Skincare gifts
Malin + Goetz Essentials Kit
We firmly maintain that no man ‘doesn’t do’ grooming, he simply hasn’t been introduced to the right products yet – which is where Malin + Goetz comes in. Its range of hair and skin treatments are approachable while delivering visible results (and looking great on your bathroom shelf). Ease him in with the Essentials kit, featuring six trial-size versions of Malin + Goetz’s most popular skincare products: the grapefruit face cleanser, vitamin E moisturiser, bergamot body wash, peppermint shampoo and cilantro conditioner. We guarantee he’ll be investing in the rest of the range in no time.
Haircare gifts
Sisley Hair Youth Revealer gift set
Buying for a man who sadly hasn’t been blessed with abundance in the hair department? Designed specifically for the needs of fine and thin hair, Sisley’s Hair Youth Revealer set features a trio of products that will leave them with thicker, stronger and more youthful-looking locks. Begin by applying the Regenerating Hair Care mask before cleansing with the Fortifying Densifying shampoo and applying the Revitalising Fortifying Serum to energise the scalp, increase hair density and restore the strength and thickness of hair fibres.
Body & Wellness gifts
Aesop Bathroom Abundance set
If they’re still settling for Radox shower gel and Head & Shoulders three-in-one shampoo, it’s time for a serious showertime education. Luxe vegan skin and bodycare expert Aesop offers the perfect introduction to the world of high-end bath and body with its Bathroom Abundance gift set. Featuring the brand’s lauded Resurrection Aromatique hand wash, Olous Aromatique room spray, Olous Aromatique room spray, and beloved Post-Poo Drops, it’s guaranteed to elevate his everyday.
Shaving & Grooming Accessories
Czech & Speake Air-Safe Manciure set
It is our humble opinion that no well-groomed man should be without a Czech & Speake manicure set. Yes, it’s pricey – but just look at it. It oozes old-world glamour, boasts award-winning German design and speaks to a man so refined and sophisticated that even his nails get the VIP treatment. Gift it once and reap the aesthetic benefits of a lifetime of manicures.
