12 Grooming Gift Sets That Guys Will Actually Want This Holiday Season
Whether it's your dad, brother, friend, or S.O., shopping for guys can either be really easy... or really hard. If you ask what he wants to see under the tree (or menorah or Festivus pole), he'll probably tell you he doesn't want anything or that he already has everything he needs. Well, in the spirit of giving, 'tis the season to treat the most important man in your life to a little self-care — a step up from the default dad present of a Home Depot trip IOU card.
Short of convincing the man in your life to spend an entire Sunday in a spa (which really isn't even possible this year anyway), the next-best present would be to upgrade his grooming routine as we enter 2021. Whether he maintains his beard better than Jon Snow or doesn't know the difference between shampoo and body wash, there's an ultra-giftable holiday kit with his name on it.
Ahead, eleven grooming gift sets to shop this holiday season.
