Tech and Desk
Everything here lives on a desk or in a pocket, and none of it needs a subscription. Eight things from fourteen to forty dollars: two speakers, a laser measure, a tripod, two torches and a clock fan. The laser measure is the one he will still use in ...
A pocket Bluetooth speaker rated at twenty-four hours, small enough for a jacket. Twenty dollars, and that is where a speaker becomes something you take outside. It is a single driver, so do not expect a room to fill.
BolaButty Portable Bluetooth Speaker, 24H
A desk stand with a wireless speaker built into the base, so a call comes out louder than a laptop. Thirty dollars, and it folds flat for travel. The stand is plastic, so it suits a desk rather than a workshop.
Cell Phone Stand Bluetooth Speaker LED Light
A pocket laser measure that gives a distance in one press rather than a tape that snaps back. Thirty dollars, and it reads across a room without a second person. It needs a flat surface to bounce off, so curtains and glass give bad numbers.
HOTO Pocket Laser Measuring Tool Gift
A small flashlight with a magnetic base and a hook, so it sticks to a car bonnet or a fusebox. Fourteen dollars, and it recharges over USB. The magnet holds the light, not a hand pulling on it.
Stocking Stuffers Men Magnetic Flashlight
A flexible tripod with legs that wrap around a rail or stand on a table. Sixteen dollars, and it holds a phone in either orientation. The joints are the part that wears, so treat the legs as plastic.
Ubeesize Flexible Phone Tripod with Remote
A small fan with blades that spell the time as they spin, powered from a USB port. Sixteen dollars, and it is the desk thing that gets shown to everyone once. It is a novelty, so do not buy it for someone who wants quiet.
LED USB Clock Fan with Real Time Display
Two gloves with a light on the back of each hand, so both hands stay free under a sink. Eighteen dollars, and the batteries are the part that fails first. They come in one size, and that is the usual problem with glove gifts.
LED Flashlight Gloves - Christmas Gifts for Men
A rugged speaker with a clip and a rubber shell, built to be dropped on a campsite. Forty dollars, and it is loud enough for a garden. It is heavier than a pocket speaker, so it lives in a bag.
Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker Waterproof with Torch
Grooming and Everyday Carry
Grooming and the things that go in a pocket, from ten to forty dollars. Eight items: four beard kits for men who already have a beard, and four leather pieces for keys and cards. The kits are scented, so buy them for someone whose taste you know. The...
A beard kit with wash, oil and balm in one box, from a brand that sells refills. Thirty-five dollars, and the three steps are printed on the packaging. It is scented, so check before buying for someone who avoids fragrance.
Every Man Jack Beard Care Kit, Sandalwood
A boxed beard kit with oil, balm, a brush and scissors for twenty dollars. It is the version to buy when you do not know what he already owns. The scissors are the weakest piece, so treat them as spares.
Beard Kit Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Men
Three small bottles of beard oil in different scents, eighteen dollars for the set. It is the refill gift for someone who already has a routine. Oil goes off within a year, so buy it close to the date.
Beard Kit for Men, 3 Oils, Gift Set
A conditioning kit with beard shampoo, oil and balm in sandalwood, thirty dollars. The shampoo is the part that makes a difference in winter. Sandalwood is a strong scent, so it is a gift for someone whose taste you know.
Viking Revolution Beard Conditioning Kit - Sandalwood
A two-ounce tin of beard balm in sandalwood, ten dollars. It is the small add-on that makes a bigger gift look finished. Balm is heavier than oil and suits a longer beard, so it is wasted on stubble.
Viking Revolution Beard Balm - Sandalwood - 2 oz
A leather key holder that stacks keys on a bolt rather than a ring, fifteen dollars. It stops a pocket of keys from jingling all day. It holds a set number of keys, so count before buying for someone with a work ring.
Key Organizer Leather Holder for 2-8 Keys
A leather key organiser from Orbitkey, forty dollars, with a loop for a car key. It is the version that lasts rather than the version that looks like it will. The leather softens and the bolt needs checking every few months.
orbitkey Premium Leather Key Organizer
A leather card wallet engraved with a name, nineteen dollars, made after you order. It holds cards rather than notes, so it suits someone who has gone cashless. Engraving adds days to the order, so buy it before the middle of December.

Tools and the Garage
For the garage, the boot of the car and the drawer that holds the tools. Eight things between eight and thirty-five dollars, including three multi-tools, a pair of work lights and a camera on a cable. None of it needs a plug and none of it is a power...
A short right-angle screwdriver for the screws a normal driver cannot reach under a sink. Nine dollars, and it takes standard bits. It is for tight corners and awkward panels rather than for building anything.
Right Angle 90° Ratcheting Screwdriver Set
Two rechargeable work lights with magnets and hooks, ten dollars for the pair. One lives in the car and one in the cupboard, and that is why the pair makes sense. They run for a few hours and charge over USB.
Coquimbo 2 Pack Rechargeable Work Light
A socket of spring-loaded pins that grips nuts and bolts of almost any size. Eight dollars, and it saves a trip to find the right one. It will not take serious torque, so use it for loosening rather than tightening.
Stocking Stuffers Men Universal Socket Tool
A camera on a flexible cable that sends a picture to a phone, for looking inside a wall or an engine. Thirty dollars, and the cable is long enough for a drain. The picture is good in light and useless in the dark.
Daxiongmao 1080P HD Endoscope Camera
A twenty-one function multi-tool with pliers, a saw and drivers in one steel body. Twenty-five dollars, and it lives in a glovebox without complaint. The tools are short, so it is for small jobs rather than a project.
MOSSY OAK 21-in-1 Stainless Steel Multitool
A camping multi-tool with an axe head, a saw and pliers in one handle. Twenty-seven dollars, and it is the one to keep in a car boot. The axe is small, so it splits kindling rather than logs.
16-in-1 Multitool Camping Survival Gear
An eighteen-function camping tool with a knife, saw and can opener in a pouch. Twenty-five dollars, and it covers a weekend away without a toolbox. The tools are short and the pouch is the part that fails first.
18 in 1 Multitool Camping Survival Gear
A LED sign shaped for a garage wall, thirty-five dollars, with a plug rather than batteries. It is the gift that fills the empty wall rather than the drawer. Check the length before buying, since it is wider than it looks.
Dad's Garage Neon Sign LED Light 12.6x16.5
Games and Cheap Add-Ons
Games and the cheap things that stop a job being annoying, from twelve to forty-two dollars. Eight items: three poker sets, a dartboard cabinet, four small tools and a set of cord holders. The games are for a house with a table and friends who stay l...
Three hundred chips, two decks of cards and a dealer button in a metal case. Thirty-four dollars, and the case is why it survives a decade. The chips are light, so it is a home game rather than a casino night.
Spin Master 300-Piece Casino Poker Set
Three hundred chips in an aluminium case with dice and cards, thirty-four dollars. It is the same idea as the set above with heavier chips. Check the weight on the listing if the feel of the chips matters.
Boyzhood 300 Pcs Poker Chips Set with Case
An eighteen-inch dartboard inside a cabinet that closes, with darts included. Forty-two dollars, and the doors protect both the wall and the board. It needs a solid wall and about eight feet of clear floor behind the thrower.
Trademark Poker Dart Board Cabinet Set 18" Walnut
Two hundred chips with a case, cards and buttons for thirty dollars. It is the set for four players rather than eight. The case is plastic, so it is for a cupboard rather than a car boot.
Poker Chip Set 200PCS with Aluminum Case
An eighteen-function tool shaped like a snowflake that hangs on a keyring. Twelve dollars, and it opens bottles, screws and nuts. It is a stocking filler rather than a tool, so buy it as one.
18-in-1 Stainless Steel Snowflake Multi Tool
A folding pocket knife with a few drivers and a bottle opener, thirteen dollars. It clips to a pocket and disappears until it is needed. Check the blade rules before giving it to someone who travels.
Pocket Multitool Knife - Gifts for Men Dad
A hammer with fifteen tools folded into the handle, twenty dollars. It is the one to keep in a kitchen drawer for hanging a picture. The head is light, so it is not for framing.
Hammer Multitool 15 in 1 - Unique Gifts for Men
Four holders that keep extension cords off a garage floor, twenty dollars. It is the unglamorous gift that removes a trip hazard. They screw to a wall, so they need a drill and ten minutes.
