Stocking fillers for 40 YO male

DH and I do stockings for each other. It's ridiculous, I know (he started it!). And personally I would rather stop, but I know he's doing one again for me this year, so I feel like I have to do one for him. Bah humbug!

Sooooo, can I please have some ideas for some stocking fillers that don't cost the earth and more importantly, will actually be used?? I've got him a few bits (socks, toiletries, chocolate, sweets) but am stumped for what else to get and any ideas would be most, most welcome!

Poundshop, they have bits and bobs that are actually funny and useable, like a mug that says I Cost a £1.
Add some humour without spending to much.

No tat!

Chutney / beer / pickled onions / pork scratchings / a book / nuts / coffee / 'nice' teabags

That's pretty much what my dp gets every year!

Mind you, I don't get anything for DW either.
