Men love a quality grooming gift, provided it’s not of the novelty variety
While beauty departments are stuffed, capon-like, with too many great present ideas, men are frequently sold short with faux vintage razor and bowl sets, or grooming products corralled incongruously into a mug. But in my experience men love a quality grooming gift, provided it’s not of the novelty variety (step away from the hilarious moustache care kits).
Clarins Men and Clinique For Men are reliable hits (the latter has a great-value sonic-cleansing gadget and three-step product set for £79 this year). But if you’ve been there, done that, do consider CO Bigelow, a solid, good-quality and traditionally packaged apothecary brand from New York. There are no duds, but Cold And Flu Soak (£22) and Chapped Hands CleanserSoap Free(£16) are unusual and suitably special-looking.
