4. KNEX Building Set

 

This KNEX set is ridiculous! Most adults would even enjoy building something like this. KNEX Thrill Rides includes three different models to create your very own amusement park. Just to let you know, the models are a lot bigger than you’d expect (some of them measuring almost 3 feet tall.) Another cool feature – all of these rides are motorized! Once set up, they spin or rotate just like real rides.

5. Water Dancing Speaker

 

If you’re searching for a cool gift – this next idea is going to be hard to beat. This water fountain speaker will dance to changes in audio volume and tone. Playing different songs and watching the speaker adapt to different beats is fascinating! This water speaker would make the perfect addition to your 11 year olds room (it looks especially unique in the dark!) You can easily connect to any device via a Bluetooth connection or plug into the speaker directly with the included aux cord. A lot of the water dancing speakers you will find are not very durable or high quality. This speaker is of excellent quality and built to last (a bit more expensive than others, but well worth it!)

6. Escape Room in a Box

 

Here’s a fun game your 11 year old will enjoy (it’s not even a video game!) 

How do you play? 

• The goal of the game is to escape by working together to solve 19 different fun, mental, and physical puzzles.
• There is a timer, and you only have an hour to escape before a mad scientist turns you into werewolves. 
• (Optional) but you can also pair the game with Amazon’s Alexa for time tracking, clues, and spooky music. 

Escape rooms have become very popular over the last few years, and this play-at-home version is INCREDIBLE! It is challenging enough for an 11 year old and very entertaining. This game makes a great game to play with family or his friends.

8. SkyBound Trampoline 

 

Are you shopping for a big gift this year? Skybound’s premium trampoline would make an AWESOME Christmas or birthday present.

There are definitely cheaper trampolines, but SkyBound only uses high-quality components that will last for years to come. This trampoline is available in 12, 14, and 15-foot styles. Paying a bit more for something safe and well constructed could be worth it vs. a trampoline that may only last a few years. No doubt your 11 year old boy will practically live on this trampoline!
