You’d think that by being that opinionated, teenage boys would be easier to read. In their teenage/rebellious age, it can be pretty hard to get them to say anything more than a word, let alone be vocal about what they really want as a gift.
So, you aren’t sure of his tastes and he’s not expressing them either. You don’t want to get him a gift that will make him roll his eyes to the back of the head, right? Sounds terrible, feels even worse.
On our quest of finding interesting gifts that will make this tough crowd smile, we found a ton of options for the confused shopper to choose from. Boys vary in their personality tastes, likes and dislikes, so we will try to include something for everyone.
Whether he loves spending his free hours at the library, likes the hustle of sports, or is a born gamer – this list of gifts for 14-year old boys will hopefully meet his preference.
14 Amazing Gifts for 14-Year Old Boys
1. Fire Tablet
Allow the teen to carry entertainment with him wherever he goes. Anything from games, music, videos, e-books, and even school stuff can be kept in a Fire Tablet and taken everywhere. And he can also enjoy a ton of content without accessing the web, thanks to the microSD card.
This stunning model features a 10.1’’ full HD display and a decent internal storage. Owing to the newest 2.0 GHz octa-core processor plus the 2 GB RAM, the device will run fast and smooth.
If you want to go all in, then why not consider an iPad? If the boy is a bookworm, an Amazon Kindle will do him better than a Fire Tablet.
2. A Musical Instrument
This generation is hyper focused on technology and the latest gadgets. Millennials and Gen Z can agree that they grew up with a very strong pop culture influence in their life.
At one point, we all wanted to play in a band and tour the world. While that dream didn’t come true for most of us, doesn’t mean you can’t learn a musical instrument and have fun at it.

Check out this amazing acoustic guitar that’s beginner friendly and comes with a full set including everything you’d need – three picks, a gig bag case, pitch pipe tuner, and detachable nylon shoulder strap.
