Teenage boys can be so difficult to shop for. They are too old for toys but they still like to have fun. It can be a challenge to come up with gift ideas that teenagers actually want.

I have two teenage sons and I know that I have struggled over the last few years trying to find the perfect gift that I know they will enjoy. That is why I decided to sit down and make a list of over 80 gift ideas that will help me when I shop for Easter, their birthdays, or Christmas this year. But, may also inspire and make shopping for your teen easier too.

Most of the options are budget-friendly but I did include a few big purchase options at the end just in case you have a larger budget.
