Best men’s grooming gifts for Christmas 2021

The gifting season is fast approaching and to nail the process, the latest men’s grooming sets should be on your radar.

Socialising is back on the agenda and this, combined with a surge in self-care for all genders throughout lockdown, has led to huge growth in the beauty industry. According to Google searches, interest in men’s aftershave and cologne has soared 115 per cent month on month, while men’s grooming and skincare is peaking.

Whether they keep their routine simple or it’s constantly evolving with a 12-step regime, brands like Bulldog, Kiehl’s and more have curated gift sets designed specifically for men that are sure to receive a smile come Christmas morning. Encourage them to freshen up ahead of the New Year with an ideal fuss-free skincare regime, offer everything they need for a close shave or opt for all-rounders suited to most hair types - all of which have been perfectly packaged for the festive season.

Frequent flyers or jet-setters will appreciate the roster of go-to essentials in handy travel sizes so they can cleanse, nourish and style on-the-go.

See below for our selection of Christmas gift-ready grooming sets designed to give them healthier-looking skin or keep their hair (facial or otherwise) in tip-top shape.
