With the holidays coming soon, boys could use these gift ideas

If you are like most people and are not sure either what to ask for or what to get for one of the boys in your life, this is the list for you.

Black Friday is coming soon and then Christmas will be right around the corner, so it is time to start thinking about what you want.

Cologne

Did you finally run out of cologne but have not necessarily had a reason to buy more? If so, ask for some for Christmas.

Macy’s is the go-to place for cologne or perfume because you can find many different brands for many different prices.

Prices range from about $10 to $172.

Socks

If you are looking for something cheaper, Nike socks are still in style.

They can be found at Famous Footwear, Footlocker, and the Nike Outlet for $22 or less.

These work well for sports and casual wear.

Gaming consoles

The PlayStation 4 is still fairly new on the market so if you have not gotten one yet, here is your chance.

Many argue it is better than the Xbox because you do not have to pay for the server.

You can find PlayStations at Best Buy for $349.99.

However, if you feel like you have to stay true to the Xbox, the Xbox One is also a good bet for Christmas. These can also be found at Best Buy for $399.99.

Don’t forget that you must account for the games that would go with both of these consoles.

Running shoes

If you ask for socks, you might as well ask for running shoes to go with them.

Nike has many different colors and styles starting at $49.97 and going up to $225.

They can be found online at nike.com or at most shoe stores.

Sports tickets

Tickets to games tend to be more on the expensive side. But the earlier you order them, the less expensive they are likely to be.

Prices will depend based on the team, who they are playing, and when the game is.

Tickets can be found at StubHub.com and the official website of the sports team.

NFL jerseys

If you do get tickets and they are for an NFL game, a jersey would be a good second gift. Nike sells jerseys for every team at $150. Again, depending on the team and player you are buying one for, the price will vary.

Fitness tracker

For anyone who likes to work out, a Fitbit fitness tracker is something you may want to look into.

The most costly one is $249.95, and it monitors your GPS, heart rate, steps, distance, calories burned, and amount of sleep.

The cheapest one is $59.95 and only tracks steps, distance, and calories burned.

There are many different trackers in between these two prices.

If you are interested in one, fitbit.com explains what each type of tracker does.

Dorm accessories

Seniors, keep in mind that if you plan on attending a university in the fall that you will most likely be staying in a dorm.

Christmas may be a good time to start asking for things you will need for college, such as a laptop or comforter for your dorm bed.
