We recently shared our best gifts for little girls guide and now we have our best gifts for little boys guide! Many people think boys can be hard to shop for, but we certainly don’t think so! There are so many fun products, both old and new, that would make amazing presents for the little boys in your life. If you’re stumped on what to get, here’s our holiday gift guide for little boys.

Gifts for Little Boys: Under $50

1 | Marvel Super Hero Cape Set

What kid doesn’t love to dress up and play make-believe? Especially if you can be a superhero! This kit comes with four authentic Marvel Super Hero capes and coordinating eye masks for Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Thor. This is sure to be a Christmas favorite!

And if your little guy is too small for these capes, these Marvel onesies are great alternatives!

3 | Non-Toxic Rocks Crayon Set

These crazy crayon rocks are too cool! There are 64 rock-shaped, solid color crayons in a box, and they are made and packaged in the USA with 100% recycled, non-toxic materials. They fit perfectly in a child’s hand for coloring inside the lines or doodling. I love that it’s an earth-conscious choice for all crayon users and great for school and home.

4 | Wooden Tabletop Paper Roll Dispenser and 3-Pack Easel Paper Roll

Let him express his creative side! This convenient wooden tabletop paper dispenser, preloaded with a 75-foot roll of premium white bond paper, sets your boy up for artistic good times. The child-safe tear strip makes it easy for him to tear off just what he needs.

Need more papers? We recommend getting three replacement paper rolls to refill your Tabletop Paper-Roll Dispenser. Each roll holds 75 feet of premium heavyweight bond paper that’s ideal for crayons, markers, colored pencils, stamp projects, or paint.

5 | Twister

This game always creates lots of laughs and good times. Parents like it because it is very easy for kids to set up and take down. It also allows five or six kids to play at once so the little boy in your life can play with family members or friends. Onlookers seem to have about as much fun as those playing it, so it’s a win for everyone. 🙂

6 | Stomp Rocket Extreme

This cool Stomp Rocket Extreme is 100% kid-powered and had to be added to our holiday gift guide for little boys. Just run, jump and STOMP to launch these rockets up to 400 feet in the air — that’s longer than a football field, including the end zones! It’s been a favorite amongst many little boys. Stomp Rocket Extreme is strong and durable and great for active outdoor play. It includes 6 Extreme Stomp Rockets, Flame Stickers, and a Stomp Launcher.

7 | Lego Classic Creative Brick Box

This collection of LEGOs in 35 different colors will encourage open-ended building play and inspire any imagination. It comes with windows, eyes, and lots and lots of wheels. You can suggest a story-starter to get their creativity going, like an undersea adventure or a day at the zoo, and watch what “out-of-the-box” creations they come up with. Or you can suggest one of the included building ideas to get things started. Either way, this set allows imaginations to run wild!

8 | Kids Area Rug

Your little one will love this play rug’s vibrant and fun colors. He can spend hours deciding which road to take or what building to go to—fill up at the gas station, send dangerous drivers to the police station, and drop off your letters at the post office. If you’re on a quest for toys made to inspire, educate and ignite the imagination, this option is for you.

9 | Green Toys

What little boy doesn’t love cool trucks, planes, and submarines? Those items are all must-haves on best gifts for little boys guides.

They’re also made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic milk jugs (HDPE #2 plastic) that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With no external coatings, paints, or dyes, this super-safe, durable toy is good for the earth and safe and fun for little ones.

The special “hang-on-the-wall” design makes for easy storage.

To accommodate even the littlest hoop star, you can adjust the height to six settings between 2 and 4 feet. The oversize rim and kid-size basketball ensure easy scoring and help kids develop hand-eye coordination while providing the right challenge level. Before play, add sand to the base for stability. It comes with 3 Junior sized basketballs, but here is a replacement set of 2 if some get lost.
