The Fun Stuff: Gifts for Teen Boys

Once the boys got older, the Christmas list turned into clothes and money. Both are great. Neither is much fun to unwrap. So every year I add a few things that are just fun, for the part of Christmas morning that still feels like Christmas morning.

The Big One

Major Fitness Drone2 Smith Machine. Squat rack, cable crossover, lat pull-down and bench in one. For the athletes in the house, and honestly for the rest of us too.

What They'll Actually Wear

UGG Tasman Slipper. Every teen boy lives in these. Around the house, to the car, to school if you let them.

Vuori Kore Shorts. Gym, beach, couch. A hometown brand that started right here in Encinitas.

The Fun Stuff

Beats Pill Speaker. Seriously loud, water resistant, and 24 hours of battery. Locker room, car, backyard.

Zenaro Silent Basketball. Real game feel with no bounce noise. They can dribble in the house at 10pm and nobody loses their mind.

Flying Orb Ball. A light-up hover ball that boomerangs back to you. Teens will claim they're too old for it, then fight over it.

Let It Snow Instant Snow. Just add water. The closest a Southern California kid gets to a white Christmas.
