A really good hand cream/lip balm combo. This one doubles as a lip salve, but it also provides an instant remedy to cracked and overworked hands. Sure, it may feel boring until winter hits, then suddenly it’s his most-used thing.

A leather valet tray is one of those sneaky-good stocking stuffers. I gifted the Leatherology Medium Valet Tray, and it instantly became the spot for his keys, wallet, and watch. It looks polished on a nightstand or entry table, keeps everything in one place, and feels like a real upgrade without taking up much space. He uses it every single day. If you're feeling extra indulgent, you can choose to personalize the gift and engrave his initials. The leatherology's valet tray is $65, but if you're looking for something strictly under $50, this one's under $50.
