Great news: We’ve compiled a list of the best stocking stuffers for men so that the husbands, brothers, dads, grandfathers, etc. on your list can get small gifts that they’ll actually love. As a bonus, many of these gifts are actually great for any other adults in the family, too (any guy reading this: take notes).
So many stocking stuffer options are catered to children — and we’re not mad about it. Stockings can be one of the best parts of Christmas morning, and little Lego sets and toy makeup kits are sure to bring joy to your kids’ faces this month.
But, it can be challenging to make sure the adults in the house have stuffed stockings on the mantel when the little trinkets don’t seem like their thing. Consult our list to make sure the grown men in your household are as delighted as little kids on Christmas morning.

A beer-related gift for men? Groundbreaking. In our defense, though, this is a lot cooler than a bottle opener or six-pack. The BrüMate can insulator works for 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans, comes in a ton of fun colors, and actually keeps canned beverages cold. Plus, it's called a "Hopsulator," which is a portmanteau we simply cannot pass up.
No Christmas is complete without cheesy socks, and these ones are a great choice because they're high-quality material and fun all at the same time. For bonus brownie points, get a pair of "Hot Mom" socks for this dad's counterpart to truly cement this as a perfect gift.
Whoever says they couldn't use an extra pair of sunglasses is either a liar or so particular about their things that it's low-key scary. These pilot sunglasses are great for anyone to have on hand; they're affordable, polarized, and have UV 400 protection to keep your eyes safe from the sun.
Give the gift of good smells (which really is a gift for everyone around you) with these solid cologne bars from The Man Brand. You can buy scents like Bergamont & Cedar, Gentlemen's Bourbon, and Sweet Tobacco individually for just $9, or get a sample three-pack to figure out which ones you like the best.
Help the men in your house swap out their germ-filled loofahs with this long-lasting silicone scrubber, which exfoliates and cleans the skin and is designed to reduce the presence of bacteria. If the $30 price tag is a bit too high for your liking, you can start out with the smaller face scrubber, which is under $20 from Amazon.
Skincare is not just for women, and if the men in your life are dragging their feet about developing a nightly routine, this is a great place to start. The Eight Saints anti-aging night cream has hyaluronic acid (which are magic words to every skincare nerd) and is moisturizing while lessening the appearance of wrinkles — a one-stop shop for nightly skincare.
Another item that pretty much everyone could use is an extra pair of Bluetooth headphones. These ones come with a battery indicator on the side and have built-in microphones so they can be used for work calls and not just for workouts.
Dosey makes a bunch of great storage cases for medication that will help guys (or anyone!) travel with their meds without lugging those plastic boxes everywhere. This wellness wallet comes with four travel pouches that fit up to 30 pills each, so it's easy to package up daily pills and store them in a discreet and handsome way.
Switching to an eco-friendly household requires taking it one product at a time, and deodorant is a great place to start. These plastic-free Wild deodorant sticks have all natural ingredients, so they're good for humans and the earth all at once. You can buy a sample pack and split it among stockings or give all three to the same recipient so they can figure out which scent is right for them.
Ototo's entire inventory is perfect for stocking stuffers — the brand makes cute and colorful kitchen items you didn't know you needed. This "Fun Guy" fridge deodorizer is a great surprise to open the refrigerator to, and it absorbs odors when you fill the shroom’s belly with baking soda.
If your stockings are large enough to hold a small journal, this Papier travel diary is the way to go. It contains great prompts to help the user plan and reflect on their travel, like travel wish lists and summaries. Plus, its colorful sunset cover makes for a great coffee table book once it's all filled out.
Beard and hair oils are great gifting options for men, as they provide moisture and support for hair follicles and keep the scalp and chin from getting dry and scratchy. They also tend to soften beards and make them smell nice; this Moroccan mint and cedar blend is sure to do both at once.
These National Park candles are perfect for the nature lovers in your household. You can bring home the scent of a National Park (like desert lavender and sage for Zion, for example) in a well-designed canister that your stocking opener will want to hold onto. Plus, the candles have balsa wood wicks, so they'll sound like a real fire.
The only thing better than including one small, handy tool in a stocking is including nine in a single small package. This pen has an LED light, a stylus tip, a level, screwdriver heads, and rulers, all contained in a single compact object.
These simple knit gloves have tech-friendly finger pads that allow wearers to use their phones without removing their gloves, a perfect modern solution to an age-old issue.
