My son wants a new tackle box (and a new rod, but the rod he wants is way too expensive)
They may "mystery tackle boxes" that are fun to open bc you don't know whats inside

I got my 16 year old some Nike Jordans. Those or Dunks are a good gift. AirPods or Beats are also good. He also wanted a chain so I bought him that. When he gets gift cards, I end up "buying" them from him and giving him cash (actually, depositing it in his account as kids that age don't use actual cash - they Venmo or Cash App each other). But if you want to do small gift cards, Chipotle, Chik-Fil-A, 7-11 - all good choices.

Why is it so hard to just give people what they actually want?
Because a gift is supposed to be about more than just the dollar value of the gift
It's
- i understand and know your likes and interests
- i spent my own time (more valuable than money) to think and purchase this gift
- I'm invested in your happiness and may try to expand your interests/learn new things
My kids get cash and gift cards sometimes, and while they're not disappointed with those, they GREATLY prefer real gifts.
But in this case, OP is referring to the opinions of strangers on the internet, so obviously a thoughtful, personal gift that shows “I understand and know your likes” isn’t in the cards.
Money is much better than anonymous time stamp 09:35’s opinion, no?

For boys that age:
Nike hoodies (but they have gotten crazy $$$)
Over the ear headphones (Beats)
Carhartt shirt/hoodie/beanie
Those ridiculous slides that look like sharks?
