What gifts to choose for a boy 11 years old on his birthday? Toys, clothes, sweets, football tickets ... It all depends on his interests, social status, teenage needs. So, for one child, a trip to a bowling alley or a water park will become a bright event, and for another - a commonplace, one will enjoy a huge plastic tractor, and another will get tired of electric cars. Yet an eleven-year-old is easier to please than an eighteen-year-old.

Ordinary gifts for 11 years old boy: pros and cons

1. Computer games. If the child adequately relates to the Internet, computer games, devotes them no more than twenty minutes a day, then you can give the latest version of the desired game. However, most often teenagers suffer from Internet addiction, so such gifts are undesirable.
2. Clothing. The tastes of children are completely different, they have their own worldview and outlook, so it will be difficult to choose clothes without a boy. You can take a birthday boy to the store and buy models according to his taste. Just keep in mind that sometimes their desires do not match the estimated budget.
3. Toys For 11 year old boys, pick up more adult toys. If this is a car with a radio remote control, then it should be of impressive size. Do not buy helicopters, cars and other vehicles on poor quality radio control - they will break in a few days, and the child will have an unpleasant residue.
4. Constructor. Choose an adult designer so that you can build architectural buildings.
5. Educational games. Any puzzles, economic, strategic games must be age appropriate. If a boy easily collects puzzles from a thousand pieces, then buy more than five thousand. If a teenager is determined to connect his life with finances, get "Monopoly". If the child is not interested, then it is not necessary to give such gifts.
6. Books. What to buy a 11 year old boy from encyclopedias and fiction? You need to consult with the birthday man and his parents, since you can make a mistake both with the taste of the child (if he is a book lover) and with educational requirements (if you take the encyclopedia).

2. Portrait as a design element. It is also popular to give T-shirts, mugs, saucers, plates with the image of a birthday person. But the boys at this age will be attracted by completely different gifts. At 11 years old, it is better for the boy not to give souvenirs - he will not understand them.
3. Subscription to the entertainment center. The sociable teenager will like to spend all day with his beloved friends in the entertainment center, where food and all games are paid. Please note that there are children who do not like noisy establishments and crowds, so a couple of hours for different attractions will be enough for them.

What to give a boy 11 years old to get to the "point"?

Eleven years is the age when a boy already has his own taste, attitudes, interests, preferences. You can find out in advance what he is interested in and what he wants to receive. Sometimes the needs of a teenager are incommensurable with the finances of the donor.

Then, together with parents and other relatives, you can add up to one expensive gift. Sometimes parents allow adults to give money for their birthday so that the child saves it for the purchase of the gift of their dreams. But this situation needs to be discussed in advance.

For a gift to remain a surprise, for a few months just discuss his hobbies with a teenager. Maybe the boy collects collectible cars or ships, then you can buy rare models.

It is optimal to discuss the issue of gifts with the child’s parents, if it concerns clothing, educational games, expensive equipment, and sports equipment. Since there are times when they give a teenager the same toys. For 11-year-old boys, it is still not gifts that come to the fore, but a celebration with friends.

How to mark at home?

Preparing for the birthday is necessary in advance. The child prescribes a list of guests and offers themes, and already mom will have to prepare dishes and design an apartment for the selected plot. For example, the boy is a fan of Harry Potter, then you need to think about the attributes for the guests (school badges, raincoats), competitions, dishes.

This plot simplifies cooking. It is enough to set cups with individual ingredients and magic names on the table, and each child is given a list of different salads. Children mix in themselves proportions of ingredients and receive a "potion".

For a birthday of 11 years, the boy can be invited to the artists in costumes of fairy-tale characters. They can propose a script, contests in advance, parents will only have to take on home decoration and cooking. Before inviting artists, review their portfolio in videos, pay attention to the emotions of children (sometimes the jokes of fairy-tale characters are understandable only to adults).

How to celebrate on the street?

If the weather allows, then it is better to spend a holiday in American tradition. Tables with appetizers, tartlets, canapes, sandwiches, fruits and berries are in one corner under a canopy. And the whole territory is involved in outdoor games, competitions. In this option, mothers do not have to worry about dirty dishes, just buy disposable plates and glasses. From adults only organizational and judicial work in competitions is required.

Another option is to go out with family, relatives and friends. First, you can catch fish with the children, then cook the fish soup, baked fish, vegetables. In nature, adults are more relaxed and can play ball, rope, catch-up with children. In this version, military and sports toys for 11 year old boys are suitable for gifts: crossbows, water guns, badmintons, darts, tennis.

The advantage of street walks is that the children are not limited in their movements and games, their mothers are freed from dirty dishes, cleaning the house, and carefully choosing decorations for the holiday. But a small drawback is that you have to prepare a lot of dishes, because during games in the fresh air there is a “brutal” appetite.

Self Celebration: Pros and Cons

Many teens want to spend their own holiday without the presence of adults. In this case, you need to look at the behavior of the child. If the teenager is tidy at the usual time, then you can not be afraid for the condition of the house, just discuss the games for boys 11 years old, permissible in the apartment. If he makes a mess, but wants a holiday without adults, then there are several options.

1. Teenagers walk in the children's room, and parents act as a waiter. Some children are quite satisfied with this option, as they are left to their own devices, but at the same time the table is replenished with the necessary products.
2. Children walk in one room, adults celebrate in another. In this version, the birthday man takes on part of the obligations: he himself entertains the guests, he himself watches the provisions.
3. Teenagers remain in the house alone and serve themselves. In this case, the arrival time of the parents is discussed, when the apartment should be put in order.

Contests

If parents want to spend the holiday at home, then they are worried about two questions: “What to give the boy 11 years old?” and "What contests, games to hold?" It is important to consider the theme of the birthday and the interests of children. If the holiday is dedicated to magic, then the intellectual, dance, and mobile competitions are dedicated to magical heroes.

Do not arrange quizzes on the school curriculum (children immediately lose interest). If a purely male campaign, you do not need to conduct dance competitions. It’s better to shift organizational responsibilities to dad.

For children of eleven years, contests of riddles, guessing literary heroes, puzzles, charades are suitable. They play drawing contests and compose fairy tales for a while. If you conduct outdoor games at home for boys of 11 years old, then a contest for popping balls, drawing an animal with closed eyes, picking up puzzles or a machine from the constructor for speed, squats, push-ups is suitable.

Handmade Cakes

Many people like to give author's cake as a gift. This is not true. The child is waiting for a gift that will directly remain in his memory, and a cake is most likely a present to the surprise of all guests. Not every birthday person is given a cake in the form of a car, fishing, tank, football field, with computer, fairy-tale characters. Even less often they give a cake for a 11 year old boy with his copies, that is, the figure is made exactly according to the photograph (such a mastic doll is used as a decorative element). Therefore, always add another souvenir to the sweet gift.
