Extra Details:

Looking for awesome, teen-approved gift ideas under $200 for my grandson (mid-teens). He’s at that age where he’s too cool for toys but still wants fun stuff — and honestly, I don’t want to get him something that’ll be shoved in a drawer. 😅 Things he’s into are: tech + gaming (but not sure what he already has), cool clothes/shoes (streetwear vibes?), sports + working out, fun gadgets, accessories, or hobby starters.

101 Things Every Boy Needs To Know: Important Life Advice for Teenage Boys!

A bit different from the usual gifts. This book strikes the balance between meaningful and teen-appropriate: practical life advice wrapped in a package that a teen might appreciate (or at least keep around). Great if you want something thoughtful but not overly sentimental.

If he’s into tech at all, you honestly can’t go wrong with upgraded accessories. They feel “cool” without being boring.

My picks:

1. Wireless earbuds (Soundcore = solid under $200). AirPods if you can stretch your budget. 

2. Fast charging power bank — teens kill batteries nonstop

3. Gaming mouse or mechanical keyboard (even if he’s a casual gamer, this feels premium)
