Give Gifts They Will Actually Use-Under $40

If you’re like us, you know that shopping for stocking stuffers can be tricky. 

You want gifts that are small enough to actually fit in a stocking and are useful enough to get used. You also want to find something affordable enough that you're not blowing your entire holiday budget on one person's socks.

When that person happens to be an off-road or snowmobile enthusiast, the challenge gets even more specific. 

These folks already have their big-ticket gear, so what small items will actually make them smile on Christmas morning?

After years of stuffing stockings for the trail riders and sled heads in our lives, we've compiled the ultimate guide to stocking stuffers that hit the sweet spot between practical and fun.

Idea 1: Essential Safety and Survival Stuffers

Let's start with the serious stuff. Every off-roader and snowmobiler needs backup safety gear, and these small items make perfect stocking additions.

Fire Starters

The 4-in-1 Krazy Beaver Fire Starter packs serious functionality into a pocket-sized package. It combines a fire steel, scraper, emergency whistle, and compass in one tool. Toss one in their stocking and they'll have backup fire-starting capability wherever they ride.

Traditional waterproof matches and emergency fire cubes also make great additions. Look for the windproof variety that'll work even in harsh conditions.

Emergency Whistles

A Fox 40 Classic Whistle runs about $5-10 and could save someone's life. These pealess whistles work in any weather condition and produce a piercing sound that carries far. Get a bright orange one so it's easy to spot in a gear bag.

Compact Multi-Tools

Skip the giant Swiss Army knives. Look for minimalist options like the Leatherman Squirt or Gerber Dime. These keychain-sized tools include the essentials – knife, scissors, pliers – without the bulk.

Idea 2: Warmth and Comfort Items

Nothing ruins a ride faster than cold hands or feet. These warming accessories fit perfectly in stockings and get used constantly.

Hand and Toe Warmers

HotHands packets are the classic choice, but don't stop at the basic hand warmers. They make toe warmers, body warmers, and even insole warmers. Buy a variety pack and divide them up among stockings.

For a reusable option, look for the rechargeable hand warmers that double as power banks. They're pricier (around $25) but eliminate the waste of disposable warmers.

Thermal Socks

Quality merino wool socks make everyone happy. Smartwool, Darn Tough, and Farm to Feet all make excellent options in the $15-25 range. Look for cushioned models designed for boots.

Neck Gaiters and Balaclavas

A good neck gaiter or balaclava is essential for cold-weather riding. The Turtle Fur brand makes fleece-lined options perfect for snowmobilers, while moisture-wicking synthetic versions work better for active off-roaders. Most run $15-30.

Idea 3: Lighting Solutions

You can never have too many lights when you're out on the trails.

Mini LED Lights

The KC HiLiTES Cyclone V2 LED Rock Light mentioned earlier makes an excellent stuffer at around $30. For budget options, look for keychain LEDs or clip-on safety lights in the $5-15 range.

Headlamps

A backup headlamp is always appreciated. The Petzl Tikka or Black Diamond Spot are reliable choices under $40. For stuffing stockings, the ultra-compact Petzl Zipka retracts into a tiny case.

Glow Sticks

Chemical light sticks seem silly until you need them. Get the 12-hour industrial-grade versions for emergency marking or signaling.

Idea 4: Trail Nutrition and Hydration

Fuel for the ride always fits in a stocking – and here’s where you can start to get really personal with what you pick. 

Electrolyte Mixes

Individual packets of Nuun, Liquid IV, or Tailwind make perfect stuffers. They're lightweight, practical, and something riders actually use. Create a variety pack with different flavors.

Energy Bars and Chews

Skip the grocery store granola bars. Go for quality options like RX Bars, Epic Provisions meat bars, or Honey Stinger energy chews. Think of what they like, and what is likely to keep well across a variety of rides.

Pro tip: Buy a variety and wrap them individually for multiple small gifts.

Trail Mix Upgrades

Want to get uber personal? Make your own premium trail mix! Pick some unique ingredients like wasabi peas, dark chocolate chunks, coconut flakes, and specialty nuts. Package in small bags for a personal touch (and maybe make another for yourself!)

Idea 5: Maintenance and Repair Items

Small tools and maintenance items are always welcome.

Tire Pressure Gauges

A quality pocket gauge runs $10-20. Digital versions are easier to read in low light. Look for models that work with low PSI for airing down on trails.

Zip Ties and Velcro Straps

Every rider needs more zip ties. Get a variety pack of heavy-duty ties in different sizes. Reusable Velcro straps work great for organizing gear.

Lens Cleaning Supplies

Goggle and helmet shield care is crucial. Anti-fog spray, microfiber cloths, and tear-off packs all make useful stuffers for snowmobilers.

Idea 6: Personal Care Items

Don't forget the basics that make long rides more comfortable – these may seem like small gifts, but when you’re on the mountain or trail, they can make a huge difference.

Lip Balm

Get the good stuff with SPF protection. Brands like Duke Cannon or Badger make heavy-duty versions designed for outdoor use. At $3-5 each, you can stuff several flavors.

Sunscreen Sticks

Sun Bum or Thinksport sunscreen sticks are perfect for quick reapplication without removing gloves. They fit in pockets and don't freeze like lotions.

Anti-Chafe Products

Body Glide or chamois cream prevents the painful rubbing that comes with long rides. Not glamorous, but seriously appreciated.

Idea 7: Fun Extras and Branded Gear

Round out the stocking with some fun items that show personality.

Stickers and Decals

Quality vinyl stickers from favorite brands, riding spots, or inside jokes make great stuffers. Check out options from Goats Trail – we’ve got plenty to choose from, including some of the top brands and makers.

Keychains and Zipper Pulls

Functional keychains like the Nite Ize S-Biner or specialty zipper pulls for jackets and gear bags combine utility with style.

Branded Accessories

Small branded items like can koozies, bottle openers, or licensed plate holders with favorite manufacturer logos always get used.

Snowmobile-Specific Stuffers

While all of the above would work for nearly any extreme sports aficionado, here are a few more ideas for sled enthusiasts:

• Snowmobile-specific keychains and accessories

• Anti-fog treatments for helmets and goggles

• Heated goggle batteries

• Reflective safety bands

• Avalanche safety whistles

• Pocket-sized trail maps

The Perfect Stocking Formula

So, you’ve got a ton of ideas here. But now you need to pick and choose which to buy and fill their stocking. 

It’s all about balance – stick with a couple of useful items, and maybe add a silly one or two. Or, depending on their personality, go all out on practical items or fun trinkets. 

The best stocking stuffers show you pay attention. Notice what they complain about on rides. 

Cold hands? Load up on warmers. Always borrowing zip ties? Give them their own stash. Constantly losing sunglasses? A floating sunglass strap saves the day.

Personal touches matter too. If they have a favorite energy bar flavor, stock up. If they're always talking about a specific trail, find a sticker or patch. These small details show that thought went into the selection.
