Looking for holiday gift ideas for 9-year-old boys? Check out my suggestions:) I’m a boy mom times three, so I’ve had lots of experience buying gifts for boys over the years. Kids this age are fun to buy for because they still love toys plus they love active toys, creative toys, and their inquisitive minds still love learning toys as well. I hope you find some great ideas here for the boy in your own life!

I’m sure many girls would love these gifts too;)

I love a good deal on NFL gear! A top fave at my home of boys!

List of Gifts for 9-year-old Boys:

Rip Stick

My son loves his rip stick. He has two, one for outside and one for inside. Yep, I do mean inside. He zips around the kitchen on it. Having an indoors rip stick is great because it gives him an outlet for pent-up energy, which is especially important in the cold winters.

Circuit Kit Educational Toy

We have this brand of circuit kit and it has brought my son many hours of enjoyment. The booklet that comes with the kit gives many set-ups to build for of fun.

Thinking about summer in the winter! Dreaming of summer and fun pool floats like this one my boys have loved using in our pool

Super fun for hours of playtime that is active and gives them exercise. A great option for young boys to get them outside and active. This is a true kid pleaser!

Buddy Bumper Ball

This needs no explanation…look how much fun that thing is! Plus, they are wrapped up in air bubbles, protected. A mom’s dream come true! Best for outside though due to the size of it;) Buy more than one so kids can bump in to each and a fall down on purpose just for fun!

I Spy Game

A total favorite at our house for all three of my boys. They are speedy spotters, often quicker than I am at finding the items on the cards. This is a fun activity we do together before bedtime or when it’s rainy outside, or too cold to play outside in the winter.

Jenga

We love this game at our house. We take it camping, play it at home, on the deck or patio. It’s great fun for multiple ages, including adults. A true fun classic that never gets old year after year.

Chair or Bean Bag

We have this bean bag with a bed inside. My son sits on this bean bag to watch tv or play a video game every day. It’s a great addition to the living and with a bed inside, it works out perfect for sleepovers too.

As a mom, I adore these water balloons because they self-fill. Ha! So awesome! Plus, they are biodegradable so they will eventually break down so no one has to pick them up. Sheer genius! These are great for parties or just for a hot summer afternoon. No explanation needed, boys just love water balloon fights!

This game is so much fun and my boys laugh so hard when they play this game. I won’t play it with them, I don’t want whipped cream all over my face, but they love it and eat it when they get splatted. Super fun game!

DVD Disney bingo

This is a favorite pick at our house when we play a game. We’ve played this game for years and enjoyed it. The little video clips are so fun to watch too.

Sports Gear

Any sports gear works great as a gift. Just pick the favorite sport of the young boy and buy sports gear to go with that sport. At our house, my son loves the mini football goal posts.

Snow Block Maker

My son has hours of fun making snow forts using this snow block maker. Boys can get outdoor time and get creative with this snow shaper. It’s great for sand in the summer too.

Snowball Maker

Boys will love using this snowball maker. It will help the shape snowballs quickly so they can make a pile quick for the big snowball fight with their friends or siblings because chucking snowballs at one’s brother is the most fun activity of all!

Play Snow Tent

This is perfect for a snowball fight shelter! Or, bring it inside and it makes a great reading hangout, my son does this and puts it on the bed and reads in it. It is sold at a very reasonable price. It would be a great addition to an indoor fort too.

Portable Hammock

Bring it camping in the summer, set it up in the backyard, put in your son’s room or off a loft bed. My son moves it around all on his own and ties the ropes…just make sure he knows how to tie them tight enough so he doesn’t fall. Very lightweight and affordable.

Karate Boards that Kids Kick or Chop to Break

My son used to take karate lessons so he used his Christmas money to buy these boards to practice with and although he no longer takes the karate lessons, he loves to still use these boards. After they are broken apart by a strong force to the center, they can be easily reassembled by sliding one piece into the groove of the other. This is a great way to expend energy and improve both hand-eye coordination and strength. A perfect boredom buster for boys or girls. One person can hold up the boards or they can be placed on something for solo chops.

Minecraft Toys

Minecraft toys are still popular with 9-year-old boys like this TNT block plush. My son has this one and he loves sitting on it while he plays the game of Minecraft on the Xbox. It’s a fun squishy box to sit on!


Minecraft TNT Cube Red Cushion (14″x14″)

 

Star Shower Christmas Decoration to use for a Dance Party

This is a Christmas decoration we put up each year at our house during the holiday season. After the season was over, my son loved to grab it and set it up in his room for a dance party or in the garage to have going while rollerblading. This gives this decoration a dual purpose! It can be a decoration and a toy. However, don’t look directly into the laser because it can hurt your eyes.


Star Shower Motion Laser Light by BulbHead – Indoor Outdoor Laser Light for Hassle-Free Holiday Decorating – Sparking or Still Red and Green Laser Lights Cover up to 3200 Square Feet… (2 Pack)

 

Globe Maze Puzzle

This is a perfect holiday gift for kids who like mazes and puzzles. My son can spend hours on the couch occupied with this globe puzzle.

 


Perplexus Star Wars Death Star

 

Books: Great Gifts for 9-year-old Boys

Finding books kids are willing to read is the key to keeping them reading. I find with my boys if I help them find books they enjoy, they are so much more willing, and excited even, to read. These books for boys are great ideas for Christmas presents. Kid-approved!

Crimebiters (3 Book Series)

 


Captain Underpants: 10 Book Set


8 Books: The Notebook of Doom Collection – Rise of the Balloon, Chomp of the Meat Eating Vegetables, Whack of the P-Rex, Pop of the Bumpy Mummy & One More

Fart Gun

Well, to boys, farts are funny, all day every day all year long. It never gets old. If you can handle the sounds, get them this gun and they will love it!


Despicable Me 2 Fart Blaster – Press the Trigger for Fart Sounds

I hope you have found this list of gifts for 9-year-old boys useful:) I also hope your son, grandson, nephew, or friend has hours of enjoyment from the gifts! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and have a wonderful New Year!
