Don't have teens or never been one, I assume?

NP and I agree with that other poster. My nephew and my son are both teen boys and wear different shoes and different clothes. The same advice couldn’t be given for both. There is no general good advice to give. What one boy likes, another will hate.

The only common thing I would think any middle school or teen boy would like is money or food. A few years ago I saw someone suggest a box of cash. This suggestion has been a go to of mine since and a winner with my kids and niece and nephew.

DS has asked for wireless headphone, a huge lego set and v-bucks (Fortnite). We also got him some brain teaser puzzles, fishing stuff, ski gear and books. He really doesn't care about labels or brands yet for clothes so that hasn't creeped onto the list (yet!).

My MS and HS boys like a box of pan Asian snacks for Christmas. We do that every year.
