Small gifts for teen boys

[Anonymous]

Looking for small gift ideas (less than $30, less than $15) for teen boy who loves fashion hoodies, cologne, and baseball. Trying not to give gifts that just go into the donation pile in a month.

Fancy hair pomade/wax. My teen son loves it.
You're not going to get the fashion hoodies or cologne at that price, but a fashion kind of guy might like a fancy male body wash (not axe). Look in the men's section at the drug store.

I have heard good things about this line: https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Squatch-Natural-Body-Deodorant/dp/B0DFZJWYQS?th=1

Other ideas: apple air tag, hot chocolate mixes, fancy marshmallows, other consumables like candy from the japanese game store, etc.

Right, but PP is responding to a question about boys. Nothing misogynistic here, but you know this. Don't be a pot stirrer for no reason.

Wow, OP! We have identical sons!

In addition to $$$-requested baseball-related stuff, I ordered Nike socks to replace the very used ones, a specific stress ball thing a doctor recommended on a podcast - she recommends it to her acne patients who are tempted to pick - Schylling NeeDoh Nice Cube... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQNQ1ZVZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Some candy - the kids like Joyride- mints, will get gum and will do a body wash in the stocking.

I am interested in getting him some cologne in a small size if anyone has recs! And will check to see if he needs more hair paste/powder.

Dicks has a holiday baseball card set for $30 that my teen baseball player likes. Otherwise, scratchers, gift card to chipotle?

Got mine a fun/ny seasonal phone case. He requested.

For stocking, I got my 14, almost 15, yo Jack Black moisturizer, an origins face wash, Burt’s Bees lip balm, styling powder, chopsticks fir ramen, reusable straws, and will put in a couple of small gift cards to Chipotle and Wendy’s. And a fish ornament (he likes fishing and I’ve bought him an ornament every year so when he’s grown and moves out he has some ornaments of his own).

I actually got my teen athlete a massage gun from Macy's. They're on sale. I hope it's good because I've never used one. But I'm tired of massaging his shoulders after games

Also, cologne tester gifts sets are good, but they seem to be all sold out for this year.

OP here. Those Needoh cubes are awesome - didn’t think of it as a good fidget toy to keep from picking his face but that’s a great idea!

For cologne- an older boy recommended Replica. Sephora sells a sample set for $30ish.
