Small gifts for him – 12 ideas: wallets, socks, slippers and more

This list is meant for stockings, office gift swaps and the colleague or brother-in-law you don't know very well. Most of the items are accessories, so size is rarely an issue.

Wallets

Levi's brown trifold wallet. For someone who still carries cash and receipts; a trifold has room for both.
Steve Madden black slim leather wallet. Better for a man who pays mostly by card and keeps his wallet in a front pocket.
Timberland black leather passcase wallet. A passcase is a bifold with an extra flap, generally used to keep an ID apart from the cards. Handy for someone who shows ID at work or travels often.

Belts

Timberland brown classic leather jean belt. Made for jeans, so a good match for someone whose week is mostly casual.
Dockers brown leather casual belt. The same idea, and it also works with chinos.

Hats and socks

Carhartt grey A18 watch cap beanie. A plain grey knit cap from a workwear brand, for job sites, dog walks or the stands at a game.
Calvin Klein black logo baseball cap. For the man who wears a cap all year; black goes with any jacket.
Smartwool burgundy Hike Light Cushion ankle socks. A gift for hikers, or for anyone who spends the day on his feet.

At home and at the gym

adidas black Adilette shower slides. For the gym, the pool or the locker room.
Dearfoams grey memory foam clog slippers. For evenings at home; a clog shape slips on without using hands.

Clothing

Lucky Brand blue Venice burnout notch neck tee. Burnout fabric generally has a thin, slightly sheer, worn-in look. For someone who lives in T-shirts.
Wrangler black fleece quarter-zip. A layer for cool mornings, over a tee or under a jacket.

If you're unsure about size

Wallets, caps and the beanie need no size. For a belt, look at one he already wears: belt sizes are usually measured differently from pant sizes, so the label inside his jeans is not a safe guide. For the tee, fleece, socks and slippers, check the tag of something he wears often, and ask the store for a gift receipt if it offers one.
