What to give a 12-year-old boy for the New Year?

When you are wondering what to give a modern boy 12 years old for the New Year, you can end up at a dead end and, in the end, not find the right solution. But one has only to responsibly and competently approach the study of this problem, and one can understand that in our century a lot of entertaining services and goods have been invented for a boy of this age that will delight him and will have a very positive effect on his development.

12 years is a rather difficult period in a person's life: on the one hand, boys are still fond of various toys, on the other hand, puberty causes the emergence of more adult hobbies. Therefore, if you are determined to choose a gift in the toy department, then do not give preference to cars, balls or toy soldiers. There are better options for toys for a twelve year old boy.

• Constructor - just not primitive, which is given to 2-year-old children. Choose a constructor with which you can start modeling cars, ships or tanks - since now the assortment of such sets is very wide.
• Board game. Choose preferably intellectual games. A primitive game with "bones" and movement to the finish line is unlikely to please a twelve-year-old child.
• Remote control toy - with this you will always delight a boy of any age.
• Railway layout - The "blue dream" of most of the older generation. But now such a toy has become more accessible, so please your child with it.
• Puzzle. This gift is only suitable for an assiduous introvert boy. If the child whom you want to wish a Happy New Year is hyperactive and restless, then, most likely, he will be indifferent to your gift.

Therefore, giving a toy, be ready to devote some time to share the joy of the gift you received with him: build a railroad, drive a radio-controlled car around the house, or play a game of table hockey.

Despite the discontent of many parents, modern children, whether we like it or not, spend an enormous amount of time in front of a computer, tablet or other electronic device that allows them to surf the vastness of the virtual space or play video games.

If you decide to give your child a gadget, and you do not have enough funds for a new tablet of the latest model, then you may well show your imagination and choose a budgetary, but necessary gift for the New Year for a 12-year-old boy, which he will definitely appreciate.

• Original flash drive - These little things are now very popular among teenagers.
• Computer "mouse" with an unusual design - for an avid gamer, this thing will always come in handy.
• Computer game - just first you need to find out what kind of games the boy prefers: races, strategies, shooters, fantasy, etc. Also keep in mind that now computer games are not sold on disks, as it was before. Now they are installed from special Internet resources. Therefore, if you decide to give your child a game, then it is best to present him with a certificate so that he can independently choose what he likes.
• Headphones or speakers - with this gift you will definitely not get into trouble.
• A set of joysticks. Again, here you need to ask the child himself - maybe he already has the same.
• Camera for the computer. This gift will be the most useful purchase if the boy dreams of the glory of a blogger. Now the idols of the younger generation are precisely bloggers, so it is very difficult to find those among modern teenagers who would not like to try to start their own YouTube channel and try to communicate with subscribers.

In addition to toys or gadgets, you can present a wardrobe item to a twelve-year-old boy for the New Year. Of course, at this age, boys (unlike girls of the same age) are much less interested in fashion and, in general, pay little attention to their appearance. However, you can still get creative and make your child happy with your gift.

The first thing to consider is that at this age the boy already wants to feel like an adult, to have a certain authority among his peers, to please the girls. Therefore, if you want to give your child some thing, then pay attention to the original and stylish wardrobe items, for example, it can be unusual jeans with "scandals", a leather jacket or a sweatshirt with a bright print.

You should also pay attention to interesting accessories: stylish belts, baseball caps, creative glasses, stylish phone case - these are the little things that modern teenagers really like. A child will most likely like a watch too.

What to present for the New Year to a teenage boy if he loves active games and likes to spend a lot of time outdoors? Of course, he will be pleased to receive skates for this holiday, skis or snowboard. If he already has all this, then give him some stylish and necessary accessory: knee pads, elbow pads, helmet or special suit. Can also be presented to a boy rollers - now, to try them, you don't need to wait for the snow to melt - just with it you can visit the indoor rollerdrome.

If the child loves to go fishing with his father, then a wonderful gift for him will be your own fishing rod or a quality suit for a young fisherman. By doing this, you will not only delight the child, but also encourage his useful inclinations.

Here are some examples of inexpensive and useful gifts for a twelve-year-old boy "by interests":

• if he loves geography and dreams of becoming a traveler in the future, present him with a large wall map of the world or a globe;
• if the boy is fond of astronomy, then you can present him with an atlas of the starry sky, a home planetarium, a telescope, etc .;
• a young chemist, physicist or natural scientist will be pleased with a set for conducting experiments;
• if the child gravitates towards music, give him a musical instrument;
• if the boy likes to paint, give him a set of oil paints (gouache, watercolor, etc.), a set of brushes, an easel, etc.

In adolescence, children often go in for any kind of sports or just like to watch sports competitions on TV. If the boy, to whom you decided to present a gift for the New Year, attends the sports section, then opt for sports equipment or other accessories needed in this sport.

Undoubtedly, giving a child a pet is a very important step. If you are a relative or family friend, then before presenting a pet to a boy, it is better to consult with his parents, otherwise you risk putting them in an awkward position, because not everyone adores domestic animals. If you want to give something like this to your son, then the choice is yours.

On the other hand, giving a boy a pet means developing in him a sense of responsibility for a living being, provided that he will take care of the pet himself. By the way, it is absolutely not necessary to give an expensive puppy, which then grows to the size of a mammoth, or a rare breed cat, the care of which will cost the owners a lot of money. It would be much more appropriate to present a small animal that does not need complex care, for example, a hamster, guinea pig, parrot, fish, etc.

If you still decide to give the boy a pet for the New Year, then keep in mind that In addition to this gift, you will have to purchase the necessary maintenance items such as an aquarium, food, collar, sand tray, etc.
