Make the smallest gift of the year the best gift of the year.
By Luke Guillory and Isabelle AdlerSo 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.

$25 at AmazonGuys 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.
