What to look for in stocking fillers for lads
Budget. Every pick here was between £6.49 and £9.95 when we checked, so you can mix a few.
Useful over novelty. Small tools, torches and grooming products are things they will keep using after Christmas.
Pocket size. Keyring torches and multi tool pens are easy to carry every day.
Grooming. If he has a beard, a beard care kit is a safe choice; if not, consider a good shower gel or lip balm instead.
Charging. Rechargeable gadgets usually come with a cable but not a plug, so check the listing.
Lighters and tools. Some gadgets are age-restricted on Amazon UK, so check the listing if you are buying for a teenager.
Snacks and socks. A stocking for a lad is not complete without a few edible treats and a decent pair of socks, which are easy to pick up alongside the gadgets here and help fill out the stocking without blowing the budget.
Wrapping. Small gadgets in plain boxes look better wrapped individually, which also makes the stocking last longer on Christmas morning.
Delivery date. Check the delivery date on Amazon so the gifts arrive before Christmas Eve.
