Eid is often when we give the kids big-ticket items, such as new electronics, but they usually get some other fun, engaging new things too. I am not sure how things are in your house but here we have a lot of electronics – like a lot, a lot. I am always looking for things for them that aren’t the latest video game! We also have kids that range from 2 years old to 17 years old and have experienced everything in between.
If you are on the hunt for something for your guys, here are 17 Eid gift ideas for boys to consider.
Eid Gifts for Sports Lovers
WEKEFON Soccer Goals
Nerf Fortnite Llama Dart-Firing Toy BlasterPortable Basketball SystemETROL Camping Hammock
Every neighborhood in Morocco has at least one set of these shared among the neighborhood kids. Therefore, I consider pop-up goal nets to be standard fare for all boys. They are really fun and especially handy to have a set like this of portable nets.
Basketball Hoop – Not in every neighborhood in Morocco, but definitely wanted in all. I even want one! If you’ve got the space and an active boy, this will be a much-appreciated Eid gift.
Nerf for Fortnight Fans – Put down your screen and Nerf each other. There are so many fun Nerf guns to choose from, and this one is well-appreciated by the Fortnight fans in the family.
Encourage hanging out with a hammock. Guys big and small love these. This one is especially great because you can take it along on trips, hiking, camping, etc.

Marvel Villainous is a strategy game in which 2- 4 players get to play the role of one the Marvel Villains: Thanos, Hela, Ultron, Taskmaster, or Killmonger. There are also Disney versions featuring more infamous characters.
Beat That! Wacky Challenges game includes everything your guy needs to compete in 160 challenges with his friends or family. It’s super silly, requiring no real skill but an enjoyment for competition.
Dynamic Coins Tricks are fun and impressive for when boys go through their magic phase, which most of them do. And as Marvin’s Magic explains, learning magic tricks is, “great for confidence and presentation skills.”
Pilgrims of Life is an Islamilcally based board game that is not only fun to play as a family but will teach your children something too. It’s designed with older kids in mind (12-14 years old) and an ideal teen gift.

After taking a road trip to the Sahara on a bus that had one of these, a friend of mine got a karaoke mic for her sons. It gets way more play than I ever would have imagined. The possibilities for fun “self-expression” beyond karaoke are infinite with these mics.
