\"Sean,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sean, my youngest son, is turning 9 this month. I can hardly believe that this amazing little boy has been a part of our family for so long. If you are shopping for a young boy, below are (in my opinion) the\u00a09 best birthday gifts for a 9-year-old boy.

Sean is our creative, compassionate<\/a> little one and I\u2019m so grateful to be \u201cSean\u2019s mom\u201d. Both of my sons have birthdays that fall within a few months of Christmas, so it can be challenging to come up with new gift ideas. Fortunately, they help me come up with ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Birthday Gifts for a 9-Year-Old Boy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Books:<\/strong> Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (Old School \u2013 Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book 10<\/a>); the Harry Potter series (Pre-order Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I & II<\/a>) and Rick Riordan books ((Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 1: The Sword of Summer<\/a>) are all great options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Charitable gifts:<\/strong> If there is a cause that is near and dear to the kid\u2019s heart, you can skip giving them a gift altogether. Rather, donate money or gifts to their favorite charity. (i.e. That charity would be God\u2019s Love We Deliver<\/a> for Sean.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Classes:<\/strong> Once again, this depends on the kid. To my pleasant surprise, Sean really enjoys ballet. (He was chosen to participate in a special ballet school program and he\u2019s doing really well.) For him, I would get ballet, acting or cooking classes as a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Clothes:<\/strong> Since Sean loves clothes, gift cards to his favorite stores are always welcome gifts. (You can see the 10 Stores to Shop for Tween Boys Clothes<\/a> post for store suggestions.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Electronics:<\/strong> Tech is very popular with kids. The Verizon Ellipsis Kids<\/a> tablet is Sean\u2019s current favorite tech. (The new Nintendo 3DS XL is a close second.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Experience\/Event Gifts:<\/strong> Think about the local events or experiences that he might enjoy. For instance, Sean and I are going to see the Gazillion Bubble Show<\/a> later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Movie gift cards:<\/strong> We\u2019re taking Sean to see Kung Fu Panda 3<\/a> this week as an early gift since we all enjoyed the earlier Kung Fu Panda movies. (DVD gifts of his\u00a0favorite movies and\/or television shows are also great options.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Toys and Games:<\/strong> What has he been asking for lately? Sean has been asking for a punching bag. (If you\u2019re not consistently around the birthday child, ask his parents for ideas.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. Video Games:<\/strong> Splatoon<\/a> and LEGO Dimensions<\/a> are the two games left over from Sean\u2019s holiday wish list. You can read 14 Video Game Gifts for Grade School Boys<\/a> for more great video game options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Did I miss any of your 9-year-old <\/strong><\/em>son\u2019s favorites? If so, please let me know. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
