Best Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Dad
1. Snacks
I am sure he has a favorite snack or 2 that will easily fit in his Christmas stocking.
My husband loves Pistachios and a package or 2 always ends up in his stocking.
2. Movie
I know what you are thinking, there are still physical movies out there? You bet, girl. If you still have something to play it on, pick up a good movie for him.
Here are a few great movies to choose from: Top Gun Maverick, Caddyshack, and the Fast and Furious series.
3. Books
Girl, my husband is a reader. We are definitely not into the same reading material but he keeps trying to get me to read his books.
Anyway, you can pick up a book that he might be interested in or you can get him a Kindle.
You can also toss in a new magazine you think he might like.
4. Cologne
Is he into wearing cologne? Get him a new bottle of his favorite.
My husband is not that kind of guy so I don’t have a good one to recommend to you.
However, if you have a good smelling one that I should look into for my husband, let me know in the comments below.
5. BruMate Can Cooler
This BruMate insulated can cooler is dynamite!
It is a 3-in-1 so it can hold a 12oz can, a 16 oz can, and can be a leakproof tumbler with a lid.
His drinks will stay cold, no question!
6. Yeti
Whether he has a Yeti mug of some kind or not, he would be happy to get another one.
I love this Yeti Tumbler and this Yeti Rambler and I couldn't be happier with them.
7. Wireless Charger
I got this wireless charging pad for my phone but it didn’t take long for me to buy another one since my husband kept using mine.
It is small and cheap and makes the perfect stocking stuffer.
8. Bluetooth Speaker
We love this JBL Flip speaker and use it all the time. The battery lasts a long, long time, and the sound quality is so much better than a phone.
He will be able to listen to music or any game easily with it.
9. Golf Balls
Is your dad a golfer? It seems golfers can never have enough golf balls.
My brother plays golf often (I don’t) and he tells me these are great golf balls to get.
10. Fishing Tackle
I love fishing, I have been doing it since I was a kid, so I know a thing or 2 about fishing tackle. The real deal is, he can never have too much of it.
So, if you know that he goes fishing for Northern Pike, Bass, or Pan Fish then this tackle will be great for him.
11. Fishing Gear
You could also go with fishing line, fishing weights, or fisherman’s pliers.
All make great stocking stuffers.
12. Hunting Calls
Maybe fishing just isn’t his thing but hunting is (that would be my husband).
Turkey and Whitetail Deer are mostly what he goes after. He uses these hunting calls.
13. Vortex Binoculars
An amazing set of binoculars is essential for hunting and girl, my husband researched the life out of these binoculars before I got them for him for Father’s Day.
Yes, he picked out his Father’s Day gift but he got exactly what he wanted and couldn’t be happier with them.
Cabela's also has Vortex Binoculars if you would rather pick it up there.
14. Vortex Rangefinder
A range finder is also incredibly helpful for hunters and this is the one my husband has.
This one is small but powerful. It is so easy to carry.
Cabela's also has this Vortex Rangefinder if you would rather pick it up there.
15. Ammo
And speaking of hunting, my guess is he could use a restock of his ammo.
You may have to ask him specifically what kind to get here because it matters!
16. Jetboil Stove
For me, it was one of those items that I didn’t know we needed for camping but now that we have it I am like, how did we camp without it?
17. Leatherman
You can never go wrong with getting a Leatherman for his Christmas stocking.
They are fantastic for day-to-day and any adventure he wants to tackle.
18. Back Scratcher
My husband is crazy over back scratches and asks for them all the time.
19. Headlamp
You will be surprised how much he will use a headlamp.
This one is great because it uses AAA batteries and not button batteries.
20. Flashlights
I know what you are thinking, a flashlight? And yes, you should!
They come in handy all the time.
21. Pocket Knife
As long as I have known my husband, he has always carried a pocket knife.
“It is so useful” is what he tells me, and girl, I have needed to use it on more than a few occasions.
22. Tire Pressure Gauge
Honestly, a tire pressure gauge should be kept in every vehicle. You never know when you will need to use one.
So, if you have a vehicle that is lacking one, put it in Dad’s stocking.
23. Grilling Apron
Is your dad a grill master or just love spending time grilling?
This is a witty but useful apron that will help keep his clothes clean.
24. Meat Claws
25. Meat Seasonings
And to top of the grilling section, get him some new BBQ seasonings.
I bet there are seasonings out there that he hasn’t tried yet.
26. Lottery Tickets
Just for kicks, toss a few scratch-off lottery tickets into his stocking. It could be a bust or it could be that one time that he will win.
Be honest with me, have you ever won anything on a scratch-off lottery ticket? I rarely do them but I have never won a cent.
27. Sports Tickets
Is there a pro sports team that he is just bananas about? If you want to get crazy and blow his mind, get him a pair of tickets to a game.
28. Carhartt Winter Hat
My husband and 3 sons have never complained about their heads or ears being cold when they wear this Carhartt hat.
29. Work Gloves
It is just a solid and reliable brand.
30. Men's Wallet
Your dad might need a wallet upgrade.
But before you pick out one that you like, make sure you have an idea of what he likes.
There are bifold, trifold, slim, soft, hard, and with and without money clips. Who knew?
My husband had a soft trifold for a long time but has since switched to this one and says he likes it better.
31. Men's Watch
Is your dad a watch guy?
This one is sure to elevate his look anytime her gets dressed up for a special occasion.
It is also fantastic for everyday use.
32. Men's Black Tie
Every dad needs a classic black tie in his closet.
It will get used at some point even if he isn't a wear-a-tie-to-work kind of guy.
33. Oakley Sunglasses
Right up at the top of my husband’s Christmas list this year is a new pair of Oakley Sunglasses.
He has had a pair before and said they are the most comfortable to wear but after years of constant use, it is just time to replace them.
34. Hey Dudes
These are the perfect slip-on shoes for dad and they are everywhere.
They are just comfortable!
35. Ratcheting Screwdriver
Let's talk about some tools!
If your dad does not have a ratcheting screwdriver, he is missing out. It is my favorite tool to borrow from my husband’s tool belt.
This one comes with multiple bits on it.
36. Drill Bit Set
Does he have a cordless drill? If not, you should make this Milwaukee drill or Makita drill part of his Christmas gifts.
Then you can get him this set of Irwin drill bits as a stocking stuffer.
Girl, this drill will get some use!
37. Tape Measure
When it comes to tape measures, going cheap is a mistake.
38. Utility Knife
He says it is one of his most used tools.
39. Men's Toiletries
To end this list of stocking stuffer ideas, I had to toss in something completely practical – toiletries.
Not the most exciting gift, I know, but he will use them.
Here are a few ideas (and this is just what my husband uses): Shaving Cream, Razor Blades, Body Soap, and Shampoo and Conditioner.
This post was all about the best stocking stuffer ideas for Dad.
What is your favorite Christmas treat? For me, it would have to be Nut Goodies, but I love chocolate!
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for stopping by.
