Gifts for 11 Year Old Boys
Another year, another list of top gifts we’re eyeing for our one and only son. As our kids grow up, gifting becomes more and more difficult. I miss the days of Paw Patrol action figures and bey blades. Now we’re on to all things sports, gaming and activities to do with friends.
That being said, I think I’ve created a FANTASTIC gift guide this year with great ideas for your special 11 year old. This list includes necessities like clothes and water bottles as well as fun activities relating to favorite sports! I hope this gift guide guides you to the perfect gift for 11 year old boys!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
- Lego Set – Affordable and complex enough fun to keep him entertained
- Sports Ball Backpack – PERFECT size to fit shoes and whatever ball he needs for his favorite sport
- Soccer Ball – A new ball for his favorite sport! Soccer is definitely it in our house and we love the neon color balls so we can easily find ours after practice.
- Foosball Table – Perfect for family fun or fun with friends.
- Fresh Water Bottle – My kids go through water bottles like they go through shoes… it feels like we need to replace these every 6 months and we love going with an insulated one that’s easy to clean and doesn’t leak.
- Swim Trunks – Or snow gear or hiking boots! Really just use this as inspiration to get him clothing to go along with a favorite outdoor activity.
- High Tops – Love these colors!
- Basic Socks
- NFL Trading Cars – Okay so this is my FAVORITE gift idea. We buy Sawyer sports trading cards each Christmas so he can build his collection year over year. I was hesitant to share because I love this tradition so much and want to keep it as our own but also need to share it because it’s so good and will be a great go to as long as he loves sports!
- Trading Card Binder – Keep those cards safe!
- Puzzle – A great way to stay busy off of screens when there is nothing else to do.
- Water Football – Another favorite I’ll always include because we love ours so much.
That wraps up this post on gift ideas for 11 year old boys!
