When it comes to guys, we think they secretly love a bit of pampering just as much as we do. Just ask David Gandy (above). Or just look at him. That’s fine too. Here are our favourite five man-friendly grooming gifts that will keep your man (boyfriend/husband/brother/dad/GBF) happy this Christmas. We’ve got tips from our boys over at ThePerfectMan.me, so they’re pre-approved…
Is it just us or does our essential oil collection look a little empty after his bath? Give him his very own stash with the Aromatherapy Associates Relaxing Bath Box (£35.00). If you’re an Aromatherapy Associates addict like us, you’ll know how luxurious the oils are, and this set comes in a very manly dark green box.
Whether you want the ‘Handsome Prince’ slogan on the Alphabet Bags wash bag to work as a compliment or a hint, the Selfridges Handsome Prince Grooming Box (£35.00) is sure to do the trick. It’s packed full of the 10 best grooming products to transform him this season.
Aesop products always appeal to men. They look clinical, medicinal, they look like they work. The Intensity Gift Set (£67.00) is designed to refresh, there’s a Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave Lotion, a deodorant and a Coriander Seed Body Cleanser. No nonsense, reviving products. If you’ve got a fitness freak on your hands, he’ll adore it.
Now this one’s a real luxury buy. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence for Men (£120.00). It’s SK-II’s hero product in man-friendly packaging. They can officially use it in public. Within 14 days the product promises to restore the balance between moisture and oil, as well as lessening the look of dryness, darkness, wrinkles and ageing skin. Men want to fight that just as much as us! A spritz of this will finish off his bath routine perfectly.
It’s a classic, it’s a winner. Molton Brown Men’s Black Peppercorn scent is one loved by men the world over, so the Black Peppercorn Gift Set (£31.00) is sure to please. It’s Molton Brown’s bestselling blend, and it’ll only take him using it once for you to smell why.
