Jack Black Lip Balm
Kristy Pepping said: A few tubes of premium lip balm are the best stocking stuffers for men. With dry winter air, lips become chapped super easy. The issue is a lot of lip balm is geared toward the female crowd. Although this is unisex, guys will appreciate the bold flavors and packaging. Besides being conditioning, it also provides SPF 25.
Portable Charger
Tim Ponisciak said: Techie dads always need to power their digital toys, so if the dad in your life doesn't have an external battery, get him one this year! This can charge an iPhone more than three times. It's also very small, and can easily fit inside a pocket.
SENSO Bluetooth Headphones
Molly Weber said: There are a couple of things I love about these particular headphones. They are wireless in that they do not need to be plugged into your device, but the earbuds are still connected to each other, making it more difficult to misplace one of them. They also have a great battery life and are easy to connect to Bluetooth. I purchased these for my husband last year and he still loves using them while mowing the lawn or working out.
Tovolo Sphere Ice Molds
Kelly R. said: For the man who enjoys an evening whiskey, scotch, or bourbon (or even a mixed drink), these molds make ice in a large round shape that melts slowly and keeps drinks cold without watering them down. So he can handle herding the kids back into bed and return to a drink that is just how he left it.
Grill Armor Gloves
Tim Ponisciak said: These grilling gloves make great stocking stuffers for men! Grilling gloves are made to be able to withstand the heat from the bbq. They are also machine washable too!
Whiskey Stones
Molly Weber said: These whiskey stones are great stocking stuffers for men who are cocktail drinkers. They are ice cube shaped stones that will chill his beverage of choice without watering it down. Plus they look pretty cool in the glass so added points for classiness!
Rocketbook
Molly Weber said: I have this gift waiting in my husband's stocking and I know he's going to love it. He is constantly on the move at work and often needs to take notes throughout the day. This notebook allows you to send all handwritten notes straight to your smartphone or tablet. The best part is you can wash your notes off of the paper and reuse the notebook an endless number of times so it's extremely environmentally friendly!
Areaware Bottle Opener
Brigitte Nohra Miller said: For all men who like to collect the caps of special beers, this dent free bottle opener can crack open any bottle of beer leaving the cap in a perfect shape to be added to his collection!
Mini Tool Set
Tim Ponisciak said: Small tool sets are great stocking stuffers for guys, especially for those who are always on the go and have a lot of projects on the to-do list. This set includes pliers, a screwdriver, a tape measure and a driver with bits. It comes in a zipper case so nothing will get lost!
Shark Tea Infuser
Brigitte Nohra Miller said: This cute silicone shark is perfect for guys who enjoy their afternoon tea. It is an appealing design to replace the mesh tea ball, and fits perfectly in dad's stocking!
SoundBot Beanie
Erynn said: Not only will his ears stay warm, but this beanie has wireless headphones inside so the music goes wherever he does. It's also completely washable once you remove the wires.
Bulldog Beard Oil
Kelly R. said: My husband was a beard oil skeptic when he first received this in his stocking, and now he likes it so much that it's one of his must-haves. Bulldog Beard Oil uses a blend of oils that softens and conditions the beard and skin without causing greasiness, and has a pleasant but not overpowering scent.
DivvyUp Custom Socks
Kelly R. said: These quirky socks customized with the likeness of his kid (or dog!) make really fun personalized stocking stuffers for guys. All you have to do is upload a favorite photo!
Rocky Mountain Barber Company Shower Steamers
Kelly R. said: Even if he's not a bath guy, he can have a nice aromatherapy experience with bath bombs made just for the shower. Placed on the floor of the shower, these tablets dissolve and fill the air with relaxing and sinus-clearing mint and eucalyptus. The individually-packaged steamers can easily be split up into multiple gifts for cheap stocking stuffers for men and teens!
BrüMate
Kelly R. said: The BrüMate is a new favorite in our house, and my husband had to get his own after he borrowed mine so much! They keep drinks icy cold down to the last sip...way longer than a traditional can koozie. Our favorite is this versatile one that works for 12oz and 16oz cans (or as a pint glass), but there are also versions made for bottles, wine and spirits.
Bellroy Micro Sleeve Wallet
Do you know a guy with a George Costanza wallet- bursting at the seams and causing a sore back from sitting on the giant wallet? Stuff his stocking with a slim wallet from Bellroy- beautifully crafted with minimalist details that he'd be proud to show off.
Merkur Safety Razor
Juan L. said: There's something about shaving with an old-school safety razor that just feels special. Safety razor shaves tend to be more effective, easier on the skin (less passes required), and cost-effective in the long-term (replacing safety razor blades is very cheap). Pair with a badger hair brush and a shaving cream bowl to complete the kit.
Winter Running Gloves
Kristy Pepping said: If you live in a cold-weather climate or one where there are changing of seasons, I highly recommend these gloves. I bought these for my husband who is a runner. They come in various sizes and have an anti-slip surface so if the dad in your life either holds a phone or needs to press buttons on something like a fitness tracker, they can easily do so without taking them off.
Shutterfly Photo Cube
Brigitte Nohra Miller said: This elegant wooden photo cube is perfect to display on the desk in the office or on a shelf. Gather dad's favorite photos and create this personalized cube!
Lottery Tickets
Sarah Calamita said: We always stick a few lottery tickets in stockings.....keeps the dreams alive!
Back Scratcher
Katie G. said: Let's be honest, how many times has your husband asked you to scratch his back because he can't reach a certain spot? Every night? This back scratcher is the perfect gift for the man in your life and I promise you, it will get a lot of use. The teeth-like "claw" and long handle are the perfect shape to fit in a stocking.
Equinox Professional Hair Cutting Scissors
Lisa R said: 2020 was the year that we learned to cut our own hair and did it enough to dull our first set of scissors. Christmas was the perfect time to buy a slightly fancier new pair. They went in Dad's stocking since he needs them the most.
Men's Health Magazine Subscription
christadiserio said: I've stuffed my husband's stocking with a Men's Health magazine subscription in the past and he's loved it every time. Men's Health is a great magazine for husbands/dads who are into taking care of themselves through fitness, healthy eating, and more. This publication shares different workouts, recipes, style guides, relationship advice and more that will keep the man in your life occupied in his downtime.
Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam
Kelly R. said: This blend of colorless waxes is rubbed onto any leather shoes to nourish and protect them without making them overly shiny. Great for keeping his favorite shoes looking good over time.
Martin Grill Gadget
Kelly R. said: The metal bristles on traditional grill brushes can fall off and end up in your food - it happened to me. This simple and brilliant grill cleaner has a brass disc with different-sized notches in it. Rotate it to find the best fit for your grill and scrape away.
Mike’s Hot Honey
Kelly R. said: This chili pepper-infused honey adds a sweet kick to pretty much anything you can imagine...pizza, fried chicken, cheese, ice cream. It's also great mixed into cocktails.
