If you’ve clicked this link, we’re going to go out on a limb and guess you have a 7-year-old boy in your life. First of all, congrats: It’s a great age, but you’ve probably noticed that already. You’re also probably struck by how much more aware they’ve become lately. They’re more empathic, considerate, and conversational… but, like, also still very much the constantly moving, high-energy dynamos we’ve always known and loved. Your little baby is still very much there, but he’s also simultaneously becoming a big kid — and a pretty cool one at that! Like we said: It’s a great age, and these gifts for 7-year-old boys can make it even more enjoyable.

In many ways, little boys’ interests don’t change much over time. Not even when they become adults. We’re still finding an end date for the “little boy” stage among some of the grown men we know (it’s mostly pretty endearing), and in many ways, that can make gift-giving a little bit easier. Things they liked when they were younger — cars, games, dinosaurs, building sets, and anything that lets them get physical — are always a good bet!
