The 38 Best Grooming Gifts for Men, According to Grooming Editors

Nov 03, 2024

From the latest tech to timeless essentials, these are the best to impress.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON is officially here. Of course, buying a gift for any man can often prove challenging (read: stressful) because it’s tough to find that sweet spot between getting him something he’ll actually use but also something he hasn’t already bought for himself. That’s why looking toward grooming gifts is always a great game plan, as tending to these needs is a never-ending journey. There will always be regular blades, cleansers, and creams to replace. But if you want to really make an impression, introduce him to new alternatives or grooming products he wasn’t even aware he needed.

If he’s devoted to dull, disposable blades, give him an equally effective but one trillion times more convenient electric razor. He likes to take care of his skin? There are countless skincare sets that will elevate this routine and take it to the next level. Plus, you can never go wrong with a killer new cologne that will leave him smelling better than ever. Thankfully, we’ve spent the last year reviewing the best options in each of these categories (and much more) so you can be assured you’re gifting the absolute top version to any man in your life. Take the stress out of your holiday shopping and look to these 38 best grooming gifts for men.

If you travel at all, a solid dopp kit or toiletry bag to hold and organize your grooming essentials is absolutely, err, essential. We've tested countless dopp kits and this is absolutely one of the best available, and without a doubt the most durable.

A man can’t stay groomed with a razor alone, so help him achieve his optimal groomed state head to toe. This packed hit contains a manscaping clipper specifically designed for neck-down grooming, a top-of-the-line nose hair trimmer, full-sized body products to keep his freshly ‘scaped bod fresh and protected and even shaving pads to make cleanup a breeze.

The Philips Norelco OneBlade is by far the most innovative electric razor we've tested. We will always love the ease of the OneBlade razor and this new version is no exception. It’s specifically designed for new shavers who may not have as much facial hair and need extra-gentle skin protection to prevent dreaded razor burn. But hey, it’s also great for anyone with sensitive skin who is prone to ingrown hairs and rashes.

You can never go wrong with a holiday candle, but honestly, who wants a candle that they can only burn one month out of the year? This one has that woody, smokey crackling fire vibe that’s perfectly seasonal, but it’s also completely appropriate once the holidays have passed. It’s like an instant fireplace without the need to chop wood.

Tailor-made for any guy who is curious about anti-aging (aka all guys), this set contains everything he needs to start. We especially love the eye gel, which helps relieve puffiness and dark circles in a flash, and the SPF moisturizer which makes wearing daily sunscreen a no-brainer.

Beards come and beards go, which is why we endorse this beard kit because it also comes with shaving gel for when he wants to change it up (or just make sure his neck and cheek lines are crisp AF). Everything else he needs is there too, like a beard wash and great-smelling beard oil.

This shower head will upgrade your bathroom and your grooming routine in one fell swoop. The built-in filter immediately takes out chlorine, metals, and other yucky stuff from your water helping your skin and hair stay more hydrated.

If he’s an electric razor guy, give him the best possible razor to shave down his morning routine. This new shaver has all the bells and whistles a guy could want (including a self-cleaning Smart Care holder) and then some—like sonic technology that helps him shave faster and AccuSense technology that automatically adjusts to his beard’s thickness allowing him to have up to seven days of growth easier than ever.

We have not been shy about how much we love Dr. Squatch's soaps. These natural soaps not only avoid using any harsh chemicals that damage skin, but they smell incredible. With uber-masculine scents like Wood Barrel Bourbon and Birchwood Breeze, they’re perfect for any man who appreciates scents as much as the need to exfoliate.

Gifting a body hair trimmer might seem a little crazy—you don’t want them to think you’re hinting at something, you know? But if you know your guy trims his body hair, or you know him well enough to assume he does, this one is the gold standard in groomers. The V-shaped blades allow for a close shave even on highly, um, sensitive areas and the ergonomic handle design makes getting hard-to-reach places a breeze. The guard dial is the real key, though, since it allows you to change lengths without switching out attachments.

Most men have their signature fragrance that they go back to most days, so it can feel like there’s little reason to get them an alternative. But instead of just helping them restock their go-to, introduce them to one of our seasonal favorite scents this year. They’ll be able to justify the change for the short time period and it might even help open them up to more scented possibilities throughout the year. Not to mention, this cologne is a bargain at barely $50. After taking a whiff, he'll think you spent closer to triple digits.

Anyone who takes their dental hygiene seriously needs to transition to an electric toothbrush. In general, these tools clean more thoroughly, remove more plaque and even help resist that all-to-common urge to brush too hard, which can destroy ever-precious enamel. Of all the electric toothbrushes we've tried, Moon's is by far one of our favorites. It's super user-friendly and cleans better than a trip to the dentist.

Go big or go home, right? We love Huron body wash because of the fresh, clean scent and the conditioning lather that leaves your skin with a super clean feeling yet still soft and not tight. This jumbo, 32-ounce bottle will last him months and who can say no to the gift of clean skin and fewer trips to the store?

You can't go wrong with a few essentials from one of the most reliable men's grooming brands around. The Baxter of California's deodorant in this set is aluminum-free and alcohol-free, meaning it won't stain clothes or aggravate sensitive skin. Plus, the brand's exfoliating bar soap, with its cedarwood and oakmoss scent, is one of the most masculine-smelling soaps we've tested. Plus, the brand throws in a pair of socks for an added holiday classic.

Tushy has become the go-to brand for consumer bidets over the past few years, and for good reason. The brand's bidets are incredibly user-friendly and easy to install so you can avoid any feared plumbing complications. Still, Tushy continues to perfect its bidet and add exciting new variations like the Oasis, which is entirely non-electric while offering warm water options. Perfect for the man who takes his head-to-toe hygiene and sanitation seriously.

Manscaped continues to take male body grooming to the next level, and for frequent flyers, this travel kit could be a lifesaver they’ll be thanking you for for years. It includes a fingernail clipper, toenail clipper, nail file, slant tip tweezer and grooming scissors, or as I call them, every item you’re most likely to forget to pack when traveling. Every item here is stainless steel so you know it’ll last countless trips. Plus, it all comes in a sturdy yet compact water-resistant case for additional protection and organizing.

Any guy who has tattoos knows the importance of aftercare, but he still might not be as attentive at caring for his tattoos after they heal. Of all the tattoo aftercare products we’ve tested, Papatu’s balm was the best not only at making our inked skin look fresh but feel it too. This set included the balm in two variations, both of which will help recently tatted skin heal and keep it looking vibrant long after.

The Panasonic Arc5 is one of our favorite electric razors on the market today. So how do you improve upon an already incredible and effective design? Make a handheld version, of course. Packing a 13,000 CPM motor (only 1,000 less than the standard Arc5), this nifty device is powerful enough to handle whatever vacation scruff or necessary touchups arise. Not to mention, with 50 total minutes of battery life, it can last a full vacation from just one charge.

Regular exercise does so much good for our bodies, helping us regulate weight, build muscle, get better sleep, be more flexible and simply feel better overall. But of all the great things it does, working out can also wreak havoc on skin if not handled properly. This kit will set up any fitness junkie with the best skin they've had since they started working out.

He might file this under “things he’d never buy for himself,” but trust us, these exfoliating foot masks are amazing. He'll slip his feet into the plastic socks full of exfoliating liquid and in about a week, his feet will shed dead skin like a snake, revealing crazy-smooth feet where dry hooves used to be. Once he uses them once, he’ll want to use them again and again.
