Grooming Gifts for Guys
Every girl I know has a difficult time buying a gift for the men in her life. This season, I’m making it a little easier by breaking down some fabulous grooming gifts that your guys may enjoy year-round.
Despite the fact that countless beauty products come through my door every year, my significant other could not care less about them. After years of pleading, I’ve finally broken him down and finally got him to use a daily moisturizer. What made him change his mind? It’sYSL’s Healthy Look Moisturizer, made for men. This man-friendly bottle pumps out the perfect amount of moisturizer, which is slightly scented, sinks in quickly and light in texture (so he won’t complain about any oiliness, etc.). Get him the matching deordorant stick and shower gel for the perfect skincare gift.
However, if your man has never even seen a men’s beauty product, then gift him with this starter kit from Every Man Jack. The Beginner’s Luck Kit comes with a bath and body set, including shave gel, shower gel, face scrub, moisturizer, three body bars and even a case for when he needs to travel. Ringing in at $25 at Target, your wallet won’t be suffering…and is affordable enough where your guy might actually start buying the products regularly.
For the hair-obsessed men (there’s always someone you know, right?), we adore the Strength & Style Gift Set by Redken. It includes Redken For Men Go Clean Shampoo and Redken For Men Grip Tight Holding Gel – both of which smell fantastic. They also happen to be extremely efficient!
For the man who leads a jet-set lifestyle, we recommend Jack Black’s On-The-Road Travel Pack to help him get refreshed and keep his skin looking amazing while he’s away from home. This kit contains six of Jack Black’s bestselling products – from an all-over wash to moisturizer with SPF. Jack Black is almost an instant hit with men; almost every man that i know that has tried it, ends up loving products from the line.
Lastly, if you’d like your guy to…well, smell a bit better, fragrance is obviously the way to go. Here are two that recently debuted that all of us at TDO think are good choices: POLO Modern Reserve and Patrick Dempsey Unscripted for Avon. Modern Reserve is crisp, rugged and earthy – perfect for a man who enjoys the outdoors. Unscripted is clean and citrusy to start, but unveils a spicier undertone. It’s sexy, yet sophisticated. We love both!

Another great men’s kit is the Aveda Men’s Pure-Formance “grooming tradition” kit. It comes with the Aveda Men Pure-Formance shampoo (smells terrific!), the grooming clay and a fabulous styling brush.
Got this for my fiance and despite claiming he “doesn’t need” fancy or expensive styling products he LOVES it!
Cherie – Thanks for the tip!
Steve – Actually, the YSL moisturizer has a really manly scent and unlike many other moisturizers, this one is so lightweight – it’s almost like it’s whipped and feels weightless during application. I think a lot of guys can appreciate that!
I think a man would look for unscented and oil free moisturiser 9 times out of 10.
