Best Gift Guide for 7-Year-Old Boys (2025 Gift Guide for Christmas & Birthdays)
REAL GIFTS MY REAL 7 YEAR OLD SON LOVES IN 2025!
If you're shopping for a 7-year-old boy, you already know they’re full of curiosity, energy, and big ideas. Whether you're looking for birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, or just fun ways to surprise your little guy, this list is packed with tried-and-true toys and gifts my son has loved—or ones that come highly recommended by fellow moms in the Elevate Motherhood community.
Glow Football
Glow makes anything cooler and every 7 year old boy would love to throw this around!
We have 2 of these and my son literally plays with both at the same time. We have bought these for many friends this year too!
Paper Airplane Book
Level-up your paper airplanes with this book! It comes with a how-to guide and lots of really cool paper you can actually use to build your airplanes!
Think rubiks cube but much easier! My son and his friends were all playing with one of these the other day and loved it!
This is what my son really wants this year!
Blitzee
Think old-school tamagachi but reimagined. My son has actually played with this quite a bit! It's pretty fun to earn new characters and take care of them.
3-D Writing Pen
THIS was probably my son's favorite gift this year. And only $40ish. It's a great intro to 3-D Printers!
Who Would Win Books
Literally any book in the "Who Would Win" series would be perfect for a 7 year old boy! My son loves them ALL. They are packed with facts.
THIS Wall-Crawler Gecko
My son got this for his birthday and it was the first thing he wanted to play with and he still loves it!
Favorite NBA Team PJs
My son wears these as often as possible! The shirt is honestly cute enough to wear as a regular shirt, which he has done several times. It's a win-win! I sized up one size (like I usually do for PJs) and they are perfect.
Favorite Team Throw Blanket
7 year old boys love getting hyped up for their favorite teams! This is a fun idea- my son has a very similar one that has stayed on his bed every night since he got it!
Favorite College Neon Sign
This is on my list of things to get my son for Christmas. How COOL and a great price.
Wall-Climbing RC Car
What boy wouldn't love this? Honestly, my husband thinks it's just as cool as my son does. So fun!
X-Shot ("nerf") Insanity
These are so fun. My son's friend had a birthday party where each kid brought their nerf guns to a park and they all thought it was THE GREATEST. Such a fun idea, right?
Lights, Music, Steam RC Car
Check, check, check! This type of car is SO FUN. My son and his neighbor friends bring their RC cars out to the front yards and zoom them around. This is his favorite type!
Bible Recap for Kids
One of my friends got this for my son for his 7th birthday and it was a great gift! We don't quite do the entire devotional each night but even just reading the basic parts of the devotional is perfect for us!
Mini Basketball Hoop
Because everything is a competition when you're a 7 year old boy, right? Does that ever change? :)
NFL Team Beach Towel
A family always needs another beach towel, right? It's guaranteed to be used!
Pokemon Cards
My 7 year old son is still very into Pokemon. For just a few dollars, this set of Pokemon cards takes any gift up to the next level!
Instant Print Camera
This is on my list of things to get for my son, I know he will love it!
My son has one in his room and we love it! I always add the photos I take of him and his friends - it makes it easy for him to see all his favorite pictures!
I'm getting these for a stocking stuffer this year! My kids love anything in surprise balls.
Also on our list this year. I love the independence these provide and that they are screen-free! There are a lot more options for cards for this age compared to the Tonie box which we loved for younger years!
My son's cousins have this and he thinks it's so cool!
Books:
For the kid who loves to be outside and explore!
On our list this year!
These actually go really far and are fun!
