Every product was carefully curated by an Esquire editor. We may earn a commission from these links. Here’s how we test products and why you should trust us. Make the smallest gift of the year the best gift of the year. So you got the big gifts, the most popular gifts, out of the way right? Maybe the new TV he's been wanting or the drone for his latest photography kick—whatever it is, the big gifts are done. So now it's time to focus on the most underrated parts of the holidays: stocking stuffers. Small, but mighty, a stocking stuffer says, "I'm thinking about you," without taking up all the space under the tree. This year, we're all about focusing on the little gifts. Because with all the big stuff, you get the practical things out of the way. With the little stuff, you have a chance to make him laugh, to surprise him with a new fragrance, or to give him some other little luxury. Don't underestimate the stocking. To get you started, we sent our gift-giving experts out to find the best stocking stuffers for men. Each little thing here should fit easily enough into a stocking, but we went for stuff he'll actually like. Chocolate bars, sleep masks, slim wallets, whatever he wants, we've got something for him. Shop our favorite stocking stuffers, or just scroll the list for some inspiration. Gift him a new suitcase and this AirTag so he never loses it. Some chile crisps to take his stir-fries, omelettes, vinaigrettes, or anything else to the next level. The most enduringly cool sunglasses of all time, not a bad gift idea. Giving a grown man a Tamagotchi is a great fatherhood aptitude test. Long live the DVD player. Your life will be cut into two periods: the time before you knew Yeti made latte cups and the time after you knew Yeti made latte cups. Careful, if you get these for one guy in the family, everyone else is going to get jealous. Guys like super-functional things, and they're weird about chapstick. At that cross section, you've got lanolin. Lanolin is a by-product of wool production. It's the natural fat that wool-having animals produce. When you boil wool, this fat separates from it. Ancient Greeks used it do dress wounds. Today, he can use it wherever he needs serious skin hydration—lips, cuticles, knuckles. I love a scented lotion before bed. Holiday times, hot shower, good lotion, clean sheets—that's what I'm looking forward to all year. If I had to pick one lotion for it, it'd be Néceessaire Santal. Smells divine, feels divine. Less ostentatious than an allover GG print, but it still comes with that air of Gucci luxury. Well ... I wonder what he's going to use this one for. Even a man with an extensive watch collection can find a time and place to rock a Timex Weekender. On a hike, doing yard work, or going for a Sunday run—it's the perfect analog alternative to a beat-it-up smartwatch. Yeah, it's a gag gift, but it makes a great one for a random cousin, brother, or childhood friend. And once they use it at a party or two, they might actually start to love this little thing. Fancy He puts too much work into his baby for it to smell like Little Trees. Get him a designer air freshener. They'll never get a reservation, so Carbone at home will have to suffice. Thankfully, the sauce is really fucking good. A James Bond fanatic will recognize this pen from GoldenEye. Any other man will say, "I've been meaning to buy a nice pen." A shower speaker makes a great little stocking stuffer. Our Christmas Eve celebrations involve a lot of dehydrating cocktails, so hydrating on Christmas morning is essential.... Liquid I.V. has been our Gift of the Year for three years running. A blender bottle for his workout drinks? Cool. A blender bottle for his workout drinks that has nesting compartments for supplements and powders? Incredible. His favorite drink, crafted and bottled by some of the best bartenders in New York City.
