Christmas Gift Ideas for Him

Writer and expert1 year ago

For most of us, a Christmas gift for him (that isn’t socks) won’t be the easiest one to tick off the list. But good news – that’s where we come in. This year, we’ve made it nice and easy by rounding up lots of our lovely, affordable gifts for men. (Psst! You can even have your order gift-wrapped by our allbeauty elves – just add it on at checkout).

Best fragrance gift sets for men

Finding one fragrance to suit most people should be impossible – but not with Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme. Warm and woody with fresh yuzu notes and a base of sandalwood, this scent feels timelessly masculine. If you don’t know much about fragrance and you’re on the hunt for a quality one, look no further.

For Ralph Lauren lovers, this Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Gift Set is a winner. Their Eau de Toilette spray and Shower Gel are infused with their best-selling aquatic fragrance – think juicy melon, sage and basil verbena.

When it comes to presents for men, Hugo Boss usually gets a mention somewhere (and with good reason). This Hugo Boss Bottled For Him Gift Set includes their Eau de Toilette and Deodorant Spray – scented with fresh and fruity top notes and masculine base notes of sandalwood, cedar and vetiver.

Best skincare gifts for men

For the gym-goer, the man who travels or guys who groom, skincare makes a great gift. Team them with a washbag and you’ll be firmly in the good books. This Acqua di Parma Barbiere Refreshing Face Wash is a lovely little luxury, and comes in gift-worthy packaging too.

If their skincare routine could do with an extra step, this Gentlemen’s Tonic Face & Beard Exfoliating Facial Scrub is from the multi-award winning brand based in Mayfair – and works to deep cleanse and brighten the complexion.

To get them glowing, this Perricone MD Vitamin C Brightening & Exfoliating Peel is an easy-to-use, daily serum that will visibly brighten, tighten and reduce dark spots. It’s a great one for guys that are getting more into skincare.

Best grooming gifts for men

For those who love to stay well groomed, we have a world of products to explore. First up, this Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Natural Deodorant Spray is a powerfully fresh scent (think minty lavender, warm sandalwood and a touch of vanilla) and a lovely luxury they might not buy for themselves.

If their shaving routine could do with an upgrade, this Braun Series Shaver Series 6 is up there with the best of the best. It can be used for a wet or dry shave and comes with SensoFoil blades that are specially designed for close contact and skin comfort – plus, a handy travel case.

The final touch? A splash of aftershave balm. This Hermes Terre d’Hemes Aftershave Balm is a multi-layered scent combining woody notes of atlas cedar with fresh grapefruit, orange, pepper, patchouli and more.

Best bath & body gifts for men

When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to gift something that’ll encourage them to take some relaxing 'me time'. And we’ve got just the things for it. This Made By Coopers Calm Room Spray is made with a relaxing blend of five essential oils and can be spritzed across a room or on a pillow to calm, soothe and reduce stress.

For gym goers, pair it with their Made By Coopers Eucalyptus & Rosemary Bath Salts for an ultra-soothing soak. Packed with three blends of salt (Epsom, Himalayan and Dead Sea) and essential oils, it naturally relieves muscular aches and pains.

Treat him to a scented shower experience with Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Shower Gel. This elegant, woody fragrance releases throughout the day to keep him smelling (and feeling) effortlessly fresh.
