8 Best Grooming Gifts For Men 2020 | The Sun UK

MEN’S grooming is big business these days: Superdrug has seen a 14 per cent rise in sales of its own-brand men’s grooming range, while a fifth of British males have bought themselves a grooming treat in the past year, according to Clinique for Men.

So we've rounded up the best grooming gifts from designer and drugstore brands, covering skin, hair and body.

Whether it's the ‘Love Island effect’ or just the result of men wising up to the benefits of a good cleansing and moisturising regimen, once men discover grooming – whether it’s a beard oil to keep their facial hair looking Clooney-esque or a refreshing shower gel and cologne set, there’s no going back.

Grooming gift travel sets are a popular choice that work as great gifts for both men you’re close to – your father, your hubby – and those you don’t know as well but want to get a nice gift for (your child’s teacher, for example).

Australian luxury skin and haircare brand Aesop is a great starting point: they’ve recently launched a variety of travel grooming gift sets: the Departure travel kit (£45) features the brand’s favourite cult buys, like Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash and Rosehip Seed Lip Cream, reimagined in travel-friendly sizes.

A good grooming gift set also encourages the man in your life to try out new products and discover new brands to love: Liberty London’s For Men Who Moisturise Grooming Kit (£75) comes in a stylish Liberty print case with handles, and includes a mix of full and travel-size products from brands like Kiehl’s and Omorovicza.

You don’t need to spend a fortune on a fantastic grooming gift: L'Oréal Men Expert Kick Start Skincare Gift Set is brilliantly reviewed and contains face wash, shave gel and anti-fatigue moisturizer – all for under a tenner.

1. Heath London The Face Set

  • £24 at Heath London – buy here 

Heath London teams powerful, natural ingredients with minimalist, stylish packaging for a range of skincare products that combat the issues every urban man faces, like environmental stressors.

This Face Set contains an exfoliating face wash with black lava and activated charcoal to clear away dead cells and impurities and a moisturiser with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and Soliberene NAT, which helps protect skin from the damaging effects of blue light.

2. Baylis & Harding Fuzzy Duck Men’s Ginger and Lime

  • £11.55 at Amazon – buy here

Beards are now ubiquitous among males, spanning the millennial, hipster and dad groups, so a beard grooming kit won’t go amiss.

This well-priced starter pack contains beard shampoo, beard balm, facial cleanser and a wooden comb to tame any unruliness.

3. Le Labo shaving cream

  • £25 at Selfridges – buy here

There’s shaving cream, and then there’s shaving cream that’s akin to a religious experience.

Le Labo’s paraben-free formulation sits firmly in the latter category and contains toning sage, soothing chamomile and nourishing coconut for your razor to easily glide through.

Smells like bergamot mixed with lavender, violet and tonka bean. Yum.

4. Clinique for Men Daily Age Repair Set

  • £10.80 at Look Fantastic – buy here

This travel set contains Clinique for Men energizing face wash, shaving cream and anti-ageing moisturiser and isn’t just a great travel set but a fantastic way to introduce your guy to one of the best men’s skincare ranges, Clinique.

5. Murdock London Great Bearded Expectations Travel Kit

  • £40 at Murdock London – buy here 

Another must for any furry guys, Murdock London is the go-to brand when it comes to beard maintenance (and everything of theirs smells fantastic). This kit contains travel-sized shampoo and body wash, sea salt spray for the hair, beard moisturiser and black tea cologne and comes in a smart tweed wash bag.

6. Clarins Men Hydration Collection

  • £40 at Amazon – buy here

Another favourite in the men’s grooming category, Clarins’ gift set comes in a handy wash bag and contains a shampoo/body wash, face wash, moisturiser and hand cream.

7. Aesop Departure Gift Set

  • £45 at Aesop – buy here

Aesop’s delicious classics are shrunk down to travel-friendly sizes in the brand’s coveted gift set, which includes everything you need for your next jet-setting adventure.

Enjoy seven hand-luggage friendly essentials like Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash and Hand Balm, Blue Camomile Facial Hydrating Masque, Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol, Rose Hip Seed Lip Cream, Mouthwash and Toothpaste.

8. BeGlow Tia: All in one Sonic Skin Care system

  • £199 at Look Fantastic – buy here 

They say the best gifts are the ones that people want but will hesitate to buy for themselves, and the BeGlow TIA is precisely that: it cleanses, lifts and tones the skin, with a titanium applicator to help smooth over any wrinkle-prone areas and minimise pores and a ‘lifting’ mode to stimulate sagging skin.

Guys will like that it does a whole skincare regime and then some in one handy device – gadget alert! – with minimal effort on their part and maximum results. That – and the fact it comes in sleek black.
