Practical Stocking Stuffers for Men: Useful Gifts He’ll Actually Enjoy!

Duluth Pack Hold-All Snap Wallet

High-quality, American-made wallets are a great way to give a lasting Christmas gift at an affordable price.

Leather Wallets

Duluth Pack is our personal favorite here at Made in the USA Matters. They’ve been crafting bags and other canvas and leather goods made in the USA since 1882! That’s a long time to stay loyal to the Minnesota community that helped build the name.

This signature leather hold-all snap wallet from Duluth Pack runs about $20 and is available in 7 colors and textures. The Maine-made Heritage Wallet is available in 3 colors and retails for about $55.

Duluth Pack has an excellent selection of stocking stuffers and gifts for men under $75, including a leather key fob for about $6, a gear stash bag for around $30, knitted limited edition beanies for $20, and much more. Look around and find the perfect stocking stuffer for the men on your list.

Tactical Wallets

Tactical wallets and wallets offering RFID protection are another option, and they might even be something your dad or husband has never owned. Trayvax wallets are made in the USA and are built to be handed down with an heirloom guarantee, so it’s kind of like buying it for yourself if you’re buying it for Dad.

Trayvax wallets are available in various colors and in numerous material options, including leather, stainless steel, brass, titanium, aircraft-grade aluminum, and more. Prices range from around $35 to about $200, with most options around $45-$85. If you can’t decide, a Travax gift card will be perfect.

Eco-Friendly Wallets

If you’re stuffing a Christmas stocking for an eco-conscious man, we like these wallets from Alchemy Goods. They cost around $20-$40, so they’re budget-friendly too. Alchemy Goods wallets are made from upcycled bicycle tires and advertising banners which is good for the environment. And, of course, Alchemy Goods makes their wallets right here in the USA.

CHANNELLOCK GS-3 3 Piece Straight Jaw Tongue and Groove Pliers Set

Hand tools made in America make excellent Christmas stocking stuffers with perfect-size packaging and a range of prices to fit anyone’s budget. Here are some of our gift-giving favorites.

The Best Pliers Around, and Then Some

Don is a plumber, so having a set of CHANNELLOCKS is a must on the job. However, I can’t tell you how often I hear, “Have you seen my CHANNELLOCKS?” at home. He uses them for just about everything. I’ve never seen him touch a pair of common pliers.

CHANNELLOCK non-locking pliers have been made in the USA since 1886. Other American-made CHANNELLOCK tools include snips, professional drivers, pry bars, and ratcheting wrenches.

Our top stocking stuffer picks…

• This CHANNELLOCK plier set includes 6.5-inch, 9.5-inch, and 12-inch non-locking pliers for small corners, big jobs, and everything in between.
• This 5-piece set includes a screwdriver for every purpose, including 3 Phillips head sizes and 2 flathead sizes.
• All men need a good pry bar because if it doesn’t screw open, pound open, or bang open, they will pry it open. Choose from the 8-inch pry bar or 12-inch pry bar.
• Lastly, the ratcheting wrench set has 8 sizes on a 2-piece set and is heat treated for superior durability.

Household & Trade Specific Tools

Klein Tools was founded in 1857, and to this day, most of its products are still made in the USA. The Klein Tools product line includes insulated screwdrivers and magnetic screwdrivers along with other trade-specific product lines. Choose from these USA made pieces or pick out a set.

Does Dad Have Some Things to Assemble on Christmas Morning?

It will be much sweeter for Dad when his Santa duties begin with a shiny new socket set from SK Tools.
