy is a new experience. Of course, when choosing this gift, you need to know the interests of the birthday man. Someone will like going to the aquarium more, someone will be delighted with tickets to a football match or a rock festival, and someone has long dreamed of flying in a wind tunnel or learning how to shoot accurately from a crossbow.

Gifts from friends

For a birthday, it is customary to invite friends of the same age, who also prepare gifts for the birthday man. It is clear that twelve-year-old children do not earn money themselves, so a gift for a friend should be inexpensive.

As a gift from a friend, it will be nice to receive a disc with a computer game or some kind of hand-made thing. For example, a model of a ship or an aircraft. As a present from a girl, you can prepare a book, a mug with a portrait of a birthday man, chocolate or other goodies.

A 12-year-old teenager is no longer a child, but he will not become an adult soon either. Therefore, it is so difficult to find a gift for a boy of this age. It is important to choose something that he really needs, but at the same time not to hurt the vulnerable teenage soul and not offend by chance. If you do not know what to give a boy of 12 years old, be sure to use our tips to choose the best present.

How to choose the right gift for a teenager

Now he is at a difficult stage of growing up and reminders of childhood can completely ruin his mood. Also, do not give something too grown-up, such as an expensive engraved ballpoint pen or a leather purse. He doesn't need these things.

A good option is to ask the boy's friends what is valued in their company now, and what every teenager would like to receive.

On the other hand, such a gift will not leave any memory behind. If you still decide to donate money, do not give the boy advice on how and what to spend it on.
