Stocking stuffers can have a bad rap. They’re often gag gifts that you pretend are funny while opening them or knickknacks that end up getting tossed in a drawer or regifted during white elephant parties with coworkers. But these little tokens don’t have to be a bummer if you opt for something practical and fun (but not outright ridiculous).

Really, a stocking stuffer only needs to check one box: small. Warm socks, hats, and gloves aren’t the most original ideas, but they’re still a good choice, especially if you personalize it. Getting running gloves for a future marathoner or a sleek passport cover or luggage tag for an avid traveler carries more weight. And everyone can use pocket-size tech gadgets, like chargers and Bluetooth trackers. If they're more in DIY and outdoor activities, add to their EDC with a nice pen. A multitool is also a solid bet.

We found a ton of stocking-sized gifts that are unique, useful, and great for guys who love tinkering, building, and nerding out.
