Stocking for my hubbie?

Please help! I'm stuck. Need ideas to fill my 26 yr old hubbies's Christmas stocking!

So far I have:
Razor blades ( things he needs, trying to be MS style :money: )
Furry handcuffs ;)
Lush gift set
Chocolate coins

Going to get a lotto ticket or Christmas scratch card too.

But that's it. And it's a big stocking!

Any ideas very welcome. Thank you!:D

    Does he play golf ? You could put some tees in. What about a magazine or book ? Try somewhere like Aldi, I got some great multi-tool gifts, you know the type of thing, penknife, scissors, screwdriver etc. all in one.

    Aldi currently have a skiing promotion (or they did last week) and have thermal hats and gloves.

    Also, if he likes a drink, what about a small bottle of spirits, or can of beer.

    ooh some good ideas here I might nick the car and plane idea for my hubby!

    Some more ideas I've used before / will be using this year:

    Chocolates of any description (this year it is jack daniels choccies and good old thorntons)
    Undies / Socks (tradition in our house always get socks and undies in stockings!)
    Keyring
    Tangerine (well it is a christmas stocking!)
    Little desk puzzles
    Small paperback books
    Pocket diary
    Oooh just thought of one I got yesterday - armband holder for an MP3 player ...Tescos £2.46 (the iPod ones are about 20 quid!!)
    Our local pound shop has loads of boysy stuff like skipping ropes (boysy adult ones not kids), wrist/ankle weights / drinks bottles etc if he's into keep fit. Or they had loads of fishing gear if he's into fishing.
    Bottle opener
    Aftershave / deodorant / shampoo / etc.

    my OH is getting shower gel, shaving, foam, razor blades, face wash, his fave sweets, beer, a book, some cheap DVDs, a tshirt, deodorant amongst other things.

    i think its a case of trying to strike a balance between fun and practical, without letting your spending get out of hand!
