Just Kate Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I need a few stocking stuffer-type gifts for boys between the ages 10 - 14. Any ideas? (things other than gift cards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Mine is getting a couple card games, a small maze book, a Road and Track magazine, hockey cards, treats and some Top Gear swag. It'll keep him occupied while we manage to down a couple cups of coffee. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiden Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I don't have boys, but my husband's go-to gift for boys that age (or any age above 5, really): walkie talkies. If you take them out of the packaging, they should fit in most stockings (depending on what else you have in there), and if you put batteries in them, it'll be even better because they'll be ready to go already.

foxbridgeacademy Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 DS 13 would like earbuds, gloves and fuzzy socks (these are all things he asked for). More specific to my kiddo: Also a new orange (for hunting )balaclava that's not itchy (my mom's taking care of that) ammo, targets (might not fit in stocking) new gaming dice, colored pencils that erase, good scissors (all for map making).... things that fit his hobbies.
