I have a hard time thinking of things - I could do toiletries I suppose but that seems to practical. What do you put in a guy's stockings or if a guy what would you want? Say under $5.00 items please.

Well my husband and I are not doing stockings this year because he finds trying to stuff a stocking for me really hard. But I can give you some good ideas. The dollar store is the best place to get stocking stuffers, in my opinion. Everything is $1 that way. Here's a list of ideas: a keychain light, a small level, anything digital (men love digital things) like a pedometer, stop watch, etc., comfy socks in a manly color (they would never buy them for themselves but they will wear them), non-shiny man chapstick, tire gauge, air fresherners for his car, shoe deodorizer, in-soles for his work shoes, tagless underwear (makes a big difference in comfort), gloves, a hat, candy, well I've run out of ideas, I hope that helps.

That does give me some ideas, I will have to make a trip there soon to get the kids things anyways. I could definitely use a couple of ideas you mentioned. I love how you call it non-shiny man chapstick! He likes the original chapstick and I can't stand it...maybe that is why he buys it, so I won't ever use it come to mention it.

There's nothing wrong with toiletries for a stocking, I do a little of that. I also get him one or two matchbox cars because he loves them- he's still a kid at heart. I also got him a book of Mad Libs because we enjoy doing those kinds of things together. If he likes playing cards, a deck of cards, or if he likes puzzle games, a small book of crosswords or sudoku. I always put in a little candy. Maybe an inexpensive belt or wallet? Or a car air freshener, or some small thing of his favorite sports team or kind of car- like a key chain or money clip. Or a sticker for the car window. Most of these things have been in my husband't stocking at least once in the last few years.

My husband and I don't have stockings only our kids. If I was to do a stocking for him I guess I would put some hot wheels cars ( he collects them) a pocket knife, some of his favorite candy, little things like that.
