Hope that helps! 😉
Lots of nice ideas, I enjoyed reading them. Men are the hardest for me to buy for. I put pistachio nuts, peanuts, a candy bar, a CD, mini flashlight or mini tools, nail care set. I’ve also put ornaments, mini body sprays, new toothbrush and snack bars. I like novelty stuff and “coupon” books. 🙂
I read all of the ideas for a husband, but I have three boys ages 25, 27 and 30. I have already used most everything I read and have even repeated. Is there anyone who may have some different ideas for boys these ages?
Thanks
I usually go to Bartell’s because they have the biggest section of toiletries and a decent selection of candy (even old kinds like chic-o-sticks)
Archie McPhee’s is fun and you can find unique ideas on there. If you don’t live in the Seattle area you can check out their stuff.
I usually fill the bulk of the stocking up with candy (I get king size candies and box candy (like at the movies) when they’re on sale. I get the orange shaped chocolate (they come in different flavors now). I’ve filled up with jerky, trail mix, magnetic bottle opener to put on the fridge, zip drives when they get super cheap, batteries, groupon (or similar) for new/favorite restaurants to try. Never thought of socks/underwear. I’ve filled with handwarmers and a special beer also. If they have a pocket knife they need sharpened and don’t wear everyday – you can get it sharpened for them and put it in the stocking too. You could always get big packages of seasonal snacks, pick up clear bags w/christmas theme on them from dollar store and put them in there. like get a big bag of moose munch (harry & david – also available at macy’s) split it up, put some in each bag and tie with a ribbon…hot chocolates, ciders, etc also work
I’ll put in wallet or workstation size pictures of me &/or the kid, a bag of nuts, trinkets from Radio Shack since he’s a techie, new pair of work gloves since he easily wears through or loses them in a year’s time, a belt, or some grilling spices or accessories. I also like to do a special thing for him, like purge some of the stuff we haven’t used in years to make room in our disaster room and leave a note for him to look there and take notice.
My husband likes the little cookies and meats at pier one he love the little holidays candies and treats from all over the world. I buy him a few really nice cigars. But mostly he likes a beer basket of different kinds of apple cider and dark beers. And a gift card for digital music.
My husband is a long haul trucker so he is getting things like nail clippers, wax for his truck, a game,little tools, a movie, Advil, band aids with hot rods on them (if I can find them!) photos of our daughter and I, and some other silly stuff. I usually put something “playful” that means something to the two of us. Any other suggestions from truckers wives would be appreciated!
My husband usually fill each other’s stockings with scratch-off lottery tickets and some candy — he mostly likes Milky Way candy bars.
My boyfriend loves hunting and ice fishing, so this year I got little things like, a new camo knife, a duck call with his name engraved in it, tackle for ice fishing such as jig heads and hooks. Also other things like beef jerky, candy, smoky BBQ sunflower seeds (his favorite), cologne, and air fresheners for his truck !
One of my favorites from this year is the little sponge shapes in the capsules that you put in water. They’re inexpensive and a fun reminder of childhood! He’s getting a little bit of candy/gum, but most of his “treats” are things like combos and beef jerky. Other things I’ve tossed in are a small flashlight, flash drive, water bottle, and a groupon I’ve had for a while but he doesn’t know about!
socks, Chapstick, beef jerky, scratch off lottery tickets, a gift card to Lowes or Barnes and Nobles, something for hunting, nail clippers, deodorant, and something I’ve picked up on a trip we’ve taken during the year.
My husband likes gadgets, so I try to find those at hardware and auto part stores. Also, he is a big kid at heart, so I try to find small toys that will remind him of his childhood, like a silly wind up toy or a balsa wood airplane kit or a Matchbox of his favorite car. He will play with it and show our daughter (who is now 4) and eventually it becomes hers, but he enjoys seeing her have fun with something from his childhood. I like the idea of fun band-aids, maybe with a note saying for any injuries sustained from putting together the kids’ toys.
