How to find a unique birthday gift for your son

Remember gifts that are amusing, stimulating, or informational will always beat out things like shoes and colognes. Here is a chance for you to use your observation and memory skills. Ask yourself about things you have seen when spending time with him, even the smallest details can inspire a great birthday gift idea for him.

Look for things that are fun that also centers on his interests. Like if he is into cars or blocks, then look for something related to that. If his birthday is a little way off, you could ask him about what he likes. Don't bring up the birthday just ask general questions, so you get more broad ideas.

If none of that works for you try to make it something that he won’t see coming. Like tickets to a game or a kid-friendly science exhibit, those kinds of gifts build lasting memories and help shape better people.

This one may seem obvious to parents, but it's worth saying it anyway. Make sure if you get a toy or play-set that it's age-appropriate. Look for age rage labeling on the packaging to make sure it safe for his. This is very important!

Ask some other parents with boys the same age to get more information about what's trending with boys today. Make a plan with your spouse so that you don't go over budget and you can coordinate your efforts.

Cash and gift cards are pretty great because they get to pick things for themselves. Also, the bonus here is that you can shop with him and help guide him.

An outstanding gift is always one that involves nostalgic thoughts. This final suggestion is a gift that celebrates your son's life. It is a beautiful and personalized gift that you can give your son.
