Last week I released my 2018 Gift Guide For Him and this week it’s all about the stocking stuffers!

All of these gifts are under $25 and are also perfect for a couple who has just started dating.

  1. Gift cards for his favorite dining places – Jett and I still live separately because he’s in training so gift cards to his favorite restaurants are always a win, especially during football season!
  2. Scratchers – Who doesn’t love a gift that keeps on giving?! Stop by your local gas station and pick up a couple of scratchers- who knows, your honey may win big!
  3. Photo of you two – Let’s face it- if your military man is off at training or deployed he could definitely use a cute picture of you two to keep his spirits up! I usually print my photos off at Walmart and stop by the dollar store for a cheap frame. They have some really cute fold frames that I have on my desk and around my apartment.

  4. 100 reasons why you love him – I know this is cheesy, but it will get your guy through those long nights alone while he’s away at training or on deployment. I always try to include a handmade or sentimental gift every holiday.
  5. His favorite candy – Duh.
  6. Powerbars – Men love snacks.
  7. Gatorade powder mix – Jett is always going to the vending machine and doesn’t listen to me when I tell him it’s cheaper to buy a pack of Gatorade at the store. Enter powder mixes.
  8. Energy drink – Do you have a guy who doesn’t drink coffee? Energy drinks are the answer! Jett is a big fan of Xyience and they’re beginning to be easier to find in regular grocery stores.
  9. Sleep mask – This is an essential item for these guys. They have roommates when they’re in training or on deployment. They’re also great for travel.
  10. Camping socks – Last year my grandma got Jett the socks I linked below and we’re both obsessed with them. He wears them when he has to stay out in the field overnight. Who knew socks would be such a great gift?
