Adolescence is a difficult stage not only in the life of a boy, but is also a special period for the child's parents. At this age, boys no longer consider themselves children, many of them reject children's gifts in every possible way. He wants his parents to perceive him as an adult, although his interests and hobbies are not yet adults. Modern children very quickly and easily master any novelties in the world of technology, usually their teenage years pass behind a monitor screen or in mobile games. Parents should take into account that at this age the child is no longer interested in "classic" gifts, he wants something unusual.

Modern stores offer a huge range of creative gifts. The most popular of them will be discussed below.

Today, every teenager by the age of 14-16 has a personal smartphone, previously donated by his parents. Most likely, many have come across the fact that in frosty weather, using the phone becomes very inconvenient. Through gloves, the sensor does not respond to touch, so you have to take off your gloves every time you call.On top of that, if your hands are wet or cold, the screen will still not work properly. All these manipulations quickly exhaust the user.

To prevent the problem, you can give your child gloves for touch screens. These are the same warm mittens, but there is a special substance on the tips of the index and thumb, to which the smartphone reacts.

New Year is a winter holiday, so you can give your boy a snowball thrower. If your son is not an avid gamer, then most likely he spends a lot of time playing snowballs. "Ammunition" is molded for a very long time, and is scattered in just a few seconds. After a while, any gloves will get wet, as a result of which the hands begin to freeze, spoiling all the fun.

This problem is easily solved by the so-called snow blaster. Thanks to this device, your child will forget about sticky gloves and wet hands. It sculpts and throws snowballs by itself. The owner only needs to periodically add snow and charge the device. Such a blaster is absolutely safe, the force of throwing snowballs is small, and the speed depends only on the child.

However, such photos will remain in the phone's memory, which can be cleared at any time by accident. The device allows you to capture bright moments and instantly print them. Such a photo can be framed and hung on the wall as a reminder of bright moments or simply as a gift to friends.

Not so long ago, film cameras that had an instant print function were popular, but they were considered a luxury, since they cost a lot of money. Everything has changed in the modern world. Anyone can purchase an instant camera and pocket printer. The market offers a huge range of products for both adults and children in various price categories. Pocket printer is a wireless device. The connection is made via bluetooth.

All children in adolescence save money for some very important purchase for them, for a gift or for some other purpose. But many of them cannot boast of great willpower, as a result of which all savings are gradually spent on some little things. Children think that they will start saving again tomorrow, from Monday, from the beginning of the month, but again they deliberately step on the same rake. To help the boy save money, give him an electronic piggy bank. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it will not open until the required amount accumulates inside. The child will not break the piggy bank, and there are no other ways to open it.

Not everyone likes being in the dark, and sitting is not very comfortable when the light is on all the time. Teenagers begin to forgive their parents for various bedside lamps, table lamps, but they also quickly get bored. Buy a design lamp for the boy.

There are usually three modes available: single color, flashing or smoothly iridescent with all the colors of the rainbow. For the device to work, you just need to connect it to the power supply and pair it with any music source.

All modern children are addicted to video games. Therefore, a game console (PlayStation, for example) will be almost a win-win gift option. Playstation is much more convenient than a computer in terms of games. On top of that, it's about 5x cheaper than a gaming PC. And computers bought a few years ago can hardly handle modern novelties, so buying a console is practical.

Shooting games, adventure games, fighting games and races will delight your son for a long time. Another positive feature of the device is that you can play alone or with friends. Modern models support up to 4 joysticks simultaneously. But it is not recommended to put this gift under the tree. It will be better if the boy goes to buy it with you.

Today, wireless headphones are gaining special popularity. Many models act as a full-fledged player, with the ability to install a flash card.

If he already has headphones, then you can buy a so-called webcam. Today the Internet has become an integral part of our life. And if adults have enough communication in messengers, then teenagers need a camera for video calls or for communication during online games.

If a child has everything for entertainment, and you think that this is enough for him, then the best gift would be to buy something useful. And you don't have to take a book, you can give a ticket to a concert of your favorite artist or go with him to a match of your favorite football team.

Some parents agree with the parents of the boy's friends and all go to paintball. By the way, this is not just a shooting game, but an educational game that makes you think. You can pay your child a gym membership. Your son will not only have a good time, but will always be in good shape.
