If you thought shopping for gifts for guys was hard, try looking for stocking stuffers for those same guys. Good ideas are just as difficult to come by, except multiply it by, like, a million when you consider the fact that the gifts also have to be small enough to fit inside a stocking and still be relatively affordable. Who wants a super-expensive present to get lost in a sock full of gag gifts and candy, right?

To help you out this year, I took it upon myself to do the digging for you (thank me later). From accessories for the grill and bar to all the products he needs to look and smell really good, I've found the best stocking stuffers for men—most of which are under fifty bucks, by the way. It wasn’t easy, but now I know what I’m getting every guy on my list, so there’s that. Hopefully, they don’t see this. Anyway, keep reading for the 22 best gifts to put in any man’s stocking, whether you're shopping for a teenage boy, your dad, or even your husband.
