Gift Ideas for a 16 Year Old Boy
Gale Force Nine Dune Board Game
Bulldozer absolutely loves the Dune movies and he loves board games.
I love that this gift combines two things he loves and will encourage him to read the entire Dune book series.
The game will also provide fun times with family and friends.
Sports Attire
Bulldozer loves to wear sports attire with his favorite team logos.
He loves sports and is so proud of his teams.
Sports attire can be so comfortable and sensory friendly, which is always very important for Bulldozer.
The Singer's Musical Theater Anthology Teen's Edition: Tenor with CDs
Bulldozer has become very involved in theater this year.
He has shown a special interest in singing and has asked me for voice lessons.
A vocalist myself, I'm super excited to share this passion with him.
I've chosen this book to use for his voice lessons and have grabbed the CDs to go with it. A digital download option is available. I just prefer CDs.
10 Sessions of Private Dance Lessons and Tap Shoes
One of Bulldozer's two experience gifts this Christmas includes 10 sessions of private dance lessons with the choreographer from the last musical he participated in.
Bulldozer loves to dance and is open to learning anything.
His choreographer mentioned it would be advantageous for Bulldozer to not only learn ballet and jazz, but to also learn tap dancing.
She helped me find the perfect tap shoes for him, which will give him something to open on Christmas.
I'll put the certificate for the dance lessons in the shoes.
10 Sessions of Acting Lessons and A Young Actor Prepares Book
One of Bulldozer's passion has always been cinema.
This passion has now extended to acting. He absolutely loved participating in this fall's musical and really shined on stage.
At age 16, this was Bulldozer's first time acting. He wants to learn more.
I am so excited I was able to arrange 10 acting lessons from the acting instructor he worked with throughout the fall.
So that Bulldozer would have something to open and enjoy before the lessons start, I went ahead and ordered him an acting book for high schoolers.
Watch
Bulldozer isn't one to carry his cell phone everywhere with him.
He's also not the best at keeping track of time.
I'm hoping this watch will help him in the best ways.
It includes the logo of his favorite football team, so I'm hoping he'll like it.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
As I said before, Bulldozer is very passionate about cinema.
Godzilla movies are some of his favorites. He's been collecting them for a while. This is one he doesn't have yet.
No one in the family has seen this movie yet, so it will be fun to watch it together.
Backpack Cooler with Containers and Water Bottles
If there's one thing we've learned this fall, it's that theater practices run long and occur often.
Bulldozer needs food and drinks to keep him going, especially when he has long dance rehearsals.
This bag is the perfect size to pack everything he needs.
I've included a couple water bottles and containers as well.
Plants Vs. Zombies Battle for Neighborville Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch and SanDisk 128GB Card
Bulldozer has been asking for this video game for months.
He really loves the Plants Vs. Zombies games and has several for his Xbox.
Now he's trying to collect them for his Nintendo Switch.
Knowing he'll most likely need extra memory at some point, I included an SD card with this gift.
Football Cards
Bulldozer enjoys football cards just as much as his brother, though he doesn't have quite as many.
This year he's asked for a BIG set.
I'm excited to give this set to him.
Bulldozer and his brother spend hours together sorting and having fun with football cards on a daily basis.
LEGO Set
There is never a time when LEGO goes out of fashion for teen boys, or so I've learned.
Bulldozer loves collecting Marvel and Star Wars sets, especially those that include a lot of characters and lots of figures.
He displays the vehicles in his room on special shelves for all to see.
The LEGO figures are used in a variety of ways.
Backpack with Nintendo Switch Case
Bulldozer's backpack was stolen this summer, while playing ball with his friends at a local park. He looked away for a few seconds and it was gone.
Truth be told, he was in need of a new backpack anyways. He needs something to store music, dance shoes, and more going to and from theater practices.
I absolutely love the backpack we chose. It is so nice!
We are huge fans of Eddie Bauer bags as they last years and in some cases decades. The Switch case is being included to add just a little more fun to the gift, and is also something that is needed.
Santa Gift: Sports Team Jersey
Bulldozer absolutely loves basketball. He has wanted a jersey from his favorite team of his favorite player for quite some time.
He'll be the first in the house to receive a basketball jersey, so it's a pretty big deal.
I love that I'm able to give this to him.
Hadestown Christmas Ornament
Hadestown will always be remembered as Bulldozer's first theater performance.
He absolutely LOVED his first show in every way.
This ornament will be placed on our memory tree, so that he can remember the experience every Christmas season from now on.
The ornament is absolutely beautiful!
Christmas Eve Book: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Book
Bulldozer has always been a huge fan of The Hunger Games books, but has yet to read the prequel.
This year I'm checking this off his list.
I'm hoping that a book that is related to his favorite series will be the perfect read on Christmas Eve night.
The Icelandic Christmas tradition of a new book and chocolates on Christmas Eve is one of my favorites!
Christmas Eve Chocolate: Assorted Dark Lindt Truffles
Bulldozer and I are kindred spirits when it comes to our chocolate preferences.
He and I LOVE dark chocolate and Lindt truffles.
It only seems fitting to give him this wonderful assorted truffle package to enjoy.
I hope these gift ideas inspire!
