<\/p>\"Holiday\n

My two sons (ages 9 and 12) have been telling me their Christmas wish lists since September 22nd, the first day of fall<\/strong><\/span>. I told my oldest son to stop asking me for Christmas gifts until after Halloween\u2026so he started emailing me what he wanted. Touch\u00e9. Michael (12) and Sean (9) know that they only get three gifts each so I guess that they are just sharing everything that they want so that they can narrow their choices down to their top three in December. Anyway, I decided to keep a running list of their picks so that those of you with sons in this age range can have holiday gift ideas too! Below is their Top 25 \u201cBoy-Approved\u201d Holiday Gift Ideas for Tween Boys 2016:<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s Picks\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\n1.\u00a0Batman: Return to Arkham<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 2 The Hammer of Thor<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Comic Books: DC Comics\u00a0and\u00a0Marvel Comics are especially popular.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Nintendo Switch<\/a><\/p>\n

\"nintendo-switch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Xbox One Microphone Headset<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Gravity Falls: Journal 3<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Michael also wants the Injustice 2<\/a>, Overwatch<\/a> and Destiny<\/a> video games. Although we sometimes make exceptions, my husband and I are not big fans of first\u00a0person shooter games for kids. He will have to wait until he is 13 (in a few months?!) for us to consider purchasing those games as gifts for him.<\/p>\n

Sean\u2019s Picks
\n<\/strong><\/span>1.\u00a0Kirby: Planet Robobot <\/a>: \u201cIt looks cool. Kirby can turn into a robot.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Sun<\/a> or\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Moon<\/a>: \u201cNintendo is so smart. They do two versions with only one main difference. The only differences in these two are that one has legendary and that they are at different times of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Diary of a Wimpy Kid # 11: Double Down<\/a>: \u201cThere is always a new one around the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Harry Potter and the Cursed Child<\/a>:\u00a0Michael also wants\u00a0Harry Potter books 4-7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0LEGO Dimensions<\/a>: To his pleasant surprise, we received a LEGO Dimensions Starter Set and several game packs to review. (You can see him playing with them on the\u00a0Kids Love the LEGO Dimensions New Characters<\/a>\u00a0post.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy that there are several books mixed in with the video game requests. I\u2019ll take it! If you have any other\u00a0Holiday Gift Ideas for Tween Boys 2016, definitely let me know. (Now that I have shared their picks, I\u2019ll be sharing my own \u201cmom picks\u201d next week.)<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
