Festive Stocking Fillers for Fellas

9 September 2008

As Christmas edges slowly towards us, and the sound of those Jingle Bells ringing grows increasingly louder; a divide across the nation begins to widen. On one side, those overly organised people who have already bought all their Christmas gifts, and on the other, a panic-stricken crowd who perhaps got a little bit distracted by the Santa's Grotto, and are desperately wondering what gifts they could buy for their loved ones this year.

If we go by the stereotypes then buying gifts for men should be quite simple: socks, whiskey, a sporting biography and a DVD. But no one likes to be predictable and whilst these Christmas gifts are all nice and easy to wrap up, what are you supposed to do for Stocking Fillers?

Buying stocking fillers should be easy when the shops are filled with so many wonderful gifts, some more useful than others. But for anyone who has ever stood still in the middle of a busy high street in mid-December and drawn a blank as to where to go next, then here is a little guide to help you on your way…

Stocking Fillers for the Sophisticated Man
The sophisticated man is a true gent who knows how to appreciate the finer things in life. The choice of stocking fillers can be difficult but it's always best to indulge them in their little pleasures. If the man in your life likes to cook then you could always treat him to a 'Grow it…' gift box. Let him grow his own chilli plants or herbs and these pocket-sized gifts are ideal as stocking fillers. He's most likely to be an organised sort of chap who likes to keep his things in order. If this sounds familiar, then why not treat him to a 'Vehicle Document file Folder' or perhaps go for something a little more personal such as an 'Engraved City Desk Set'?

Stocking Fillers for the Connoisseur
Christmas morning is the only day of the year when it's considered okay to have a drop of alcohol with breakfast (a small drop of Bucks Fizz or Champagne perhaps). For the wine-buff in the family then an engraved '5 Piece Wine Bar Set' can make a truly personal gift – these superior stocking fillers will out-last any hangover. If he knows his Pinot's from his Chardonnay's then you could always pop a 'Wine Tasting Tour' voucher inside his stocking – remarkable Christmas gifts that you can enjoy as well.

Stocking Fillers for the Sporting Pundit
So you already have the sporting biography wrapped and under the Christmas tree with the other gifts, why not go for a hat trick and throw in a couple of sporting stocking fillers too? From mugs and cufflinks, to journals and posters, there are a number of gifts, trinkets and keepsakes to honour his favourite sport. But for something a little more special, then opt for those stocking fillers that he'll never want to throw away. Choose from a variety of personalised calendars that will display your loved one's name on all twelve sporting-themed images. These unique gifts will make him the envy of all his friends.

Stocking Fillers for the Real Romantic
Christmas can be a very romantic time of year and if you're lucky enough to have a 'real romantic' in your life, this is the time to make him feel special with some 'luvvy duvvy' gifts. For those smaller stocking fillers, a 'Lover Duck' or even fridge magnet gifts can easily spell out what you want to say. For a real romantic treat then you could present your man with a special record that honours the song of your choice – the first dance from your wedding perhaps or his favourite tune, even the song that was at number one when he was born. He's bound to be bowled over when you present him with this mounted vinyl and plaque.

Stocking Fillers for The Big Kid
Perhaps the most familiar character of them all, the big kid is certainly catered for when it comes to Christmas gifts and stocking fillers. Whether they be gadgets or toys, the Big Kid is a man who likes to play and is the sort of chap who is usually found 'showing' the kids how to play with their gifts on Christmas morning. For handy Stocking Fillers, how about a 'Cork Screw Key Ring' or a 'Rubber Band Ball'? For the man who likes to play, then indulge him with his favourite toys this year or go for a twist on the traditional ones such as a 'Devil Duck' rubber duck that will glow red with fury when he puts it in water – a little bit of fun at bath time!

With so many ideas for gifts and stocking fillers, this year is sure to be a very merry Christmas indeed.
