For the man who loves a bit of pampering – or deserves more self-care time – grooming gifts are just the ticket for Christmas.
Whether it’s your dad, big bro, partner or pal, show them you care by treating them to a scented selection this festive season…
1. The Body Shop Pamper & Purify Himalayan Charcoal Skincare Gift, £25 (€29.28)
Ideal for the guy who takes pride in his complexion, this vegan-friendly set contains a Himalayan charcoal infused face wash and mask along with a Konjac sponge – a Korean beauty staple that gently exfoliates the skin.
2. L’Occitane Cade Shaving Duo, £35
Housed in a festively-decorated gift box, this great-value duo (worth £42) of shaving gel and after-shave balm is enriched with juniper essential oil, which calms skin and provides a fresh, woody aroma.
