HollyDay Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Dh is hard to shop for. He is very particular about clothes. I have no idea what to get him for Christmas as a gift much less stocking stuffers. So i'm starting with the stocking stuffers in hopes of getting inspired. Interests: sailing history guitar woodworking Ideas please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twolittleboys Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Maybe some small craft set for a ship in a bottle (or similar)? Books about history/sailing? Guitar picks (Is that what they are called)? Notes? A special knife/plane etc. for woodworking? Cool socks? A magazine to go with one of his hobbies?

Tina Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 A book of historic/folk songs for his guitar Woodworking magazine Fold up table for woodworking? I know dh got a Black and Decker one a while back. Oops. We were talking stockings. Dremel bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Have you seen the guitar pick makers? Those are fun. Strings. Can’t ever go wrong with massage oil. I know, TMI, but always a hit for sore muscles. What part of history? Area/time period? Something to do with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Guitar strings? (He probably has a favorite brand) I've just discovered Worksman's Friend Barrier lotion. I got some for my dh who enjoys working on his car. Usually his hand are not 100% afterward (mostly around his nails) regardless of how much he scrubs. This stuff is great! He worked on his car all Saturday and most of Sunday and still has nicely clean hands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Last Christmas, I got my guitar-playing dd a little carved wooden box for guitar picks from Etsy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseball mom Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My dh gets candy, earbuds, candy, notepad, candy, socks, candy, candy, candy. Dh has a sweet tooth and loves candy so that's what he gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 These don't relate to his interests necessarily, but when I did dh's stocking last year, the two biggest hits were surprisingly a tiny tin of Nivea for Men hand cream and a little shammy for cleaning his glasses. They were both things I grabbed on a whim, but he has really loved having them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a serving tray made with a local lake on it. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Someone else already said this, but I'll second it: a pick punch. What about those little multipurpose tools that fit in a wallet like a credit card? Edited October 24, 2018 by alisoncooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Not a stocking stuffer, but last year I got Dh a set of Helly Hansen Rain gear for sailing that he really liked. He goes in the ocean for week long trips sometimes so it is vital gear but having nice brands makes it much more comfortable. It was from Amazon and had free returns, so I bought it close to Christmas so the return window would still be open after the holiday. I bought two sizes, to make sure he had the right size (thin/tall so goes between medium/large) and returned the other set. I think they were about $50 a piece for each jacket and pant, so about $100 total. Another holiday I bought him good sailing boots for rain. I don't remember he details on those, just found them on a really good sale one day and lucked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Small notebooks, particularly with graph paper, from Field Notes are a big hit with dh and his brother. https://fieldnotesbrand.com/#products Magnetic putty. Bouncy ball. Our stockings always feature snacks and fun writing utensils, because they're cheap and everyone can use them or easily give them to someone who can. I don't buy for hobbies because it's so often a waste of money if it's not what the person wanted. dh and I have gone years without buying gifts for each other, bc we basically buy things as we want them. And it's all our money, so, y'know . . . Everyone gets a stocking (yes, I do my own, lol). When the kids were younger, we would make a point of having a few gifts to open bc they would be disappointed otherwise. These gifts were usually picked out and purchased by the recipient ? Does your dh want gifts? If he tells you not to worry about it, then don't worry about it (I mean, definitely make it clear that you plan to do this, lol). Fill a fun stocking. If you have kids who will want him to have a gift, tell him to pick out a shirt or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
