Need Ideas to Fill Christmas Stockings

I have to make Christmas stockings for the men in my life. They are 15, 18, 21, 24, 54, and 82.  I will also make one for my son's girlfriend who is 24 (she is always watching her weight, so she does not like candy and she does not wear cosmetics) Their stockings are a bit large, so size is usually not much of a problem.

Can you give me some ideas of things to put in their stockings?

Thanks so much!

duct tape and string, what man can't use these?
For the girl- maybe some trial size shampoos, conditioners, a set of razors, a new dish towel if she has her own place. Does she drink coffee? If so, maybe some small bags of coffee? You could also get a box of something like slimfast bars, IF you think she'd like them AND won't take offense. You mentioned she's trying to lose weight, but some people take offense when it's brought up, so you just never know.
Low amount gift cards to gas stations or fast food places for a snack or gas.
A gift card for however much it is to go to the local movie theater to see a movie
Or, buy a cheap movie at Walmart in the $5 bin, and add in some bags of microwave popcorn, and maybe a flavored topping for the popcorn.

iTunes giftcards, best buy if they are in to electronics. If they like to fish maybe lures and stuff like that. movies, CDs are always a choice.

It sounds like you got lots of ideas already, and I'm low on creativity right now:)

Pens, air freshners for the car, Even for the adult I try to put some kind of small toy for the kid that is in all of us. The guys still love getting hot wheel type cars.

It looks like you have some great ideas already. I wish I could be of more help, but anything I might have mentioned, has already been mentioned.
