What to give an 11-year-old boy?

Choosing a gift for an 11-year-old boy is not such an easy task as it might seem at first glance. This is no longer quite a child, but so far he does not look like an adult. From this age, the stage of puberty begins, so there are a lot of nuances that should be taken into account when choosing a gift for a child of this age for a particular holiday.

Modern boys at 11 years old are not at all like their ancestors when they were 11 years old. They are highly developed, all-understanding, knowledgeable and tech-savvy kids who have no difficulty in getting information. It is at the age of 11 that parents often notice that the child's style of behavior changes, completely new beliefs and opinions appear.

Boys at the age of 11 begin to rapidly change outwardly - the bones of the skeleton are stretched, body weight gain begins, and the active production of sex hormones begins. All this is perceived by the child in a somewhat strange way - he already feels like an adult, but, looking at the reflection in the mirror, he sees an unformed and awkward grown-up child, whose image is not linked to internal self-perception, no matter how hard you try.

All this creates a painful perception of the flaws in their appearance, which fights against the desire to please girls. And against the background of such an internal contradiction, the child already has the first adult character traits. First of all, the little boy wants to be an adult in the eyes of relatives and friends, he is ready to establish his right to this by any means.

Presenting the correct and reasonably chosen gift is a great way to emphasize its importance, maturity, and independence. Based on this, you should make your choice. And it will clearly not be in favor of teddy bears.

Parents know their little boy better than others. They can afford some "intimate" gifts that are appropriate only from loved ones. Such gifts, which will emphasize that the boy is already an adult, include the following:

• beautiful but modest personalized dressing gown - dad has his own, mom has his own, it is time for the son to wear his own robe, in which he is very similar to dad;
• phone and (or) case for it - you should not buy a smartphone of the latest model, although it looks cool, a child still does not know how to be frugal and can break, lose such a gadget, so you better pay attention to mid-range phones;
• interesting piggy bank-safe - the boy will be able to come up with his own access code to it and save money for something of his own, which he has long dreamed of;
• unusual alarm clock - 11-year-old boys are usually very reluctant to get up in the morning at the signal of the alarm, so waking up can decorate and at the same time set the mood for the whole day with an interesting alarm clock that will be silenced only after it is caught (flying version) or hit by a laser pistol on a target on wall;
• game weapon - a great option to emphasize the masculinity of the future defender of the Fatherland; a Nerf blaster, a laser tag, a water pistol, a bow and arrow, a crossbow and a machine gun that shoots soft balls - all this will please the boy;
• robot dog - a suitable gift for a boy to whom his parents cannot have a pet;
• wrist watch (electronic, mechanical or "smart", with Internet access, with the ability to send short messages);
• radio controlled toy - this is a great option, because with it the child will be able to feel like a real pilot, driver, stuntman and racer.

Considering that boys at the dawn of puberty are great romantics and dreamers, you can present your son projector, which projects a map of the starry sky onto the walls and ceiling. In such an environment, the little boy will be able to feel like a real astronaut and a fearless conqueror of space. Since boys at this age are very inquisitive and curious, but they no longer blindly accept everything that adults tell them, you can present your son with a set for experiments - set of chemist, physics, microscope or telescope.

It is worth paying attention to such excellent gift options for an 11-year-old son, such as:

• MP3 player;
• headphones, including wireless, since all boys at this age love to listen to music;
• camera for those who like to take pictures;
• good wireless PC mouse (if the son is fond of games, programming);
• power bank - a device that will always help to recharge a mobile phone, regardless of whether there is a nearby source of electricity or not.

Parents who focus on the intellectual development of their son, you can recommend gifts such as:

• encyclopedia or book on a topic that interests the child more than others;
• 3D pen, which will allow you to create three-dimensional shapes from heated plastic;
• puzzle - flat, volumetric, game, board, puzzles.

Children at this age already have enough attention to fashion and know perfectly well what is popular now and what is not. Based on this, giving jeans, T-shirts and other items of clothing to a son is not very correct, because it is not a fact that mom and dad know exactly what is fashionable for 11-year-olds right now.

From original presentations, parents can choose the following options:

• electric scooter;
• a ticket to a concert of your favorite singer, to a football or hockey match (depending on what the child is interested in);
• functional flashlight with a lot of modes and capacious rechargeable batteries;
• a pet - up to 11 years old, children are usually not able to independently take care of a puppy or kitten, hamster or fish, but from this age, you can emphasize the adulthood and independence of the son by entrusting him with taking care of a living being;
• unusual, stylish backpack;
• game console - to be honest, dad also secretly dreams of such a present, so the child will have someone to play with.

It so happens that a child has everything that his peers dream of. What to do in this case? Do not despair, because you can always buy something that will give the old thing a tempting novelty, for example, bike wheel lights, fresh comic book releases for collectors of hand drawn superhero adventure stories, a new cover or stand for an old but beloved gadget. Whatever the idea of ​​a gift, you need to proceed not from what you think is necessary and useful for the teenager, but from what he considers necessary for himself.

There is no closer man than a brother. No one understands all the secret desires of the eleven-year-old hero of the occasion like a brother. Based on this, it is the brother who can really pick up a cool gift for a teenager, the best among all the presents. If the brothers have a small age difference, then their area of ​​interest is similar. The older brother is able to make a wonderful gift, completely pleasing the brother, and the younger one can suggest an amazing presentation idea.

It is worth paying attention to the following ideas for a gift for a brother for an 11th birthday or other holiday.

• Whistler keychain - is attached to a bunch of keys and allows you to quickly find them, responding to a prearranged signal (whistle, claps) with a joyful loud whistle, so the loss of keys in the bowels of the apartment or in the classroom will no longer be a big problem, the teenager will find the loss without problems by sound.
• Tengu Interactive Friend - a character who will brighten up loneliness and amuse if the child becomes sad. It connects to USB, lives near the computer, it is easy to wake it up: you just need to blow on it. The character reacts to sounds, music, speech, diligently imitates sounds, builds a variety of emotional faces.
• A brother with a clear conscience can choose for a brother a new computer game or a game for a console, because a brother knows better than his parents what kind of games the teenager is most interested in.
• Creator's Kit - a tablet for drawing with light, water, drawing supplies if a teenager likes to draw, a table for drawing with sand, a set for burning wood, cutting with a jigsaw.

A brother can pick up a very good version of the constructor. In addition, he will be happy to help the 11-year-old hero of the occasion collect something worthwhile out of him. The best constructors are Lego, "Knight's Castle", "City of Masters"... You can buy a construction kit that will help you design your own robot.

A sweet gift never loses its relevance. And from the hands of a brother who always strove (or strives) to take away a candy or chocolate bar, such a gift will be doubly pleasant.

Among the best games for boys of this age and their comrades, the Tower is worth noting, in which the players take turns taking out one brick from a structure consisting of wooden blocks. The task is not to bring down the entire structure, thereby demonstrating your dexterity and ingenuity.
