Popsocket Phone or Ipad Stand
What Are PopSockets? PopSockets are expanding grips and stands that attach to most phones, tablets, and cases. They come in different themes such as Sports, Galaxy, Beach, Camo and so many more! Add a single PopSocket, or a pair of PopSockets, to the back of almost any mobile device to transform its capabilities. PopSockets “pop” whenever you need a grip, a stand, an earbud-management system, or just something to play with. Remove your PopSocket by pulling slowly on the base; you can reposition and reattach time and time again. You’ll always have the exact grip or stand you need. PopSockets not only make terrific phone grips and phone stands, they also make holding tablets and e-readers more comfortable and secure. Whether you place PopSockets on your Nintendo 3DS for gaming, your GoPro for a supplemental grip in the water, or on your bedroom mirror to hang jewelry, the possibilities are endless. If you attach two PopSockets to your device you now have a convenient earbud-management system. Simply wrap the cord around the two PopSockets, and voila! No more tangly mess to deal with. Never Lose Grip on Your Phone or Tablet Again!
Skyjo Game
Don’t let the ugly box fool you! This game is highly-reviewed, fast-paced and great for tweens! In card game SKYJO the goal is to collect as few points as possible over the course of several turns as after every round every player’s points are counted and added to his score. As soon as a player reaches 100 points or more the player with the fewest points wins. Collecting the fewest points means to look for low or even negative numbers. Further excitement is added by several special rules, which for example make it possible to remove several cards (and with it points) from the game – this can lead to unexpected turns. This motivates daring decisions that might even come back to bite, if the other players can counter faster than expected.

My girls loved these! I got them most of the items on your list and they were thrilled and so were their friends.
I’m not sure why the title is “boys” because really, this list is pretty genderless as far as kids’ tastes go these days. Gone are the days of girls in pink playing with dollies and boys playing army…and thank goodness for that!
Melissa says
I am so glad your girls love these gift ideas. I agree that most gifts on the boy list are great for girls and most gifts on the girls list are great. We just split them to make it easier when people are searching.
Jen says
