DH stocking ideas

I'm stuck thinking of ideas for DH stocking! We do a limit of £25. I've previously bought him novelty bits before but they just feel like a waste and don't get used. I'll get him some sweets and coffee he likes.
He is quite outdoorsy but seems to have everything he needs for that.

Other interests are:
Cricket
Our cat and dog
Gadgets/tech things
Nintendo switch
Lego

Thank you for any ideas!!

I also avoid novelty bits, so mines getting

Lego minifigure - who doesn't love a mystery bag
Book
Xmas scratchcard
Treasure trails treasure hunt for a local town
Choc orange
Socks
A mirror for the baby carrier so he can see the little one when he's out alone

Previously I've got him a lead hook for the dogs lead with its name on, and a tree decoration shaped like the dog if either are any use?

You can get custom made Lego figures to look like yourself, but I don't know if you've got enough time to order one now. I got them for a friend and her family one year, huge hit.

DH has a box of maltesers, a book, pair of socks! And a new hat, his is getting old and threadbare. DS will get something cute from a shop like Tiger or somewhere.

a book
a CD (he still prefers CDs to streaming)
Molton Brown bath stuff

some goo to clean computer keyboards
novelty item: tiny LED dog figure that you can attach to books to read by
some italian sweets - panforte and cantucci

There's a few funny 'dog/cat psychology' books in the shops. This sort of thing.

Also the spoof Haynes manuals. But I did have to break it to DP gently that because I'd bought him a Haynes manual for a Spitfire one year, it did not mean I'd also bought him the aeroplane Grin

This year so far I've got DP some fudge and a few DVDs from Music Magpie. Because just as everyone else has decided that they are worthless and unnecessary, he's said that he'd like to own some DVDs.

So I've spent a tenner on half a dozen of the type of films he's seen a hundred times but will always watch if he finds it on TV. If only I could remember the name of the film that is really long and he always finds at 9.30 pm the evening before an early start for work so he can't stay up to watch because it won't end until gone midnight.

It could be The Green Mile or Apocalypse now, but I'm not sure and I'm hoping it will come to me before Christmas.
