Caribbean-Inspired Enamel Pins
Enamel pins are a compact and affordable stocking filler that add character to everyday items. While the designs in my collection are brightly coloured and inspired by the Caribbean, they appeal to men who enjoy bold details, cultural references or distinctive accessories that stand out in a subtle way.
My Caribbean-inspired enamel pins feature motifs such as palm trees, island symbols and typographic designs drawn from Caribbean heritage. They are well suited to men who appreciate small touches that reflect personality or identity.
Not sure how enamel pins can be used? Here are a few simple ideas:
- Add interest to a denim jacket or casual overshirt
- Personalise a backpack, travel bag or weekend holdall
- Attach to a lanyard, camera strap or tech pouch for a practical splash of colour

A taste of the Caribbean with rum
Rum is a classic choice when you are curating Christmas stockings for men, especially if you want to bring a touch of the Caribbean into your gifting. Don't forget to keep in mind that a full size bottle may not fit in all Christmas stocking, so if that is the case you could always use a Christmas sack instead.
Here are a few rums we discovered that will keep in the theme of the Caribbean:
Flat Cap Rum is a family brand with deep roots in Burnt Savannah, Westmoreland, Jamaica, later carried to South London by their father, whose signature flat cap now inspires the name and logo.
The rums are produced using traditional, hand-beaten copper stills, giving the spirit maximum contact with the copper for a clean, high-quality finish.
After distillation, each flavour blend is left to infuse for several days, resulting in a smooth palate and well-balanced character. With options such as Vanilla and Cherry or Mixed Spice, Flat Cap Rum brings a distinctly Jamaican warmth to your gifting.
It is an excellent choice to sit alongside a Christmas stocking for men, adding a meaningful touch of island heritage to Christmas morning.

Padnas (pronounced pad-nuhz) was founded by two best friends with St. Lucian heritage, which is why you will find St. Lucia in their logo and the passion for it in their drinks.
Padnas comes in two unique fresh fruit flavours, both containing over-proof, dark St. Lucian rum and their home-made spiced syrup.
There's the OG, a cool mix of mango, orange, and tropical fruit juices with a squeeze of lemons and limes and Trophy, which contains blended fresh mango with tropical and pineapple juice, with a squeeze of lime.
Adding this to your Christmas stockings for men will certainly add a tropical vibe to it.

IslandSlice Rum brings the flavour of the Caribbean to Scotland from its distillery in Dumbarton, fondly referred to as Rumbarton.
The brand was founded by Sylvester Herman, a fourth-generation rum maker from St Lucia, who continues the craft using techniques passed down through his family.
The range includes the signature White Rum along with Scotch Bonnet Rum, Dark Rum and Spiced Rum. Each bottle reflects a blend of St Lucian heritage and Scottish skill, offering a distinctive take on traditional Caribbean rum making.
It is an excellent gift to pair with a Christmas stocking for men who appreciate quality rum and enjoy exploring spirits with a clear sense of origin and craft.

Tropical Tea Blends
The Christmas season can be full of activity, and many men enjoy carving out a quiet moment to reset. A well-chosen tropical tea blend can be an easy way to upgrade that downtime, whether he prefers music, a good film or simply a calm space at home. Adding a flavourful Caribbean-inspired tea to a Christmas stocking for men brings a touch of warmth and escape to the winter months, and it is a small gift you can add to your Christmas stockings for men that will be enjoyed long after Christmas morning.
If you've attended one of my Raffia Embroidery workshops then you may have tasted the tropical green or hibiscus tea from Shibui Tea. These unique blends make a great Christmas stocking filler.
Shibui Tea also have other gifts you can check out, including:
- A Christmas Collection which also includes a gingerbread flavoured tea

Coffee
If tea isn't his thing, then I'm guessing a well crafted coffee will make him smile when he opens up the Christmas stockings for men that you've perfectly curated.
If you're wanting to stick to the Caribbean theme then we've found these two wonderful brands that could work well.

The Little Coffee Company
For men who enjoy a well-made cup of coffee, this Jamaican blend from The Little Coffee Company is an excellent addition to Christmas stockings for men. Sourced from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, the beans are grown in cool, high-altitude conditions that create a smooth, balanced flavour with no bitterness. The beans are ethically sourced, supporting sustainable farming across Jamaica.
The coffee is packed in reusable tins, designed to be kept and repurposed long after the last scoop. It is a thoughtful way to bring a taste of Jamaica to Christmas morning.

Jablum Coffee
Jablum Gold is one of Jamaica’s most respected coffee offerings, produced in the Blue Mountains where cool air, rich soil and slow bean maturation create a naturally refined flavour. This roasted and ground blend delivers a smooth, well rounded cup with gentle acidity and a clean finish, making it a strong choice for men who appreciate quality coffee without any harsh notes.
For the man who has a sweet-tooth!

And doubles up as a gift that may remind them of the Caribbean.
Nothing quite tastes like Christmas to me than Cinnamon - its included in my recipe for a Caribbean rum cake, which you'll find in lots of Caribbean households at Christmas time and sorrel, which is drank all year around, but you especially see a lot around Christmas time.
If you want to add the taste of Christmas to your Christmas stockings for men, The Shortbread Company's Cinnamon Shortbread may do the trick. They also create grab bags and hampers so you could consider it for a main gift too.

Today, the tradition continues in many households, and Christmas stockings for men have become a thoughtful way to add personal, useful and enjoyable gifts that complement the main presents under the tree.
What are Christmas stockings made of?
Christmas stockings are traditionally made from materials such as wool, felt, knitted yarn, cotton or velvet. Modern versions can also include more contemporary or natural fibres. For example, I create Christmas stockings using raffia, which offers a distinctive texture and a strong, durable structure ideal for holding a wide range of gifts. When choosing Christmas stockings for men, materials with greater strength are often preferred, as they can comfortably hold grooming items, Caribbean-inspired treats, rum miniatures and other practical stocking fillers.
