The Best Gifts for Tween Boy

A big shout out to all the boy moms who helped me out with this post! It’s good to know that I hadn’t forgotten all the fun classic gifts, even though it’s been 10 years since I’ve had a tween boy in the house (where did the time go?). And it was neat to learn about what is trending now….hover boards, for real?
