There’s nothing quite like feeling your stocking on Christmas day and realising that Santa’s been. Stockings are a great precursor to the actual ripping open of the main presents and if you get them right you can end up with a great selection of fun, frivolous and entertaining gifts. Here are 10 stocking fillers that gentlemen really want.

A hilarious loo read that has some ‘I can’t believe that actually exists’ pictures of the worst taxidermy ever.
