With guys this age hopping from one interest to another it can be difficult to know what would be the best gift to buy for boys this age.

In order to help we have put together a list of premium gifts that most 15 year old boys would be thrilled to receive.

When selecting gifts for boys age 15 we look at the following criteria.

We look at the entertainment value of gifts determining the durability of the gift, the item’s ability to hold the teen’s interest, and the length of time they are likely to continue using the item.

We also look at the usefulness of a gift. Can the teen use the item in a number of ways or for different activities? We try and determine whether or not the item can be used over a long period of time.
