10 Best Cheap Stocking Stuffers for Him
a Note from jules
Wondering what to put in a stocking stuffer for the man in your life? Some of the top 10 items I have placed in my husband’s stocking include peanuts, earmuffs, luggage tags, an extra phone charger for the car, a bookmark, a shower brush, pretzels, and more.
Books
You can start by exploring my popular lists of the best books for men and the best coffee table books for him.
Focus on paperbacks and deals. For example, Target often has book deals and Amazon always has book deals.
Or, Start Here: Malcolm Gladwell books are my husbnad’s favorite, and Revenge of the Tipping Point is his new release.
Book Light
My husband loved my bookmark light so much, he claimed it as his own, and I had to buy another one. We now also love to gift these for reading in low light.
Sparkling Wine Stopper
This sparkling wine stopper is easily one of our favorite little gadgets. If you open a bottle of bubbly for a small toast or to top off some cocktails, it seals it right back up and keeps it bubbly for weeks (yes, really).
Gourmet Peanuts
Old Bay seasoning is very popular where we live in Philadelphia, and my husband also loves snacking on peanuts, so I love to grab him cans of these Old Bay Virginia peanuts for a cheap little stocking stuffer gift.
Earmuffs
Earmuffs are another little item of mine that my husband loved so much I had to get him his own. They are easy to transport and keep your hair in place.
Luggage Tags
I gifted my husband these luggage tags after so many instances where we were looking for extras and/or trying to update old ones. I love how the bright color pops at the airport baggage claim too.
Car Phone Charger
I got my husband this phone charging cord for his car and he loved the clean design that decluttered his console area.
Shower Brush
I often update my husband’s shower brush for him as well for a quick little win. It’s just always nice to have a new one.
Chocolate Pretzels
I always grab my husband some chocolate-covered pretzels too for a sweet and salty little treat that’s both a snack and a dessert. This is our absolute favorite chocolate brand.
