How to choose for your son
- Base the gift on activities he did this past year, not ones he tried once or years ago.
- Match sports equipment to his age and size, such as the right ball size or glove fit.
- For a brass or woodwind instrument, check with his music teacher about the right model and size.
- Younger kids often love role play sets tied to jobs they admire, like chef, firefighter or builder.
Usually safe to skip
- Adult-size sports gear he will struggle to use for several more years.
- An instrument he has shown no interest in learning, which tends to gather dust.
- Role play sets for older kids who have outgrown pretend play.
Questions people ask about gifts for your son
- What do I get my son who loves sports?
- Upgrade gear he already uses, such as a better soccer ball, basketball or baseball glove sized for him. Items tied to his current team or position tend to get the most use.
- Is a musical instrument a good Christmas gift for a kid?
- It works best when he already plays or has asked to learn. Check with a teacher or school band program on the right type and size before choosing a brass or woodwind instrument.
- What age are pretend play sets best for?
- Role play and pretend profession sets usually suit preschool and early school-age kids, roughly three to eight. Older kids may still enjoy them if they have a specific interest like cooking or building.
