As always, the list for the fellas is significantly shorter than my teen girl gift guide. And drastically different. I can’t even break his down into categories because it’s all so random.
Believe it or not, the one thing Bodie seems most excited about is Factor meals. We have a problem in our house and that is the fact that Bodie does not like snacks. He wants full blown meals all day long. While I love his excitement for food and enjoy cooking for him, it’s just not possible to keep up with his feeding schedule. I’ve seen Factor meals pop up in my Instagram feed for years and thought they look delicious. It never occurred to me to order these for Bodie. However, one of his friends was recently raving about the protein meals from Factor and Bodie wants to try. They’re not cheap, but I’ll gladly pay for healthy meals that I do not have to cook after school as I’m simultaneously trying to get our dinner cooked as well. If you’re trying to keep a teen boy fed, look no further: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27181042

The next random item on his list is a motocross helmet. Many of the boys around here are very into e dirt bikes. I honestly don’t know enough to suggest one; I’m letting Ben handle this. I’m not even sure if I’m on board with this idea. Clearly he needs a helmet if he’s getting a dirt bike. This Fox Racing is what Bodie wants should he get the bike. I like that it’s full face. If your son is getting a dirt bike from Santa, you may want to look into these helmets: https://amzn.to/4q03rqu

Gotta have the goggles, too! https://amzn.to/48PWfXU

I shared Lola Blankets on my teen girl gift guide, but Bodie is the child who actually asked for one first! His friend has one and told Bodie it’s the best blanket ever and he cannot sleep without it. They’re expensive, but apparently have a cult following. https://go.shopmy.us/p-27145679 Check for deals and promo codes as they frequently run sales.

I don’t know if Bodie’s friends (and my nephew) necessarily know what they’re doing with this set, but it’s been a big hit among the athletes. I’d supervise, but cupping is having a moment. Maybe I can borrow. https://amzn.to/3Wq7dfl

Bodie’s current iPad has been through the trenches. He’s had it for years and still uses it every day. He loves it for flights and long car rides. He still prefers an iPad over a phone. This is a great price for an Air, thanks to Prime Deal Days! https://amzn.to/4q0CXVS

Bodie constantly asks Ben to film him while skiing. Unfortunately for Bodie, Ben NEVER remembers to charge his GoPro. Bodie skis without his dad quite a bit now, so I think he’s due for his own. He’ll also enjoy mounting it on his dirt bike, should he get one. I am sure he will love having his for our upcoming ski trips. The new GoPro Max 2 is getting a lot of hype, but I actually think the Hero 13 is best for Bodie’s needs. Good news…it’s on sale! https://amzn.to/3WsFzyk

Emery received a Turtlebox speaker for her 16th birthday and it was the VIP of our summer vacations. They float. They’re waterproof. They provide excellent sound and the Gen 3 has a “party mode” which enables multiple speakers to connect to one device. It’s the best speaker we’ve ever owned. These speakers were at every chair lift in Steamboat last season, which put them on our radar. I can’t think of a teenager (boy or girl) who wouldn’t be thrilled to get a Turtlebox. More to come on it’s little brother, the Ranger. But shop here for the Gen 3: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27234192

The only clothing item Bodie has specifically mentioned is a pair of Alo waffle weave pants. I don’t think these will work out size wise, but I’m on the hunt for something similar. Please let me know if you have any ideas. For those of you with bigger/older fellas, they might like these: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27248463

Terribly boring, but I’m ending with socks. I guess the teen boys are into this height now??? Bodie bought a pack of these at Dick’s over the summer and they are slowly disappearing. I like some practical stocking stuffers. https://amzn.to/4mXOBhE

It’s not much, but it’s a start. Happy shopping!
