Don't blow a ton of dough on your guy's stocking. These cheap stocking stuffers for men are sure to please:

1. Knife Sharpener

Tuck a small knife sharpener into your guys stocking, and he'll have every knife in the house sharpened in no time. My personal favorite is the two-stage pocket knife sharpener by Smiths. It's small enough to fit into a pocket or junk drawer, and it only costs $5.35.

Is your guy a yard saler? If so, you've got to tuck a tape measure keychain into his stocking. He can use it to measure all his potential yard sale treasures (and yours too).

Put a stop to the endless cycle of battery buying by tucking a pack of rechargeable batteries into your guys stocking. If you match up a coupon with a sale, you won't spend much more than you would for the regular ones.

6. Shop Rags

This gift is as much for you as it is for him: tuck a pack of shop rags into the toe of his stocking, and you won't have to worry about finding your good towels out in the garage again.

7. A Wheel Brush

Help your guy keep his ride in tip top shape by giving him with a wheel brush. If you're lucky, he may use it on your car too.

8. Bug and Tar Remover

Your guy probably has plenty of car wash concentrate and tire shine, but he may not have any bug and tar remover in his cleaning arsenal. Add some to his stocking, and you're sure to earn an approving nod.

9. A Squeegee

That car windshield is much easier to keep clean when you have a good squeegee on hand. Give him one with a telescoping handle, and it will come in handy when he needs to clean the house windows, too.

10. Waterproof Matches

Survival gear is always a winner in guy land. Stick some waterproof matches in his stockings, and you'll be giving a gift that's both practical and fun.
