This electronic game blends technology and classic point-and-shoot gaming in one addicting package. The idea is simple: load up the targets, get in position, and shoot down the boards!

Whoever gets the ball has to throw it back at the net and bounce it to the next person. You keep doing this until one person misses their shot! The game can be played in teams of 2 or individually as well.
8. LEGO Technic BASH!
The Lego Technic series is built upon a simple belief: to provide children with a building experience like no other. LEGO goes all out with their Technic series as they always tend to provide a detailed model of a car that you can build from scratch. Not only that, but once your son finishes making the car, he can also play with his creation because this car also features a pull-back motor! This toy is great for developing problem-solving skills and is super-fun to build your very own car from the ground up!

Similar to the Xbox Series X, the PlayStation console also gets a new generation boost with the launch of the PS5. This system is going to be, perhaps, the most important upgrade to the console series. The PS5 will feature much richer graphics, blazing-fast loading speeds, a groundbreaking performance leap, a better audio experience, and jaw-dropping gameplay. This console will be the future of gaming, and depending on what games your son likes, this console will be the only gaming machine he will ever need. PlayStation has been known to feature every big gaming title and has a better overall gaming library than its competitors.

12. Microsoft Xbox One S 1TB
Of course, with all the new consoles coming out in 2020, you’d still have the older, yet still extremely capable, generations on sale at amazing prices! Take the Xbox One S as an example. This console is going to be on sale at a lower price, which will make it an easy grab for anyone who doesn’t want to go through the hassle of early-release bugs. Even if you think the new generations are not affordable, you can easily opt for this Xbox One S model, which offers all the same games like the newer generation. It’s important to note here that Microsoft has allowed for backward compatibility across the board, so every game that comes out is going to be available on all consoles and not just on the newer generation!
13. Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
We can’t just mention an older Xbox without highlighting the much-beloved Ps4 series! This console has dominated the console-gaming space for the last 4 to 5 years. It has been hailed as a game-changing machine for many years and can still withstand the newer, demanding titles, especially on this Pro version. The Ps4 Pro has all the bells and whistles of the regular Ps4 series but with added 4k support and better internals. The Pro version offers better graphics and over-clocking performance that doubles the Frames Per Second (FPS) on any game. The main reason to buy this console over the Ps5 would be that it will support all the new games and will offer all of them in beautiful and crisp 4k quality!
14. TaoTronics SounderLiberty Earbuds
If your son has a habit of losing things then you might want to start them off with a pair of affordable earbuds. The TaoTronics SoundLiberty earbuds might be cheap, but the value that they provide is off the charts! With advanced Bluetooth technology, high sound quality, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), and Active Pass-Through, these earbuds truly offer a great wireless bud experience over its expensive competitors. These earbuds are also waterproof, so your son can even jump in the shower and listen to his favorite tunes! The earbuds also offer an impressive battery time of up to 32 hours!

The 1080p quality also enables you to enjoy your favorite content in high definition with surround sound!
16. MantelMount Pull Down TV Mount
Speaking of Smart TVs. If you are in the market to buy a TV for your 15-year-old, then we recommend that you get this TV mount as well. This is unlike any other TV mount you have ever seen because this one is infinitely adjustable and can be pulled down as well! The advanced and super easy to use gear technology on this mount enables for a smooth transition from one position to another without applying much force. This is truly a breakthrough in TV mounting technology! Now your son can adjust the TV’s position according to his use. Pull the TV back during regular use and pull it down for an immersive gaming experience!
17. Apple Watch Series 3
The Apple Watch Series 3 still offers a great smartwatch experience even though this watch is now officially labeled as an “older generation” watch. The smartwatch market hardly ever sees leapfrog changes. Instead, you’d just get the occasional incremental upgrade that wouldn’t add much value in proportion to the price charged for the new product. Series 3 is still a great competitor and an even better watch to own! It has mostly all the features as the new watch. Your son can enjoy fitness tracking, health data, smart notifications, and more with this watch! Also, with all the Apple watches having the same design, your son will truly not be missing out on much with this older but more affordable watch series.
18. Drone RC Quadcopter
This RC Drone Quadcopter is made for serious use. The drone is capable of super smooth and long-distance flights enabled by its high-performance rotor blades. You also get a bit of a twist when it comes to the RC of this drone. Instead of a regular remote-control, you get a “Gravity Gesture Sensing” controller, which registers your hand gestures to move the drone. For example, if you hold the remote and turn your wrist to the right side, the drone will make a right turn and vice versa. To make it go forward, you can flick your wrist back and vice versa to reverse!
19. SKLZ Pro Mini Basketball Hoop
Shoot some hoops with this amazing mini basketball hoop game. Because it is miniaturized, it can be played indoors as well. Whenever your son has a few hours to spare, he can spend it with this amazing and physically demanding basketball game. Not only will your 15-year-old stay active with this, but you can cheer him up! Unfortunately, COVID-19 has locked everyone inside, and with little to no access to outside resources, it can get tough to spend so much time indoors. Thankfully, games like this exist, and you can bet that your son will have a great time playing indoors!
20. Mixi Magnetic Dart Board
Here’s another great indoor game. This magnetic dartboard game is the perfect blend of the old school dart game and safety. Whereas the classic game uses sharp needles, this one uses magnets to stick the darts to the board. This dart game is different from others because it ditches the Velcro mechanism, which is highly inaccurate and prone to having the darts fall off the board. Bond with your 15-year-old and discuss life while playing this dart game – we guarantee that it’s going to be a lovely experience!
