While choosing a great holiday gift for your husband is probably your priority for the festive season, it's not the only way to show him some love. Picking out stocking stuffers for your husband can make holiday shopping feel more fun, while allowing you to flex your creative muscles. Need some ideas on how to surprise him on Christmas morning? We'll be sharing our top tips for what to put in your husband's stocking below.

Our advice for finding great stocking gifts for him is to make your picks feel personal.

You can also include a handwritten Christmas message for your husband for a sweet touch. Finally, keep in mind that you'll likely pick up more than one present to fill his stocking, so you'll need to consider your budget too. Here are our top stocking stuffer ideas for husbands (with most picks coming in at $30 or less).

If your husband loves the taste of beer straight from the tap, these stones will give his brew a foamy boost. And, unlike a bulky keg, they'll fit in his Christmas stocking.
