Stuff Your Holiday Stockings with These Awesome Gifts

When done right, the stocking can be one of the best parts of Christmas. There’s just something wonderful about digging into a packed stocking to find the nearly endless stream of gifts stuffed into that giant sock. With that in mind, here are a few stocking stuffer gift ideas for every type of person on your list.

Buy This Gift for the Burger-Flippin’ Grillmaster

Ideal for anyone that spends summers hovered over a gas grill, the Grill Gauge Propane Tank Scale will give your favorite grillmaster a visual indicator on when the ole propane tank needs a refill.

Buy This Gift for Someone that Gets Lost in the Woods

Useful for campers, hikers or basically anyone with a horrible sense of direction, the Lifestraw can be a lifesaver when you run out of drinking water. Removing a minimum of minimum 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites, you can drink from a stream safely.

Buy This Gift for the Master Chef

There’s nothing more annoying in the kitchen than attempting to peel skin off a garlic clove by hand. Enter the Tube Roller Garlic Peeler, a simple kitchen tool that strips garlic cloves of skin in seconds.

Buy This Gift for Someone that Prefers Tea over Coffee

Peeking out of the top of your mug with a silly smile, the MANATEA Silicone Tea Infuser perches on the rim of your tea cup in order to make your tea. It’s made of silicone, thus the material won’t impact the flavor of the tea.

• MSRP: $11  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: $4

Buy This Gift for a Funko Pop! Collector

You can really get Funko Pop! characters in almost any genre of pop culture now. The Ron Swanson Funko Pop! is no exception. He can stand on your desk at work, staring at you disapprovingly as you work on your TPS reports.

Buy This Gift for the Star Wars Geek

Mimobot USB Flash Drives come in almost any geeky character you can think of. One of my favorites is the Darth Vader Unmasked version because lifting the cap off reveals Vader’s creepy face.

Buy This Gift for Someone that Often Works in the Dark

Ideal for situations like changing a tire in the middle of the night, the Stanley Hand Tools Mini Tripod Flashlight is a fantastic tool for anyone that has to hold a flashlight while working. It offers up an extremely bright 5mm white, long-lasting LEDs as well as a shatter-resistant lens and slip-resistant rubber grip / feet.

Buy This Gift for the Special Cat (or Dog) in Your Life

Technically, the Accoutrements Inflatable Wizard hat for Cats is designed for felines, but I can’t see any good reason why a small dog couldn’t rock one as well. According to the box, “cats love it.” (Can’t you tell by the picture?)

• MSRP: $1 1 | Lowest Price on Ben’s: N/A

Buy This Gift for the Chronic Texter

Is there anything worse in life than having to take the time and energy to remove your gloves before responding to that important text message or capturing that once in a lifetime Instagram moment?

Thanks to Columbia’s Omni-Heat Touchscreen Gloves (and many others like them), this simply isn’t a problem anymore. If you don’t care about the brand name, you can find touchscreen gloves for as low as a couple bucks on eBay.

• MSRP: $35  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: N/A

Buy This Gift for Someone Who Loves the Great Outdoors

Nice socks are one of those things that no one really wants to spend their own money on but always appreciate getting as a gift. Once you’ve worn SmartWool socks, you’ll never want to go back to wearing regular old socks, ever again.

I’ve been getting a pair of these in my stocking every year for the past five years or so, and it’s awesome knowing that in just a couple years I’ll have an entire week’s worth of these awesome socks in my possession. Amazon and REI are probably going to have them for the lowest prices.

• MSRP: $12 to $25  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: N/A

Buy This Gift for the Music Lover

Wireless Bluetooth speakers are becoming smaller and smaller (and cheaper and cheaper), making them the perfect stocking stuffer for the music lover in your life. The Ancord Micro Bluetooth Speaker gets solid reviews (Grade B on FakeSpot), especially for the price.

• MSRP: $18  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: N/A

Buy This Gift for the Man More Manly than Ron Swanson

The classic Leatherman Wingman Multitool includes a knife, pliers, wire cutters, scissors, screwdrivers, bottle opener and more — all the basic tools any man should carry in his pocket at all times. If they’ve already got a multitool like this, here’s a list of 10 more ideas from TheArtofManliness.com.

• MSRP: $50  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: $35

Buy This Gift for Someone With a Sweet Tooth

It just wouldn’t be a stocking without something good to eat inside. This year, skip the candy canes and chocolate orange and try something a little more unique, like the Vosges Chocolate Bacon Bar. If for some weird reason bacon isn’t your thing, Vosges also makes other exotic chocolate bars like the Smoke & Stout Caramel Bar and the Reishi Mushroom and Walnut Dark Chocolate Bar.

Buy This Gift for the Kid Obsessed with LEGOs

Has there ever been a child a who didn’t like Legos? The LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Microfighter (with tiny Chewie!) contains 92 pieces and is small enough to fit in a stocking. Lego makes many other mini sets, many under $10. Check out Lego Store for special holiday sets and other stocking stuffer ideas.

Buy This Gift for the Girl Who Deserves Some Pampering

Lush makes some of the best bath products in the world. But they are pretty expensive and I (like most girls I would guess) feel kind of guilty spending $6 on a bath bomb that I ‘m only going to use once, even if that one time will result in the greatest bath of all time. That’s what makes Lush handmade bath bombs and bubble bars the perfect stocking stuffers for the special lady in your life.

• MSRP: $6 to $12  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: N/A (though they do run BOGO free promos from time to time)

Buy This Gift for the Family Man/Woman

A Star Wars family decal set is a great gift for the mom or dad who is super proud of his/her family & loves Star Wars. Every member of the family can pick the character they most identity with (or just think is the coolest). Not a Star Wars fan? You can also find similar sets with Marvel superheroes, zombies and more.

• MSRP: $20  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: N/A

 Check Amazon for Star Wars Decals

   I am very tempted to get that horn for one of my pets. I’ve always wanted a unicorn. This would be a viable alternative to the real thing.
