7-Year-Old Boy Birthday Gift
Outside
1. Nerf Football
Even if your birthday boy doesn’t play football on a team, I can bet any money he enjoys playing football in the yard.
We love this Nerf football, and each of my 3 boys has their own.
I love that they are durable and never have to be pumped up.
2. Baseball
Playing baseball is another fun game to get some exercise outside.
There is a bit more equipment when it comes to baseball. Who knew?
3. Stomp Rocket
OMG, if you haven’t seen this, you must get it for your birthday boy.
Stomp rockets are an absolute blast. Everyone gets pretty competitive to see who can make their rocket go the highest.
My boys even let me take a turn.
This has been our go-to boy's birthday gift for a while now.
4. Soccer
You can jump right out with your boy and kick a ball around with him.
We can’t get enough of this soccer ball.
It is used all the time and it is still going strong.
5. Bicycle
Even if it is up and down your street, riding a bike brings confidence and a small sense of freedom for your 7-year-old.
We have had great luck with this brand of bike.
But if I am being honest, most bike brands are pretty good for this age.
6. Bow and Arrow
You can set it up inside or outside, I like it to be outside. Less of my things to break out there.
7. Airplane Glider
If your boy loves airplanes, I have the perfect gift for him.
These airplane gliders are fairly large and so much fun to fly.
We usually have contests to see who can fly theirs the farthest.

Unique Gifts
8. Fishing Gear
Don’t underestimate the excitement you can bring by gifting fishing gear.
My boys go crazy bananas anytime they get fishing gear as a gift.
If you are just getting him started, you can’t go wrong with these fishing items.
9. Air Hockey
I feel like not that many people have air hockey tables anymore, whether it be big ones or smaller ones.
However, if your birthday boy has the space for it, it is a fun game to play with family and friends.
Don’t be afraid to jump in and show him how it’s done.
10. Pokémon Cards and Binder
Let’s be real for a moment.
If you can explain what you are supposed to do with the Pokémon cards besides reading all the info on them, let me know in the comments below because I still can't figure it out.
Anywho, 7-year-old boys are into Pokémon cards. I know mine sure are along with all of their friends.
11. Sports Cards and Binder
If your birthday boy isn’t into Pokémon, there are always sports cards.
You can’t even begin to imagine how much time he will spend checking these sports cards out. I love that he can never grow out of this gift.
Make sure to add in this binder to help keep his cards looking new.
12. Paper Airplane Book
This activity is great for a rainy day, making paper airplanes out of this paper airplane book.
My oldest son got this and graciously lets his younger brothers in on the fun.
It is fun for me too
. I even win for farthest glide sometimes.

Books for 7 Year Old Boys
When you are not sure what else to give, try a book or 2. They also make a great addition to anything else on this list.
I love to pair one with pajamas since we like to snuggle up and read together mostly before bed.
These books are my 7-year-olds favorite books right now. They are wonderful to read together too.
7-Year-Old Boy Birthday Gift
Games
There is no greater gift than the gift of your time. And playing games is a fabulous way to spend time together.
You will be surprised how much your son will open up and chatter away when you play games with him.
These games are my boys’ favorites, and I enjoy playing them as well.
7-Year-Old Boy Birthday Gift
Toys
15. Remote Control Car
This car is so fun and it can be run inside and outside.
One of the better remote-control cars, in my opinion.
All 3 of my boys got one for Christmas last year and they are a hit.
My favorite part is that they are rechargeable, saving you some money on batteries!
16. Hot Wheels Cars
If your birthday boy is into cars at all, these Hot Wheels cars are a must.
With 3 boys, we have cars everywhere and the ones that hold up the best are Hot Wheels.
It is fun to watch how creative boys can get with these cars.
17. Army Men
Not a gift for every boy, but Army Men can be so fun!
Your son will spend hours setting up and rearranging these guys.
My husband and 7-year-old son love the military so these army men were the perfect present for our son.
18. Walkie Talkies
Take hide and seek to the next level with walkie-talkies.
If you are going to go with these, don’t cheap out.
It is okay to get him a man set of walkie-talkies so he can use them for years to come.
My son has these stellar ones.
19. Nerf Guns
Ah, Nerf guns – I love you but sometimes you get on my nerves.
Nerf guns are an absolute blast and I know your birthday boy is going to have a great time with them.
I just don't like having to pick up all your nerf darts.
It only took 1 picture frame to get broken for them to be banished to the great outdoors.
20. Laser Tag
My son got laser tag for Christmas and everyone wanted in on the action.
It was easy to see why, it was a blast.
After the kids were done playing, all the adults got a chance to play too.
I do love laser tag more than nerf guns, less destructive.
21. STEM Robot
So, your birthday boy can’t get enough of STEM?
This little 12-in-1 STEM robot will keep him entertained for hours.
22. Science Kits
I do home daycare so I have to find things for my kids to be entertained with all summer long.
These kits do the trick.
In fact, everyone has loved the Earth Science Kit so much that I have had to buy it multiple times now.
I know they can get messy, but that is part of the fun.
23. Tablet
This tablet was a game-changer in learning for us with our 7-year-old.
So, if your son is a very interactive learner, you have to check one out for yourself.
Kids are like little sponges right now, so help him learn all the great things he can.
24. Ball Shooting Game
Not sure who will have more fun with this ball shooting game, dad or your birthday boy.
It is a fun game, and he can hit the targets the balls are "caught" and not flying all over the place.
Great indoor fun to get you through a rainy day or the cold winter.

LEGOS
I know Legos are toys but they really are a category all their own.
My oldest son just came home last week and told me every second 7 Lego sets are sold around the world. It’s true, I looked it up for myself.
With that being said, Legos are amazing and a great way to let your birthday boy’s imagination run wild.
We have a dedicated “Lego table” at our house since all 4 of my kids love them so much.
Lego sets are a hot item but I see my kids gravitate more to the classic Legos since they can build anything with them.
If he already has a bunch of Legos, consider giving him one of these.
We have the Lego Ideas book and have gifted it multiple times as well.
The Lego Chain Reactions is on my son's "presents to get" list.
Let me know in the comments below if you have experience with it.
7-Year-Old Boy Birthday Gift
Clothes
26. T-Shirt
Kiddos can get crazily excited over a new favorite shirt.
If he has a favorite character or sports team, you can't go wrong.
Just go with a size bigger because these boys grow fast!
27. Hat
My boys can’t get enough of hats.
Especially the ones that have their favorite sports team on them. We love the Packers around here.
You can choose a winter hat or a ball hat that he can wear any time of the year.
28. Sweatshirt
Does your birthday boy have a favorite color?
My 7-year-old can’t get enough of blue, and he doesn’t care what kind of sweatshirt it is.
But this Under Armour sweatshirt has been through multiple boys now (hand me down from the cousins) and still looks brand new.
29. Pajamas
There are so many fun options out there for boy pajamas these days.
From favorite characters to sports teams to animal prints, your birthday boy will want to stay cozy in his all the time.
My boys love Super Mario and can’t get enough of these pajama sets.
This post was all about the best 7-year-old boy birthday gift ideas.
