Let’s talk about what to buy a 3-year-old boy for Christmas, so you’re sure to get plenty of happy squeals from your favorite little fella! He talks about everything he loves, all the time! However, buying the perfect gift for a 3-year-old boy who has everything and trying to surprise him at the same time is no simple task.
Watching a little boy open a gift on Christmas morning is so fun. When my own little man comes out of his room and runs to the tree with eyes so wide, they look like anime, it fills my heart to the point of bursting!
Every year I try to sneak in a few gifts that my children have not asked for. It’s so special to see them open something they love and had no idea they wanted!
So I’m going to keep this super simple and to-the-point! Below I’ve given you 50 GIFTS for a 3-year-old (toddler and preschooler) boy so that you can be certain to get him a gift that he’ll love AND try to slip in a gift he doesn’t expect!
All the following gifts have been given a chubby little 3-year-old-boy thumbs up by my very own smallish resident Batman!
