The Best of the Best Little Boy to Teen Boy Gift Guide

Do you have a baby boy, little boy, big boy, or teenage boy in your life? If so, this gift guide is for you! This truly is the best boy gift guide I’ve seen, and once again, it’s thanks to all of you!!! As a boy mom, I find this gift guide super legit. I’d buy each one of these items for my boys, but I think that goes without saying because I don’t post unless I’d buy the item -ha! Thanks again to all of you who sent in your gift ideas to me! They truly are the best gift ideas!

 

Squad Hero laser tag (@devinmccord)- Are you as skeptical of a laser tag set as I am? But I have to be honest, I’m actually going to buy this one for my family. I say FAMILY because it’s legit enough to be able to play with adults. I absolutely love games I can play with my kids, especially games where I can get a little exercise while doing it. I can just see my husband and I against our boys in our backyard or at our place in the country.

Kid’s Trivial Pursuit (@elizmccrary)- Remember how frustrating it was to play Trivial Pursuit with your parents because the questions were so hard?! I do. And I bet with this one, the kids would actually beat us – kinda like that game who’s smarter than a 5th grader.

Nintendo Switch (@katetx1228)- We actually have a Nintendo switch, and I decided to include it on here because it’s the one gaming console that hasn’t gone out of style with my boys. I think since it’s portable and has all the really good games. When the Wii U was replaced for the Xbox, the Switch still got played. It’s also good because one boy plays Fortnite on the Xbox, one plays on the Switch, and everyone is happy!

 

Pickleball Set (@elizmccrary)- I think we are the only family that doesn’t have a Pickleball set, BUT I desperately want one because everyone says how much fun it is to play! I saw so many people posting Pickleball games during quarantine!

Super73 Z Series Bike (@afwithers)-  My son and I recently saw a boy riding an electric bike up to the local burger place with his friends, and you would have thought we were seeing an astronaut land on the moon. Since Covid, our bike riding to and from places has significantly increased. I’m thinking most kiddos are the same, which is why an electric bike would make an epic gift! @afwithers recommended the Super73 Z Series, and it looks epic. I also, found this less expensive one on Amazon.

Vinyl stickers (@athomewithkathleen)-  My boys are obsessed with Micheal Jordan Sneakers (really, sneakers in general), but we certainly can’t buy them a whole bunch of sneakers. BUT, we can buy them MJ sneaker stickers to stick on their iPads, binders, lockers, camp trunks! Such a perfect low cost gift!

Sky Lite (@dabneyjunell)-  This is the nightlight dreams are made of! Because of the way it projects all over and how precise the image is, this nightlight would make you feel like you are in space or in a galaxy. I’ve never seen anything like it.

LED strip lights –  What kiddo doesn’t like making their room cool?! These LED strip lights allow for them to decorate however they see fit. My son put them under his beds so they are lit up from beneath, and my friends daughter put them around her crown molding!

Light up bath toys (@susannerowell)-  I have some of the best memories watching my boys play in the tub when they were little. We had “Scuba Steve”, and these light up bath toys take it to an all new level! I can just imagine how much fun these would be!

Weighted Blanket (@512malia)- We included this in the Women’s Gift Guide, but I had to include again here! I’ve never wanted a weighted blanket until I looked at this one. With the look of one of those chunky knit designer blankets that are so popular right now, you’d never know it’s a weighted blanket. The chunky knit design allows for the weight to be evenly distributed. I’m in love with this gift idea. My son loves heavy blankets while he sleeps, so I’m getting him one.

The Comfy (@jeniselivesay)- The wearable blanket never gets old! Now you can step through the top of it with the 1/4 zip design!

Custom Christmas Ornament (@katrinango)- Every year, my boys get an ornament to remember the year by. This is perfect for a baby’s first Christmas ornament! You could put their birth date on it, or I can also see having a short bible verse put on it that represents our 2020 year.

Clue Board Game (@elizmccrary)- I had to put Clue on here to serve as a reminder that if you don’t have clue in your game closet and you have youngish kiddos, you gotta get Clue!

Rock Tumbler (@elduffin)- I want to go collect rocks from my yard and put them through this thing. I am just so darn curious!!! I mean, if I want to do this as an adult, what kid wouldn’t?! Plus, it has great reviews, which makes me even more curious -hahahahaha!

Pikler Triangle (@ksproul)- You want hours of entertainment for your toddler/young kiddos? Here’s your answer!!! My boys would have played on this thing non-stop! And I was talking to a friend the other day whose kiddos have one, and she said it’s amazing! She started naming all the ways they use it, including as the base of a fort!

You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this picture? It's kinda embarrassing to admit that they’re all I could see at first when I was cutting these hydrangeas from my yard- all the ugly brown, dry spots. As I brought them inside to throw away, I saw them all in my arms and thought, “Wait, these are really pretty all together. How could I just dismiss these so quickly?” Well, it's no surprise to me why I could dismiss them so quickly being the enneagram 1/perfectionist I am, but this was such a good reminder that if I choose to see beyond all the little imperfections in my life how much richer and more beautiful my life becomes! I hope someday I won't even notice those brown spots, but I also have grown to appreciate that God gave me an eye to try and make my world  and life a better place. I just gotta keep it in check and not dismiss the whole lot of hydrangeas for the little brown spots. This is a really beautiful, loving life if I'm looking for it.
I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announci I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announcing their tag sale that starts today (an extra 30% off sale items) and noticed that this jumpsuit I purchased and have not had the chance to post was part of the sale. When I don’t feel like putting together an outfit, I gravitate towards one piece outfits- like a jumpsuit/romper or a dress, which seems to happen more and more during this time at home. Putting together two pieces to make an outfit feels like so much work these days! Plus, I look fully dressed without much effort, and you know I like that. Anyway, there are so many cute one piece options on sale! Then, I noticed that so many items I found and loved during this same shopping trip are included in the sale! The good stuff goes fast, so head to my stories for links to what else I found!  #myanthropologie #sponsored http://liketk.it/2QXVm #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip
Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’ Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’s hot and downright uncomfortable to be outside on metal bleachers, I love it! Do y’all feel the same? And I have missed it! To see your son and his buddies make a really great play just gets my mom heart. I actually got goosebumps last weekend after a play. I know, I am a total dork. Now, I know from experience that if you’re not prepared for the games, you can get quite uncomfortable. As you all know, I am practical to a fault. So in preparation for my next few weeks and weekends that will be spent at the ball fields, I thought I’d share on the blog and on stories today what I think are the 7 necessities to enjoy yourself despite the conditions. I hope they can be of use to you during these toasty summer days outdoors! http://liketk.it/2QUiC

For the last couple of years, finding a versatile For the last couple of years, finding a versatile cover-up has felt practically impossible. Especially since ruffles, puff sleeves, and bows are where it's at with swimsuits right now. It felt like I was trying to buy a cover-up for every swimsuit (ummm, no), which forced me to put on my thinking cap. I finally found my perfect solution!!! SCARVES (aka sarong's)! I'm calling them scarves because I love the idea of using the scarves I already have in my closet as cover ups! Or wearing the sarong you have as a scarf! Not to mention, there are so many more darling scarves out there than there are sarongs and cover ups, and in my mind, they are just waiting to be used as coverups! Plus, typically scarves are less expensive! When I saw this darling rainbow scarf, I knew that I wanted to wear it immediately with this swimsuit top.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve linked a few scarves I'm loving that I think would be great as a cover-ups. I didn't have a chance to check the measurements on all these scarves, so make sure that they're big enough! http://liketk.it/2QzmV #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKswim #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #styletip #swim #coverup #swimcoverup #summerstyle
I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I' I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I'm in love with a lot of these statement swimsuit tops that are out right now. But, I am not in love with the price tag! So, I've come up with a solution! I buy the statement top, and then I buy my swimsuit bottoms from Old Navy! Their swimsuit bottoms fit well, and it's fun to be able to mix and match! In this picture, I'm wearing a designer swimsuit top with my Old Navy bottoms. And since Old Navy has so many different cuts and styles of bottoms, you can find the right fit for you and mix and match the bottoms with your favorite tops! For instance, if you have a red swimsuit top, how cute would they be with blue and white polka dot bottoms for the 4th? Or you could pair your red top with the red and white stripe bottoms. I don't think it matters much if there is a little color variation. Once the swimsuit is wet the colors change, anyway! I'm so excited about this trick, I can hardly stand it! Can you tell?! If you utilize this trick, please tag me or send me a picture. It would make my day!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For sizing reference, my personal favorite are Old Navy's bikini bottoms. I wear either a small or medium depending on how I feel that day. But like I said, they have all different cuts for bottoms, so you can find the one that's right for your body type. http://liketk.it/2Qzjx #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKswim #styletip #stylist #houstonstylist #summerfashion #fashiontips #stylehacks
You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought this top after I posted about my favorite tops for summer on the blog. I know that off the rack clothing rarely fits perfectly. I usually end up returning online orders and go on the search for that perfect top, but unfortunately, that usually comes with a high designer price tag, not to mention hours of searching. Now in COVID times, returns are more difficult, and I don't have the liberty to just go in stores to search for that perfect top. It's definitely giving me a "make it work” attitude, which is really working out well for me! For instance, this top was shown on the model with an open back that tied with a bow and a bra looking front (swipe right). I used a tack stitch on the bottom of the bra part to provide more coverage and wrapped the bow to the front so my back is covered and my front has more coverage. I paired it with my sister's (@tellittoyourneighbor) and my new favorite high-waisted denim shorts. They're a great denim short option for all shapes, and if you want more length, you can keep them unrolled. And I love how my new favorite @espacio_popupshop MAC bracelets tie it all together! Now, let's talk about how I really want to get a hot glue gun out and make a dope mirror like this one! I don't have seashells. I wonder what else I could use? Hmmmm... http://liketk.it/2Qz5I #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #diy #diyfashion #freepeople #agolde @freepeople @agolde
I love the changes I see happening in our country, I love the changes I see happening in our country, and I don't want them to end. I don't ever want to go back to the way things were. All of this progress feels so right. I feel it so deeply in my soul. I'm all in on all of this kind of LOVE. I want to be a part of the change, and I plan to do so in my own little way, but I am taking a cue from @beabridgebuilder founder @latashamorrison and pressing the pause button. I will stand in a place of awareness and humility and learn. But one thing I've realized that I've done in the past that hasn't been helpful is staying quiet for fear that, out of my ignorance, my words would offend a Black friend and that I would be corrected. (In fact, I would always say "African American" for fear that "Black" was offensive. I learned that's not the case.) My silence didn't help anyone. So, I go forward knowing that out of my ignorance, I will make mistakes and will unintentionally offend, but I won't let my fear and self preservation get in the way of trying to help. If I make a mistake, I can learn and say I'm sorry. I'm a big girl now, and I want change. If the change leads to me being humbled, I'm ok with that. I won't stay silent anymore.
