How to Find Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Men

If you are looking for stocking stuffers for your husband, grown son, boyfriend or other man in your life, you know how difficult it can be. Candy and trinkets are not necessarily manly, but you do not want his stocking to be only half-full, either.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Consider his hobbies and spare-time activities. If he loves gazing at the stars, get him a Stellarscope Portable Star Finder at Orvis.com. This pocket-sized viewer makes it easy to find constellations. If he loves working with tools, stuff his stocking with a small collection of drill bits.

2. Think about what he needs. If he spends half the winter out on the slopes, a good pair of gloves (Altrec.com has a wide selection) and a few tubes of lip balm. Is he always searching for something to write with? Buy him a nice pack of pens, or have one specially engraved with his name.

3. Reflect on his favorites. If he's a sports fan, there is a very good chance he has "his team." FootballFanatics.com has lots of goodies. Or get a magazine relating to something he loves to do, like cooking or off-road trucking. Roll it up and wrap it like a party cracker.

4. Make him laugh. Almost every guy loves a good gag gift, so prank yours and he'll be even more enamored with you. Tuck a fake winning scratch-off lottery ticket deep into his stocking, or a small bag of coal (pieces of black licorice in a drawstring bag).

5. Let him treat himself. If his mornings simply don't start until he has had his venti espresso frappuccino, no whip, stuff his stocking with coffee-house gift cards. If he loves to rent movies the day they are released, load him up with video-store gift cards. Once you think about the little things that make him happy, finding stocking stuffers will be a breeze.

Tips & Warnings

• Start a tradition. Every year, wrap up an ornament, a funky tie or something else that would be fun for you both. He will begin to look forward to this year's edition.
