Buying Gifts For a Teenage Boy Without Breaking the Bank

You should be able to buy a teenage boy a gift nowadays that he will use and appreciate without spending half your salary to do so. It is expected for adolescent boys to desire the latest technology and want to be equipped with the most high tech gadgets. But sometimes the funds don't allow this to be reality. So instead of not buying them anything at all or going into debt how about getting him something that is affordable and that will be impressive as well.

Video Games: Of course gaming systems are on the wish list of every adolescent boy any time of the year, and since there is a new system every year the manufacturers never seem to keep them away from want. But instead of buying a whole new game system how about just getting new games for the systems that the recipient already owns. You can purchase new games at competitive prices at your local gaming store or online, and you can also find some gently used ones being auctioned off at reasonable prices all over the web.

Music: Now that downloading music is the new craze with teen boys you can give him a gift of downloads. Using an iTunes prepaid card (which is available at your local grocery store or pharmacy) you can give the recipient a chance to get as many songs that the card can purchase. You can also send him a gift certificate through email giving him credit to shop for music at the iTunes store.

Movies A trip to the movies has become awfully expensive these days. So bring the movies to him by giving him a Netflix movie membership. You can also throw in some snacks, drinks, and a couple of his friends and throw a movie party for him.

Shopping Trip Give him a chance to go shopping with a gift card to his favorite store. The great thing about gift cards is that you get to control how much is put on the card (most of the time) ,making it easier to stay in your budget. You may also want to consider the very affordable e-gift cards that are specifically garnered towards the interests of young men. They give savvy teenage boy the opportunity to shop for the gifts he wants from the comfort of their computer.

When it comes the the adolescent boy gift-shopping can be a little tricky and frustrating. So don't be afraid to just ask him what he wants. If you want to surprise him try asking his friends what they think would be great gift ideas. Ultimately do what feels most comfortable for you and never be pressured to spend more than you have. He might like the gift for a day or two ,but you will be stuck with the debt for a pretty long time.
