Stocking stuffers often get overlooked in the rush to see the bigger gifts Santa’s left. But they’re one of my favorite parts of Christmas. There’s something so fun about little gifts small enough to be stuffed in a giant sock. Yet once a man ages out of the novelty toys of his youth, it can be hard to know how to fill his stocking with things that are both neat and useful. For that reason, we’ve created this guide that includes 50 stocking stuffers a father, husband, or brother will find both practical and delightful. While every stocking should have one or two just-for-fun items, too many stocking stuffers are bits of junk that get thrown in a desk drawer, and then, once the feeling of guilt wears off, put in a trash can or tag sale. So the things we’ve chosen are those a man will enjoy using the moment he pulls them from his stocking and for a long time afterwards.
Drugstore Cologne
We wrote about six forgotten and manly drugstore colognes and aftershaves in 2012. It was a big hit. Cheap drugstore cologne was a staple in my dad’s stocking growing up, and I remember getting my first bottle of Brute in my stocking when I was twelve. Any of the old drugstore standbys make a great stocking stuffer gift. You can’t go wrong with Old Spice.
Pocket Knife
Every man should carry a pocket knife. Huckberry carries a number of nice pocket knives like the Opinel No. 8 and the Leatherman Skeletool.
Portable Phone Charger
While many folks carry phone chargers as part of their EDC these days, outlets aren’t always easy to come by when you’re in need. That’s where portable chargers come in especially handy. The charger itself needs to be charged, of course, and then it can provide a full battery boost to your phone no matter where in the world you are.
