Do you struggle to find amazing stocking stuffers for your husband?
One of the most popular posts I ever wrote was one suggesting different stocking stuffers for men. I wrote it a few years ago, and it had over 200,000 shares! And so I thought it was time to revisit the topic with some new out-of-the-box ideas for stocking stuffers your husband will love.
I’m not a real gift person. Gifts tend to stump me–especially gifts for men. So what I’ve done is revised this list every year based on the amazing things that people are buying ALONG WITH other stuff I’ve recommended (I can see through my Amazon reports), and I’ve discovered the coolest things, like credit-card sized tools, pocket constitutions, emergency auto escape tools, hilarious hand sanitizers, and more!
So I’ve decided to compile a list of stocking stuffers for men in a whole bunch of categories–handy stocking stuffers, sexy stocking stuffers (of course I had to include these!), yummy stocking stuffers, smart stocking stuffers, and more! And I’m going to try to include some things you may never have thought of–sort of “out-of-the-box” ideas. So here we go:
(This list has been updated for 2019!)

Sheila Wray Gregoire has been married for 25 years and happily married for 20! She loves traveling around North America with her hubby in their RV, giving her signature "Girl Talk" about sex and marriage. And she's written 8 books. About sex and marriage. See a theme here? Plus she knits. Even in line at the grocery store.
Another good idea is Mountain Man Soaps! The quality is terrific. The oils used in them make the skin feel nice. But the scents are manly. https://mountainmansoap.com/
How fun! Thank you!
Great list Sheila! One thing I am getting hubby is some paracord & handy fittings, so he can make his own ‘survival’ stuff like paracord wristbands, plus it is just really handy stuff! Fairly inexpensive and cones in a variety of colours too.
I don’t even know what that is. 🙂 I’m going to go Google it now!
Thanks, Sheila! I wasn’t sure what to get my husband this year, and now I’ve got him some great gifts!
All gift ideas are great. Maximum of these gift items will like my hubby. I like to gift my hubby from the list of Make Him Look gift items.
Hi Sheila, it is a great experience for me. thanks for sharing your awesome ideas.I think its very helpful!
My husband could totally use a magnetic wristband! Buying now (with a bunch of other stuff too 🙂 )
I’ve Been wanting to get my handyman husband a drill holster 😉
He’s done a lot of jobs where he’s said that it would be handy when he doesn’t want a full tool belt on.
Ditto with the magnetic wristband!
I’d like to add…. about the emergency belt cutter / window smasher that everyone with a vehicle should have one. Seatbelts get jammed as do doors in an accident. Also if you have young ones in car seats when in an accident you aren’t supposed to remove them from their seat. Seat acts like a backboard in a way. So if you have one of these you can slice the straps and lift out child in the car seat all in one piece.
This should be a gift for any new mom and dad with a new arrival. Or grandparents cars for that matter where a baby might be on a semi- regular basis. (Sheila maybe for your daughter or son in law. Lol).
Absolutely! Where do you keep yours? On the keychain with the car key or car fob?
No ours isn’t keychain size. I thought about the glove compartment but then thought what if I can’t open that (serious enough crash). So we have a little open pocket thing between our seats that’s pretty jammed with crap (phone cords, notepads, mini first aid kit etc) so I jammed it in there. So it can’t fly around. Ours came with a mounting bracket but for the life of me I can’t figure out where the heck you could / should mount it in the car 🤔.
Oh, that’s a good idea! I’ll put it in there, too.
