The 43 Best Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Your Husband, No Matter What He's Into

While shopping for a great Christmas gift for your husband tends to take up the most time during the holiday season, there's one more thing you need to think about—stocking fillers. Coming up with stocking stuffers for your husband can be a challenge, especially if you've already exhausted your creative abilities on the rest of your holiday shopping. But never fear—here's exactly what to put in your husband's stocking for the perfect Christmas morning treat.

When it comes to gifts for your husband, it's always a good idea to make your picks feel personal—and this is just as important for stocking stuffers as it is for big-ticket items. Think about his various interests and what he would actually use, as well as the size of the gifts. After all, stockings usually aren't very big, and half the fun is how creative small gifts can be. Finally—while it's up to you to set your own budget—keep in mind you'll likely be picking up more than one present to fill his stocking, which can start to add up. We're sharing our top stocking stuffer ideas for every type of husband below, with most picks coming in at $30 or below.
