For many, Christmas is an exciting time. It's a celebration of family and friendship in which bad jokes, pleasantries and gifts are exchanged. Some people absolutely love the holiday period, taking the opportunity to produce thoughtful gifts for their loved ones and reveling in the delight of reaction after opening.

For others, the act of finding gifts for loved ones can be a bit of a headache and the term 'loved ones' can stretch a bit too far. Mother-in-law gifts, office colleague gifts... sometimes it's hard knowing what to choose.

Another headache can be stocking fillers, especially in the golf space. Say your golf-mad son or daughter wants a new driver for Christmas - great! Now what on earth do you buy them to fill the rest of the stocking? These gifts are supposed to be budget-friendly but also useful. Not many things are worse than a bunch of gifts on Christmas morning that you'll likely never use...

Maybe I've cheated a bit on some of these, as the price points mean they are more like proper presents than stocking fillers, but that being said, everything I've picked below would easily fit into a stocking so that is my rationale somewhat. I can guarantee all golfers will like my selections below, and if you don't believe me, just go for the old trusty and get them a Terry's Chocolate Orange... (Also if you want to shop around for yourself, I have included some links to the best golf sales right now below as well).

We start with a really useful, budget-friendly option that can help you or a loved one dial in their grip ahead of the 2025 season...

Next we have a couple of golf gloves, the first of which will ensure grip consistency, which could be the root of a much-improved 2025 for many golfers...

We'll admit, golf balls can be a bit of a boring present. However, they are as boring as they are useful - there isn't a single golfer (who isn't a pro) that won't need golf balls at some stage in 2025. Buy them some now and they'll be thanking you later!

TaylorMade Tour Response Stripe Golf Balls | 43% off at Amazon
Was $42.99 Now $24.49

And one of our favorite models at the moment is the Tour Response Stripe from TaylorMade. The look may divide opinion, but we found this to be an excellent all-round golf ball that offers performance close to the Tour-level models. The distance was good, as was the greenside spin and control, whilst those seeking help with alignment could definitely see improvements via the Stripe design. I like the 43% discount as well.

Next, a gift for the more casual player who likes a fun hit and giggle with his buddies on the golf course and maybe less suited to the player who plays at a posher, more strict country club...

I've selected two of my favorite putting aids that I've used in 2024 next. One is a unique aid that is as fun as it is infuriating given the difficulty but can really help you with your pace control on short to midrange putts. The second gift is one of the best putting mats we've used this year and adds variation to the typical repetitive straight putt the average player hits on their carpet at home.

PuttOUT Premium Pressure Putt Trainer | $26.99 at Amazon

If you're a fan of fun and rather addictive putting aids, the PuttOUT Pressure Putt aid is the one for you. It helps you practice your pace control, with the aim to gauge your speed perfectly for the ball to remain on the small silver target - if not, the ball will return to your feet. It's as infuriating as it is fun, the type of aid you can spend hours using without even realizing.

My final three entries onto this list are items that could prove very helpful on the golf course, for very different reasons. One can help keep your clubs clean and dry in those tricky wintery conditions, one will keep you warm on those colder days and the final offering can help provide you some sanity when you're in the middle of a bad round - depending what liquid you put in it!

Titleist StaDry Performance Towel | 9% off at Amazon
Was $55 Now $49.95

Titleist is well known for producing some of the best quality golf equipment on the market. You only have to look to some of the best golf bags the brand makes to see this. And the quality on offer is evident in the Titleist StaDry Performance Towel. It features Titleist's patented StaDry material which helps the towel dry quickly when it gets wet. The towel's velour terry exterior helps the towel get into all the gaps in your golf clubs. And if you're really looking to make sure you scrub every last piece of mud off your clubface, it also comes with a groove cleaner and a hub patterned microfiber interior.

Under Armour Halftime Pom Beanie |6% off at Amazon
Was $25.46 Now $23.90

In testing, we found the Under Armour Halftime Pom Beanie to be incredibly comfortable with its super-soft ribbed knit, which offered a good stretch for all shapes and sizes of head. The faux-fur pom adds a playful touch to its classic design, making it a stylish yet functional accessory for winter. That said, the UA brand logo across the beanie might be a bit visually excessive for some, but different strokes for different folks. It is available in several colors and we actually think it is versatile enough for off the course.
