This week, I visited Global Regina News Morning and shared some tips for a hard-t0-buy-for group: tweens and teens. Beyond the allure of electionics (which is the only thing my 12 year old has on his list!) what do parents and loved ones shop for? I sourced items from Sport Chek that I thought would make great gifts for this age group – check out the video below!
Here are my top gift ideas if you, like me, have a tween (or teen) boy on your list (though admittedly, my daughter would love most of this too!)
Wilson X Connected Basketball – Size 7 ($249.99)
Talk about technology and sport coming together! The Wilson X Basketball gives you the game-changing edge by tracking your shots and tallying your stats. Make/Miss Technology™ inside the ball detects when a shot goes in or out of the basket, while the Wilson X app tracks and displays those stats in real-time on your phone.
Under Armour Curry 3 “Dub Nation” Kids’ Pre School Basketball Shoes $99.99
If you’re a fan of Stephen Curry, getting your little guy or girl these may be a holiday goal. Or, perhaps you’re like me, and more of a fan of Baby Curry, better known as Stuff Curry and @babylandonlee on Instagram. Baby Curry is Jessica Benton’s little guy, a mommy blogger like me and someone I consider a friend in the blogging world (Jessica does website design on the side and has helped FF&F in the past!) Whenever I see Stephen Curry, I now think of Landon. I think it’s supposed to be the other way around, but I know who the more famous of the two really us (Go Landon!) Regardless of which one you adore most, you can find more Stephen Curry items at Sport Chek in store and online!
Under Armour Outdoor Storm Icon Caliber Kids’ Hoodie $64.99
Kids stay warm in this luxurious hoodie with UA Storm Armour® Fleece that has brushed inner layers that trap heat for all-day warmth. It’s highly water-resistant UA Storm technology repels moisture but retains light breathability and the fuller cut offers superior mobility.
Toronto Blue Jays 59Fifty Home Game Cap $42.99
With a flat brim to keep the sun out of your eyes as you watch the ball at Rogers Stadium, the Toronto Blue Jays 59Fifty Home Game Cap is the perfect cap for home games. The fitted hat features ventilation eyelets to keep your head cooler on hot days.
adidas Euro 16 Mini Soccer Ball $15.99
Play past your opponents with this high-quality soccer ball. The durable machine stitching and soft touch respond to your feet for accurate pass control as you go on attack. Official graphics honor Europe’s premier tournament.
