Ever find you’ve gotten everyone a present…except your husband?
Some years it just happens. The neighbors have their Christmas cookie plate, the teacher gifts are ready, you’ve prepped for the white elephant gift exchange for work, and you even think you’ve got equal presents for the kids.
And then comes the dreaded realization that your husband is, as of this moment, gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas, through no fault of his own.
Guys are just hard to buy for. If your husband is anything like the men in my life, he’s also probably pretty poor at articulating his wish list before New Year’s Eve.
In previous years, I’ve written huge posts about
stocking stuffers for your husband, which have become some of my most popular ones. I scoured Amazon to try to find some more that were funny and practical.
So here are 10 last-minute stocking-stuffer ideas for your husband, to complement the ones I’ve already come up with:

This is great for husbands who have a hard time falling asleep. He can pop on a podcast, white noise, or audiobook to help stop the obsessive “what time is it?! It’s been so since I slept!” merry go round.
These sleep headphones lay flat against your head as part of a headband, so they won’t hurt your ears like traditional earbuds do when you’re lying down.
They’re also great for exercising in places (like Ontario!) where the winters are cold since they fit easily under a hat and cover your ears to boot!


Headlamps are great for camping, for hands free light during a power outage, or for tinkering in a tight space. They’re a nice item to have on hand for emergencies of all varieties and they’re a practical gift that’s still gets points for creativity.


Being passive aggressive is not good behavior. However, it is really fun to laugh at OTHER PEOPLE behaving badly. So pick up a daily dose of permissive fun so you can let off steam starting January 1.

Homemade popcorn is a great snack full stop, but it’s especially great for those of us fighting the battle of the bulge. It’s easily customizable with spices, but the fat content is also controlled. It’s a really fun ritual to make popcorn before sitting down to enjoy a board game or a show each weekend.


Let’s all just be honest with ourselves: Edna Mode was wrong, the Caped Crusader is amazing. Let your Bruce Wayne show his true Batman colors with knee socks that come pre-caped. It’s a legitimately silly gift, but it’ll get a chuckle and that’s a win already.
Bug a salt rifle really works!! Best gift ever!!
My son, brother-on-law, AND 72 year old Father-in-law all have their own guns!! Works well for flies and icky spiders or bugs you don’t want to touch with a tissue! Ask him to kill them!! Or use it yourself!!
That is absolutely hilarious. I’m really thinking of getting one myself!
I bought one several days ago for Christmas simply based on the cleverness and hilariousness of their commercial. Look it up on YouTube. haha
Haha, number 10 made me laugh, since my husband asked for a tire pump (it turned out there are small ones that have a gauge and can be plugged inside the car!)
I can honestly say my husband wouldn’t appreciate any of these! Or most of the other things you see on “what to buy for your husband” lists. He is extremely difficult to buy for – very nice about whatever I get him, but it tends to stay unused or disappear. This year though, our TV was on the blink, so we decided to buy a new one as our Christmas present to each other. Sorted! I am also planning a twelve days of Christmas thing; I’ve bought a little gift relating to each verse of the song, and my daughter and I are going to write notes or draw pictures to go with them, telling reasons we love him and things we want to say thank you for.
Oh, that’s really lovely, Rosie!
