Let’s face it — teen boys can be harder to shop for than trying to beat a game without cheat codes. So what do you get a teen or tween boy who just shrugs when you ask? A video game survival kit!

Tailor the contents to fit your gamer's interests. Build the perfect kit with some of these fun ideas:

How to Assemble a Video Game Gift Basket
1. Grab a basket, plastic tub, or even a large popcorn bowl.
2. Line it with tissue paper or shredded filler.
3. Print Video Game Gift Set on card stock, cut out.
4. Tape or staple "Energy Rations," "Fuel Up" and other tags to snacks. Use candy bar wrapper to wrap chocolate bar and tape gift card to gift card holder.
5. Arrange your items – tallest in the back, small items in front.
6. Add pennant flags using dowels or wooden kabob skewers. (We love that the flags can be customized to the age of the birthday boy!) Tie "Video Game Survival Kit" tag to basket using twine or ribbon.
