Best Stocking Stuffer Ideas

[Saricharity]

Okay, give me some stocking stuffer ideas for a guy!
Stockings are so much fun. I love to wrap every little thing, but I'm stumped for ideas...generally, it needs to be items $10 and under...extra points for $5 and under.

Ideas for a 21-year-old man and a 40-something man.

Bonus points for a 14-year-old teen boy!

It depends on what their interest are:

Go to the hardware store and there are lots of little handy tool items
At the sporting goods store there are lots of little fitness or camping items.
At the art store there are lots of little art supplies.
It will be a little harder to find little things at the music store.
It may also be harder to find little things at the electronics store.

You get the idea.

Dolla dolla billz, shoved into the stocking.

Really depends on the man really.

For example I like shave stuff and Swan can tell you I go through soap like crazy cause I love to get clean... men that can go days without a shower or dont shave their head or face like I do it would be wasted.

I also love power tools but those dont fit the stocking stuff idea unless you are talking drill bits.

I'd say your best bet is likely to stock up at a Five Below store if they have one near you or their website.

I like Amazon and Apple gift cards...and chocolate...and Pez dispensers...and fun little gadgets.

I’m not sure if my family feels the same way when they receive them, but that’s what I do. I also like small, quirky, strange things.

Man, I hate clutter and obligatory gifts, and find "stockings" to be the epitome of pointless. But items that are always nice to have (especially on Christmas when stores are closed and people have just been inundated with new things) are:

batteries
USB chargers (wall outlet or car port)
USB cords (the longer the better)
snacks
money

Funko pops

What on earth are they?

 

[akmom]

Probably not any frozen food items

 

[Guy Incognito]

What on earth are they?

They're plastic collectables that cover just about any and everything you can be a fan of

@Guy Incognito LOL
I totally thought it was some kind of candy. THAT was not what I was expecting at all.
I shopped at Winners today...not sure if that is an American company or not and they have so much organic food... it's insane! I was able to buy all kinds of edible stocking stuffers for everyone on my list. WHo doesn't love some kind of odd treat to snack on? Plus I found a few little oddball gifts that I know will be a hit with each person. I am a stocking stuffer addict. The challenge is to find useful gifts that you know the person will love. It is my gift! LOL Or my sister says it is. She tells me I always find the perfect gifts for stockings.

That would be a nice gift to have. I don't have that gift at all, and it makes obligatory gift-giving events stressful. It's so awkward (and wasteful) to give a gift that is unwanted or a duplicate. It is pretty special to see someone get really excited and genuinely surprised by their gift, but that doesn't seem to happen much. *sigh*

Aww, I hope my post didn't discourage you. I think I just have a quirky family...my family is large... I have 8 brothers and sisters with the youngest being 5. Stocking stuffers have been our tradition because it would put everyone in debt to buy gifts. I've had a lot of practice. It's so easy with my little sisters. And the older ones are so goofy, they like just about anything. I do try to pick something useful and I admit, I often spend all year collecting.
Don't be discouraged (((HUGS)))

I didn't realize stocking stuffers were in lieu of gifts. That certainly is a good alternative to expensive gifts. Some families draw names and get a gift only for the person they draw, so you get quality over quantity. But oh boy, then the pressure is really on!

I do love Christmas though. It's an excuse for fellowship, which can be difficult to initiate at other times. It's a good opportunity for kind gestures, which might come off as strange other times of the year, especially to acquaintances, but perfectly normal and unobtrusive at Christmas. And it's so beautiful with all the lights and decorations.

Wow poppyseed, you guys must use some HUGE stockings.

We always had the ones that were about 6” long. You could not even fit a large orange or apple in them.

 

[Saricharity]

Yours are much too small! But I have to say our stockings tend to overflow some years.

Funny you should say that, I actually don't put anything in our stockings at all lol, they just hang for decoration.

My husband always asks for a toothbrush and toothpaste. I also got him a gift card to our favorite coffee bar. Mugs are fantastic, especially if they say something.
