Stocking fillers for him and dad

Good stocking fillers for him are small and useful with a bit of fun: beard oil, a whisky glass, a Dad Fuel mug, a car diffuser or a sardine tin bottle opener.

By Behzad Hosseini, founder of Next Day Gifts · Updated 8 October 2026

Key points

  • Pick things he'll use: grooming, a drink, coffee or the car.
  • A little humour works well: a Dad Fuel mug or a bottle opener in a sardine tin.
  • Pair two small gifts, like beard oil with a beard brush, to make a fuller present.
  • Delivery is free over £35, so a few stocking fillers often travel free.

What are good stocking fillers for men?

Grooming is a safe bet if he has a beard or stubble. A 50 ml beard oil in one of four scents and a bamboo beard brush make an easy pair, and a car diffuser keeps his car smelling good.

What are good stocking fillers for dad?

Something for his favourite drink always lands. Try a Dad Fuel mug with a coffee scoop clip, a Viking compass whisky glass with a cork coaster, or a glass beer tankard.

What are fun stocking fillers for him?

For gamers, music fans and anyone who likes a laugh: a D20 dice mug, a bottle opener in a sardine tin, a cassette-tape storage box or a cold brew coffee candle.

What about something he can keep?

A journal or a wallet lasts long after Christmas. The Viking compass A5 journal comes with a matching pen, and the compass wallet is an everyday piece he'll carry.
