Advent Calendar/Stocking Fillers for Men

greenbicycle

Hi All,

I need ideas for really small little presents that will go into an advent calendar for my OH.

He is male, 30, loves sport,fitness,music, cinema.....

I have a list of a few things so far:

cinema tickets,
A DVD we can watch together,
a starbucks voucher,
christmas socks,
a scratch card
breakfast in bed
new earphones

so that gives you an idea of the kind of things I had in mind.

They dont have to be particularly small, I suppose this thread could also double as a stocking fillers for guys (like the other stocking filler thread there is here for a posters girlfriend)

All suggestions welcome!

I always get things like a stock of nice toothbrushes, his favourite sweets, things like deodorant I know that sounds odd but he likes a certain one and the shops only sometimes stock it, some nice shaving bits and pieces..

Superhero pjs/bottoms are all the rage now, or to use as slouchy house clothes I guess, my DH wouldnt wear pj's in bed bout would be handy for round the house.
Cartoon jocks are in now also
lynx set of his favourite scent, ill be getting "Africa", delish!
gillette set, basically a load of razorheads that could do him 1/2 the year.
a book if he reads...
a polo shirt/t-shirt found my dh's fav christmas movie in a t-shirt in asda the other day! cant wait to give it to him!!

I just want to say I love this thread, just wish there were more posts as I could really use some inspiration!

I find it hard to shop for guys in general and this year I have boyfriend, dad and 3 brothers to shop for (one of the brother is in Florida so want to send him a few little bits!) and also the other two brothers just turned 21 this week. Aaaall the difficult presents to buy.

I love the idea of doing up a little hamper with favourite foods or sweets. I've seen them in a few shops but it would be so cheap to make up yourself! You wouldn't even need a hamper as such, just a nice box (or a cardboard one that you could paint or cover in paper like with their football team's colours or something!)

Any other ideas?

PS As regards Lynx Africa my lads aren't a fan but weirdly my sister loves it so she'll be getting a shower gel in her bundle of presents! Each to their own :rolleyes:

I think more women love lynx Africa more than men mmmmm I can smell it already.. There is a grabone deal on at the moment for a retro sweet hamper http://www.grabonestore.ie/deluxe-retro-sweets-hamper-32

I always try to keep track of things that he always forgets to get or to do and get him things like that..

If anyone is into Karl Pilkington too his books are gas really funny, and perfect for stocking fillers

Ooh I meant to say things like extra cables for his phone are always handy to have- the €2 shop have iPhone and Samsung cables that would be grand in a fix, and I also ordered a Belkin car charger including a cable off eBay for about a fiver including postage!

I'm doing something similar for my partner and our daughter. If I (man, techy, sporty, practical, foody, 27) was getting something similar, here's a list of small things that I'd love to see in there - should be able to get most in Pennies or Dealz, but some would be easier to find online:

- Wool/warm socks
- Favourite bar or treat
- Car phone charger
- Nice deodorant
- DE razor blades
- Small tools (Dealz have an ok selection at 1.50 a pop)
- USB key with a film I wanted to see (or a Christmas movie maybe)
- Small kitchen gadgets like a tea infuser
- Nice funky tea leaves
- Nice freshly roasted bag of coffee beans (this would be the golden ticket)
- Watch strap
- Wooly hat
- Nice mug for coffee
- Phone cover or screen protector
- Uncommon herb/spice (or just one that I don't have)
- Mulled wine spice kit

Let me know if that's helpful at all and I can try to think of some more - they're all just off the top of my head.
