Guys are hard to shop for. Not only when it comes to gifts but also stocking stuffers. Whether you’re shopping for your dad, husband, brother, or boyfriend, figuring out what kind of little gifts they’d like in their stockings is confusing.
It’s easy to throw lip balm, a sugar scrub, and hair accessories in a woman’s stocking. But what should you give a guy?
This post is here to help. While it does come down to individual taste, we’ve compiled a list of stocking stuffer ideas for him, all of which are $20 or less. Use them to get inspiration for what your giftee might like in his stocking this year.

Tech
Car Phone Holder
A car phone holder is one of those things you think you don’t need until you get one. Then you realize what you’ve been missing in your life.
Survival Kit
Men love being prepared, so a mini survival kit makes a great stocking stuffer for him. He can throw it in his bag or glove box and have it everywhere he goes.
Power Bank
A power bank is a lifesaver when your phone reaches 5% battery with no outlets in sight. They’re small enough to throw in a bag but with enough power for several charges.
Charging Cord
Charging cords are one of those daily items most people don’t think about. But a good cord with fast charging can make a huge difference.
Wireless Earbuds
The wireless earbud trend is still going strong, and with good reason. They’re discreet and easy to carry in your back pocket.
Food
Coffee
A bag of quality coffee beans or grounds is a great and aromatic gift. Plus, it’ll take up space in the stocking. This one comes in a can, which they can reuse after the beans are gone.
Jerky
Men love jerky. These flavorful little meat sticks are great to snack on whenever he gets hungry.
Tea Ball
Drinking tea is all fun and games until your tea bag falls into the cup. A tea ball prevents this and looks classy, too.
Spice Set
For the man who loves to cook, get him a set of spices. To make it more personal, write out a few recipes he can cook with them.
Chocolate
Everyone loves getting chocolate in their stocking. A nice bar is best, but you could also choose a big version of his favorite kind.
Clothes
Fun Dress Socks
Dress socks with fun patterns have been quite popular in the last few years. Pick up a pair or two as a fun gift to spice up his outfits.
Beanie
Beanies are a good, practical gift that men love. A quality one like this is comfortable to wear and will last him for years.
Pocket Square
Skip the classic tie or bow tie gift and get him a pocket square instead. It’s a simple way to upgrade any formal look.
Gloves
Another practical but appreciated gift is gloves. Look for ones that work with touchscreens to make sure his hands stay warm even when using his phone.
Bracelet
A leather or metal bracelet is a fun gift guys don’t get often. Try matching it to his watch or any other jewelry he has.
Self-Care
Bar Soap
Everyone loves a good bar of soap. And these days, there’s a selection of them for men with manly scents and designs.
Shaving Cream
Another practical gift is a container of shaving cream. You can upgrade to a complete beard grooming kit to take his shaving to the next level.
Hand Warmers
Hand warmers are a great gift, especially if he works outside. Make them even more practical by getting reusable ones.
Hand Lotion
Guys get chapped, dry hands, too, even if they won’t admit it. A bottle of nice, mildly scented hand lotion will keep his hands moisturized and split-free for the winter.
Cologne
Cologne is a classic gift for a reason. Everyone enjoys smelling nice, and it’s more fun than a deodorant stick.
Fun
Bottle Opener
A bottle opener is a useful gift that guys love. Look for one that can attach to a key ring so he has it wherever he goes.
Lightsaber Chopsticks
For the geek, go for these lightsaber chopsticks that actually light up. They infuse a practical object with fun that no one can resist. The only question is which color you’ll pick.
Flashlight
Another thing men love to have on hand is a flashlight. Get him an extra powerful one or even a headlamp to be prepared for any situation.
Action Figure
You’re never too old for a fun collectible. There’s an action figure or Funko Pop for any movie or show that can reignite his inner child.
Ballpoint Pen
A good pen makes writing by hand a joy. A quality ballpoint pen (or set of pens) is an excellent upgrade for a man’s desk.
With all these ideas, your only problem is picking a few. Happy Christmas shopping!
