A backpack makes an ideal, practical gift for a 15-year-old boy as at this age they often spend a lot of time independently outside of the family home, pursuing their own hobbies and interests. Backpacks make a great useful gift because a 15-year-old boy will probably use a backpack for school, and then may need one for school sports kit, any extra-curricular sports or activities and will usually like to have one to take to friends’ houses or out and about too. So even if the boy you’re buying for already has a backpack, another will probably still come in useful!
