Maybe you can also give him a hockey puck. I know, weird but he likes hockey. Or tickets to a hockey game.

Well since its going to be cold i`d get him things that will keep him warm.. You don`t want him cold and sick i`m sure..
I`d get him stuff like this..
..Gloves
..Longsleeve shirts
..Hats
..Blanket
..Maybe put hot chocolate in it so afterwards he can drink it and be warm
..If he`d use bubble bath to take a hot bath after bein out in the cold i`m not sure if he`s that kind of guy
..Googles so snow don`t fly in his eyes

It's nice of you to want to give your guy gifts that have to do with the things that are important to him in his life. Very thoughtful. The gas card is a great idea!

Does he already have a cool keychain for his keys to the snowmobile (or in general)? If not, you could try to find one that has something depicting one of the two sports you mentioned. If you can't find a keychain with anything that you like, then, if you can afford it, buy a nice-sized white metal (often pewter) or silver (cheaper, of course, than gold) charm of either hockey sticks, or a snowmobile, or something along those lines, and attach it yourself to a simple keyring.

Do you like to write? How about writing a poem that addresses him and his love of winter, snow, and winter sports?

Does he have a sense of humor? A cute and "silly," but practical, idea might be to include a sort of First Aid kit for a hockey player...or even a fan of snowmobiles. You probably know the exact kinds of things a hockey player may need if slightly injured - real first aid stuff and maybe some things that would "comfort" him. Of course you don't want to assume that he'll EVER BE injured, but it's almost inevitable that hockey players do get bruised up and sometimes bloodied! It's a hardcore sport! You could write a silly little note (or poem) that you could wrap around the "kit" saying why you thought he might need something like this.

Does he wear a winter hat when he's snowmobiling? What are his favorite colors? Do you think he could use a cool pull-on hat with his favorite colors? Or maybe really neat gloves made just for a person who goes snowmobiling? Surely, if these two sports are popular where you live, there is a sports store that would sell these things. Also, look around that sports store and see if there are any small items that have to do with snowmobiles and/or hockey that would be great stocking stuffers.

Is he old enough to drive a car? If so, maybe you could find a pair of dangling hockey sticks for him to use on his rearview mirror. (Look first in a large auto supply store...or the sporting goods store. If you're in an area where hockey is a big deal, you'll probably find something there or the clerks might be able to tell you where to go to find something like that.) Would he use a bumper sticker? Lots of people don't like putting them on their cars, but if he wouldn't mind, I bet there are some fun bumper stickers out there about either snowmobiling or hockey.

If he doesn't drive, then perhaps he could use what would generally go on a rearview mirror to hang on his computer (you might want to buy a suction-cup hook for this), over a wall-peg, or just on the wall in his room?

Who is his favorite hockey player? Can you find a poster of this guy? Yeah, it would be a little big for a stocking, but rolled up, it could stick out of the stocking and not be a big deal.

Does he do long-distance snowmobiling? If so, can you make up a survival kit (could include a First Aid kit) with a water bottle, survival foods, identification card, a sweet note from you, etc. Again, these things and something to hold them should be found in a sporting goods store. (You'd probably have to really stuff and fold things into the stocking, but I'm sure you can do it!)

OK, I've run out of ideas for the time being. If I think of something else, I'll write again. I'd love to know what you end up putting in this lucky guy's stocking! Good luck.
