These 43 plus gifts are the best Christmas stocking stuffer gift ideas for Dad this year.
Christmas stockings aren’t just for kids anymore, even though that was the tradition initially.
It was either an empty sock or a sock-shaped bag that was hung on a bedpost or above a fireplace on Christmas Eve.
Santa Claus would then come to fill up these sock-type bags with small toys, candy, fruit, coins, or other stocking stuffers.
This was Santa’s calling card. However, as times changed, so did the tradition and its fabled story.
Now Christmas stockings are popular with the adults. Dads especially love them, in addition to presents under the tree.
The question remains, what are some of the best Christmas stocking stuffers to give to your dad?
Each and every dad will be unique; however, this is a general list that you can tailor to dad’s preferences and tastes this holiday season.
If you’re looking for stocking stuffers for mom too, check out the earlier Best Stocking Stuffer Gift Ideas for Mom.
