This is especially so when you want something unique, something meaningful, and not just another gadget etc or pair of socks.
With gifts for men - you need Practicality + Personal Connection.

You can get him something that is practical, but that is also personal and unique.

The thought was put in by the gift giver. They knew what would ignite an emotional response. The gift then in essence had emotional resonance for him, it had meaning.

Stocking Stuffers Ideas for Men
Personalized keychains be both practical, have daily use for house and car keys, but also can be very personal and unique gifts for the men in our lives.
It can be engraved with a special message, message of love or just a fun message you think he will enjoy.
One of our customers told us - her Dad told her when he is having a tough day, he looks at the message on the keychain and it puts him in a good mood as he thinks of her, as in his daughter.
Another customer simply got engraved to the keychain - Best Dad Ever and her dad loved it. From our experience you don't have to over personalize. Simple is best. Words matter. These words Best Dad Ever will mean more to this ladies Dad than anything. It packs an emotional punch ( nice punch ). Simple can be elegant can be sophisticated. Not overdoing personalization is backed up by research too we can see from this article in Time.

Personalized wallets have the daily use factor but can also be personal to him, so have meaning and show the effort was made.
You can personalized a wallet with his Name a cute written text message or a family name. This makes it personal to him, unique and just shows you got him a thoughtful gift and are showing the love as we say.
