Therefore, there are lots of inexpensive gifts that you can choose for the 10-year-old on your list. Think about the types of things he likes to do in his spare time when you select his present.

Art Supplies
-
When you are shopping for a young boy who likes to tap into his creative side, help him out by purchasing some art supplies. If he likes drawing, go with a sketch pad and a package of colored pencils. You could also choose a pre-framed canvas and a variety of acrylic paints and paintbrushes. That way, he can make his own artwork for his bedroom.
Gag Gifts
-
Many 10-year-old boys like gross humor and pulling tricks on their friends and families. Choose a gift from a novelty store that will make this even easier for him. For example, choose a whoopie cushion that he can sneak onto someone's chair, a fake snake or mouse he can use to scare his mother or even fake vomit that will simply gross someone out. Make sure his parents are okay with these sorts of items before purchasing them, just in case his parents aren't.

Sports Item

For a little boy who is into sports, you can't go wrong with an accessory that complements his favorite sport. Many of these items are also available for an inexpensive price. For example, you can find a baseball, a football, a basketball, a soccer ball or a sleeve of golf balls for a small amount of money. Alternatively, choose something he can use when he is playing his sport, such as a reusable water bottle with a colorful design or a T-shirt.
Book
-
Purchase a book for the little boy who enjoys reading. There are many classic titles you can choose from, and you can often find inexpensive copies in bookstores or online. Consider well-known titles, such as "Where the Red Fern Grows" or "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Alternatively, choose a more current book written for children, such as one from the Harry Potter series.
