As the Halloween season has already ended, the Christmas countdown officially begins. With that, moms and dads are now busy thinking what kind of present to give to their sons. Kids have been waiting for this time of the year to come as they are all looking forward to seeing their dream toys under the Christmas tree. So, here are some best gift ideas for boys.

Toys R Us is one of the retailers that provide everything children could want. From Lego to Paw Patrol, they have a variety of options to choose from. In fact, their 2017 Holiday catalog is already out.

Young boys today will surely be happy to have a new game console for Christmas. They could have the Sega Genesis Ultimate Portable Game Player, a first-class version of the original game console. It costs just $37.49 from its original price of $49.99 — giving the parents $12.50 off.

There is also a Nintendo 2DS with "Mario Kart 7" – Electric Blue for $79.99. This device can still play Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS games. However, only on a 2D display.

For those who want something grand to give to their sons, the "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" PlayStation 4 Slim Bundle would be a nice idea. For $299.99, it is packed with a new slim 500GB PlayStation 4 system, a DualShock 4 Wireless Controller and, of course, "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" on Blu-ray disc.

For the boys who want to collect action figures, there is a wide variety of selections. As the "Justice League" movie is about to hit the theaters, parents could give their sons a 12-inch action figure of Batman or/and Superman for $7.99 each. It is originally priced at $9.99, giving the moms and dads $2 in savings.

For the creative ones, parents could give their boys building sets. Of course, Lego would come to mind. Depending on what interests them, there are a number of themes and concepts they could choose from. The LEGO Batman Movie — Batcave Break-in costs $83.99, originally $99.99, while LEGO Minecraft The Cave is at $17.39 from $19.99.
