With the past year seemingly flying by, Christmas is approaching at a rapid pace. Shopping for men can be a minefield, with gifts veering on the edge of indifference or approaching tackiness. This year, skip the themed socks and garish underwear and opt for one of our foolproof Christmas gifts for men. Whether you’re shopping for a dad, brother, boyfriend, husband, friend, or co-worker, there’s something here for every guy in your life. From skincare sets and beard products to luxurious fragrances and elevated timepieces, you’ll find the ideal gift for your guy in our Albert Review Christmas Gift Guide for him.
Grooming gods
Give the gift of good skin this festive season. Whether your man already has a solid skincare routine down pat and is looking for a little extra boost or still needs help with the basics, there’s a skincare set for him. To nail a streamlined skincare routine, try a simple men’s skincare set from The Ordinary or Kiehl’s. Meanwhile skincare savvy guys will appreciate a brightening boost from Alpha-H. For dads, brothers, and mates, you can’t go wrong with a good hand or body care product. Botanically minded blokes will dig offerings from Aesop, Grown Alchemist, or Koala Eco, while hard to impress gents will be sated by something from heritage apothecary brand Buly 1803.
Hairy business
Whether he’s rocking a full beard or prefers to be clean-shaven, we’ve something for him. Hirsute guys will appreciate The Groomed Man Co.’s cola scented beard care products, while those opting to ditch the facial hair may enjoy the elevated scents of Davines Pasta & Love Shaving Gel. Plus, the best shampoos, conditioners, and maintenance products for the hair on his head.
Scentsible decision
If there’s one universal quality all men should adopt in pursuit of attractiveness, it’s to smell good. While scent is an inherently personal sense, there are some pretty solid fragrances that smell amazing on just about anyone. Think anything by Creed or Gucci’s Memorie d’une Odeaur, which was literally developed with everyone in mind.
Wellness warriors
For the guys that recognise that what’s on the inside matters too. You can’t go wrong with ingestible wellness supplements from WelleCo, The Beauty Chef, and Vida Glow, or dedicated performance nutrients from Pillar Performance. Meanwhile, Marvis, Gem and ROCC Naturals transform dental hygiene from a chore into a daily ritual.
Made for walkin’
Whether he’s hitting the trails or journeying through the concrete jungle, these kicks will have him looking slick.
