Are you shopping for a man who loves a statement piece of jewelry, but you’re worried about breaking the bank to get one? This beautiful sterling silver men’s ring will fit the bill – and at an affordable price too. He’ll love the highly polished silver and the cool chevron pattern down the sides. But it’s the ring top that’s a smasher. It features two black diamonds flanking an impressive 1.53 carat bezel set citrine. This golden stone has been lauded through the ages as a sign of success, and called the merchant’s stone, for its reputation of generating prosperity.
If you think that design is a little busy for his tastes, he might prefer this citrine men’s ring with a slightly smaller center stone flanked by two rows of created white sapphire. And speaking of sapphire, he might also be enamored with this stunning silver and created sapphire ring with a 6.1 carat deep blue center stone flanked by two natural tanzanite stones on the side.

If you’re wondering “Why the heck is this Tumeric supplement considered a gift?” you might just want to think about how less inflammation, improved mood, and healthier joints might just be the best gift you can give someone you love! If you’re shopping for anyone who works hard and ends up with some inflammation because of it, Tumeric has been shown to dramatically reduce it.

Okay, sometimes a small gift doesn’t mean a small price tag, and that’s okay. If your husband has a hard time finding a place to workout without running to the gym or health club, get him a set of home gym equipment that he can use any time and anywhere. This nifty portable gym set includes all the fitness gear to get in great shape, and after the holiday food fest, you know that’s going to be one of his New Year’s resolutions, right?
This portable home gym equipment can be used for slimming, toning, flexibility, balance, and building muscular strength, power, and endurance. Hopefully, he’ll want to share this set with you too. This set allows him to experiment with more than 300 different exercises giving him tons of flexibility to work out any part of his body.
It’s less than a full year membership at any health club, and there’s enough equipment included that you can both work out together. Because this equipment is folds up into a convenient small case, your husband can always pack a few pieces to take on the road when he travels for work.

Don’t be fooled by the picture. We’re not suggesting you buy your husband a new car this year (although you could – it definitely would not qualify as a small gift.) What we are suggesting is that you save your sweetie a winter’s worth of scraping ice and freezing cold hands to begin his day. If your hubby gives you the garage and parks his rig outside, this awesome windshield cover protects his windshield from frost, snow, and sun too. It stays in place, thanks to six powerful magnets that hold it down even in the windiest weather.
It also features security flaps that can be tucked into the car doors so it can’t be easily stolen. Another cool feature of this windshield cover is that it also comes with protective side mirror flaps to keep them ice free as well. If your husband drives a larger truck or SUV, you’ll need an appropriate size cover. We recommend this windshield cover instead as the perfect gift for him.

It’s ideal for measuring more than length, however, because he can also accurately calculate surface area, and more and on a big project, it will capture save up to 5,000 measurements.

There’s nothing more relaxing than a massage, but most men don’t or won’t take the time to get one for themselves. That’s why this cool small gift makes perfect sense for the man in your life. This shiatsu neck massager is super portable, simple to use and has both 3D massaging nodes and heat to help ease away his tension and stress, at the end of the day or at the office if he so chooses.
Neck massagers come in a wide variety of models, but we like this one for its portability. He can even use it in the car to make his commute home more comfortable. It simply slides over the headrest and has an adaptor that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Of course, we don’t recommend that he use this while he’s driving, as it could be a bit of a distraction.

When it comes to super cool and futuristic, as well as good looking and efficient, we’re kind of nuts about The Ridge Authentic Wallet, and we think your guy will be too. This minimalist wallet is RFID blocking, so no bad guys can steal your good guy’s identity, but what he’ll really love is the narrow profile that won’t ruin his pants or feel like he’s sitting on a giant pillow.
This wallet holds up to 12 credit cards without stretching out, and the money clip makes it simple to get at his cash without his cards falling out. It’s been hand torched to give the titanium a cool looking finish, and the elastic screws are interchangeable and this wallet comes with spares and the tool to swap them out.
It can be a tiny bit confusing to use at first, so he might want to check out this video to clarify exactly how to use it.

When you’re looking for super cool small gifts for men that are more than what they seem on the surface, this tactical pen should be one to consider.

This cool tool also includes an LED flashlight, a multitool, and a glass breaker that can smash a car window if you’re in an accident and can’t get out. Another cool little gift of an idea if you’re shopping on a tight budget is a credit card multitool.

There are those times when a small gift idea wins out because it’s just too cool for words, but normally we have a bit higher standards than that. The good news here is that this Infinity Orb Bluetooth speaker is both wicked cool, and it delivers dynamic surround sound too. Sweet.
As it levitates from its base, the speaker continuously illuminates with color changing LED lights to give it that otherworldly look. It wirelessly connects to his phone or any of his Bluetooth enabled devices withing 10 meters, to play his favorite music, podcasts and more.

It even has a coaster to set his morning coffee on so that he can get ready for work and load up his pockets or bag in one convenient area. A bonus for both of you is that it looks totally cool.
If your man’s decor is a bit more on the modern side, he might like this beautiful walnut docking station that has very clean and simple lines and even has a wallet holder and change tray in back – great when he’s unloading his pockets at night.

Is your man a noticer? By that, we mean that things catch his eye, and he’d like to take a closer look – be it birds and wildlife, or bugs and flowers.

We love the kinds of gifts that are more than fashionable, but are also surprisingly function in surprising ways. Such is the case with The Tool Belt, a cool looking leather belt that has a hidden secret. The buckle acts as a can opener, while the prongs are actually Phillips and flathead screwdrivers. When he unsnaps the buckle on this full grain leather belt, it contains three wrenches for fixing gear whether he’s on the slopes or on the trail. Get it in three cool colors, and lengths from Small to X-Large.

Is your guy someone who can’t stand to be disconnected from his devices, even when he’s camping or hiking?

This silly, sweary coloring book is the perfect opportunity for your hubby to channel his inner bad boy, in a totally creative and relaxing way.

According to the Huffington Post, coloring is a fabulous way to reduce stress and improve health, and if your sweetie is just coloring his favorite colorful words, he might not need to say them out loud.
Complex patterns and imagery are for more experienced adult colorers, so once he’s mastered his first swear word coloring book, get him the more challenging and equally irreverent Calm the F*ck Down: An Irreverent Adult Coloring Book. To create true works of art, we highly recommend a set of fabulous pencils like the Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, which come in small sets or large. If they are a bit too expensive, pushing you out of the realm of cheap small gifts, a set of 120 Crayola colored pencils won’t set you back quite as much.

Does he constantly lose things like his wallet, keys, or phone? What about the remote to the TV? If he does, a great stocking stuffer idea for men is a bluetooth tracker, and our favorite is the Chipolo Plus Smart Keyring Bluetooth Tracker. What makes this one the best? Its form factor is small, it’s super easy to set up and use, and it’s surprisingly loud (100db, in fact). It has a 12 month battery, and it’s water resistant.
Put it in his wallet and he’ll be able to track its exact location with his smartphone, and when he’s close to it, he can sound the loud alarm so that he can hear it. He can also find his smartphone if he has the Chipolo but doesn’t know where his phone is, regardless of whether or not his phone is on silent.
I’ve found this to be incredibly useful and even got one for my little corgi dog (who loves to dig under the fence in our backyard to go visit the neighbors). It has many uses, and it’s super small — great for throwing in a stocking.
Because stock is getting a little low as Christmas gets close, you could also consider the Tile key finder as an alternative option.

Does he opt for an energy drink or coffee loaded with sugar every day around 3 o’clock? I can’t tell you how many times I used to do that only to regret it later in the day. There’s a better way to get that short burst of energy without having to put harmful chemicals or sugars into your body.
It’s Viter Energy Caffeinated mints. Each mint has 40mg of caffeine (roughly half the caffeine of an 8-ounce cup of joe). It’s available in a 6 pack for $20, and they make great stocking stuffers for men for Christmas because not only will it freshen his breath but it’ll also give him the daily boost he needs to get the job done and push through the workweek.

Sure, he could just use any Dove or Irish Spring like he usually does, but manly men want to use manly men scents, and this is the manliest soap on the market (at least that we’ve seen). It’s artisan soap that smells like bergamot and black pepper, and it’s three times bigger than the average bar of soap you’d find at any big box retailer like Walmart or Target.
The packaging of this soap says it all, as it’s “Designed to meet the high standards of hard working men” and it’s “inspired by drinking a fine scotch in a wood-paneled den”. Over-the-top machismo in soap form, and it happens to smell incredible.

If you can’t imagine fitting a camping stove into his stocking, you haven’t seen this tiny portable camping stove from MalloMe. It is tiny, and I can tell you that because I have one myself. It comes in a box that’s roughly two inches by three inches. Really.
This teeny stove has a piezo lighter, which means it’s easy to start up and get your camp food going. It’s perfect for meals while he’s hiking, hunting, or kayaking.
Just be sure to get him the proper stove fuel and some tasty dehydrated meals to keep his load light and his belly full. An itty bitty cook pan set is another cool stocking stuffer idea. I have these too and they’re awesome.

We’re big fans of YETI coolers, strictly based on their outstanding performance, durability, and ice life, and this YETI Hopper Backflip backpack cooler is no exception. Big enough to handle a day’s worth of drinks and food for your family or friends, it features a closed-cell rubber foam interior that offers far superior cold-holding to ordinary soft coolers.
The exterior is noteworthy as well. It’s made of high-density fabric that’s waterproof, mildew-resistant, and can resist punctures, and damaging UV rays. The waterproof, leakproof zipper is another bonus.
If you’d rather gift him a hardside cooler, the YETI Roadie is one of our favorite rotomolded coolers available.

Men love to have a house that smells wonderful, but they’re not always crazy about fru-fru potpourri and they don’t necessarily love essential oils either. So here’s a fun stocking stuffer that will appeal to his manly sensibilities. This diffuser is the perfect manly scent, a mixture of sea air and bergamot.
If he’s more into the scents of the ocean, there’s a diffuser for that too. The Black Label scented candle is another option for both fragrance and romantic lighting.

If your man likes to sip is liquor on the rocks, these stainless steel big ice balls are the perfect stocking stuffer for him. He can chill a variety of drinks from whiskey and scotch to vodka and liquors with these perfectly sized globes. They lie at the bottom of the glass and do not obstruct his sipping pleasure, unless he tips the glass for a bottom’s up.
They come in a classy velvet box that makes it easy to carry and place them in the freezer. And they chill super fast. Another take on the whiskey ice cube is the ice ball mold for making cool, clear ice balls. Or, you can certainly enhance his sipping pleasure with the Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge. They’re all cool stocking stuffers for him.

I’ve been on the hunt for the strongest coffee that isn’t bitter; I like my coffee especially strong in the morning for a nice pick-me-up. Luckily, one of my local coffee brewers has gone nationwide, and you can buy Death Wish Coffee just about anywhere now. This smooth dark roast coffee makes the perfect stocking filler for any coffee lover. It’s USDA organic and Fairtrade, so you can be confident that he’s drinking quality stuff. It’s super strong (and delicious). Don’t believe me? Check out this review on Amazon:
Got this several weeks ago. Finished the first pot and then rebuilt the motor in my Chevelle. While it was running. While riding my Harlye. And reloading ammo. Wife wanted a cup but the coffee maker jumped off the counter, beat the refrigerator like a JV wrestler and then ran off yelling something about destroying ISI. 12/10 will purchase again.
Best of all? Death Wish puts their money where their mouth is, so if he ends up hating it (he won’t), you can return it for a full refund, no questions asked.

A man with a good beard needs to take care of that beard, or it’s going to look unruly (and potentially smell a bit funky by the end of the day). As a beard-o, myself, I’ve personally tested more beard balms and shampoos than I can count, and my favorite, by far, is the Honest Amish Beard Balm.
It’s made from hair enhancing oils, some of which you frequently hear about in hair commercials like avocado and almond. It’s also made from pumpkin seeds and apricot kernals, and it includes things like shea, aloe, cocoa, and kokum just to name a few. The Honest Amish Beard Balm doesn’t use any fake fragrances, either, and it’s a masterfully crafted beard balm he’ll love. It’ll soften his beard, give it a nice shine, and it’ll smell so great you’ll just want to stick your face in it.

I’m always glad to have a husband who’s nice enough to do most of the heavy lifting, but sometimes I want to channel my own superpowers for a really big job, which is why I bought him and me the Greenworks 40V Cordless Chainsaw.
