For too long, men have been told that it’s not manly to care for your grooming needs. I’m here to tell you they’re wrong. The burst of men’s companies hitting the market to create and fill the grooming void has been overwhelming over the past couple of years, which means there are more options than ever when it comes to taking care of yourself. That’s why I wanted to take the time to put together a list of the 15 best men’s grooming gifts so you can treat yourself or someone you care about to the gift of self-care.

It’s not just going out for a nice haircut or a pedicure when it comes to male grooming. I’m talking about changing the game; I’m talking about focusing on the whole body. Hair. Beard. Body wash. Pubes. Yes, even your nether-regions deserve a little grooming love too.

But with so many options, it’s easy to fall into the trap of not knowing which companies and brands are the best. Our list of the 15 best men’s grooming gifts delves deep and has chosen some of our favorite shampoos, conditioners, face masks, and more. And all of these have been designed and created with men in mind, which means you can experience a tailored experience for your daily self-care routine.

1. Woody’s Daily Shampoo

Let’s start our list of the best men’s grooming gifts at the top of the head with a good shampoo. I recommend Woody’s Daily Shampoo, a simple no-frills shampoo that can be used every day (although some folks have suggested an every-other-day schedule to make sure you don’t damage your hair). Woody’s Daily Shampoo will make your hair smell like a minty-grapefruit but isn’t strong enough to be distracting. You’re going to want a shampoo that will make your hair feel clean, clean up dandruff, and most importantly, liven it up for post-shower styling. That’s why I recommend Woody’s Daily Shampoo as your go-to shower shampoo.

Our Pick
woodys shampoo

The fresh minty-grapefruit scent invigorates your senses as Woody's Daily Shampoo works hard to soften, and strengthen your hair.

2. Hawkins & Brimble Conditioner

I know what you’re thinking, why do I need shampoo and conditioner when I can just buy them both at once. You love your cuticles, right? Well, a 2-1 shampoo and conditioner will likely damage your hair follicles, which is why we added Hawkins & Brimble Conditioner to the best men’s grooming gifts. Unlike other brands, Hawkins & Brimble utilize coconut oil for smooth and shiny hair. Coconut oil penetrates into the hair fiber, making sure your hair stays healthy and robust for a long time. Never underestimate the importance of high-quality shampoo and conditioner, and with Hawkins & Brimble, you’re treating yourself to a barber-quality wash every time you shower.

Our Pick
hawkins

Using coconut oil to smooth and straighten your hair, Hawkins and Brimble was developed with every type of hair in mind.

3. Uppercut Deluxe Pomade

Every man needs a good pomade in their grooming arsenal, and I suggest giving Uppercut Deluxe Pomade a shot. The only pomade to make our best men’s grooming gifts list, Uppercut Deluxe Pomade is strong enough for men who love more difficult, classic hairstyles. We’re talking Dudes with slick backs, high pompadours, and side-parts. The best part about Uppercut Deluxe Pomade is that it stays strong all day long, but it doesn’t make your hair look overly stiff. Because it’s water-soluble, this pomade easily washes out in the shower.

Our Pick
uppercut deluxe

Uppercut Deluxe Pomade is perfect for Dudes with classically difficult to manage hairstyles: side-parts, high pompadours, and slick backs because it was designed to last all-day without that stiff look.

4. American Crew Styling Cream

I love American Crew Styling Cream. This product is one I’ve used for over half a decade by this point, and believe me when I tell you that once you start using American Crew, it’ll be challenging to go back to any other hair gel. If you’re like me and pomades aren’t quite your style, then this matte styling cream is the answer. One of the best men’s grooming gifts, but one of the best hair products in general, American Crew has been formulated with Panthenol, which strengthens and increases your hair’s health.

Our Pick
american crew

Never worry about stray hairs cramping your style. American Crew Styling Cream is one of the best hair-styling tools you can have in your tool belt because it keeps a great hold without all the shine.

5. Kiehl’s Energizing Facial Fuel

One of two face scrubs to make our best men’s grooming gifts list, Kiehl’s Energizing Facial Fuel is efficient, refreshing, and comforting, perfect for men with sensitive or coarse skin. Made from apricot kernels, Kiehl’s Energizing Facial Fuel is just that: fuel that pushes out dead skin, dirt, and oil. Our skin can sometimes be challenging to tame. Still, this facial scrub does the job of making your face feel cleaner, healthier, and softer after just a couple of uses.

Our Pick
kiehls-men-face-scrub-facial-fuel-energizing-scrub-150ml-000-3605971429347-front

Get ready to rid yourself of the dirt and grime on your skin with Kiehl's Energizing Facial Fuel. Apricot kernels, caffeine, and Vitamin E come together for an energizing facial scrub that's easy to use, and soft on sensitive skin.

6. Rugged and Dapper Face Wash

The other face wash I wanted to put on the list of the best men’s grooming gifts is Rugged and Dapper Face Wash. This daily power scrub nourishes rid of dirt and grime. Still, it is gentle enough that you can use it every day without having to worry about damaging your skin from overuse. Made from natural ingredients, Rugged and Dapper was developed with the modern man in mind meaning they understand the importance of healthy skin and washing your face at least once a day. Rugged and Dapper Face Wash is the perfect 30-second wash tool to fit into any grooming routine.

Our Pick
rugged and dapper

Rugged and Dapper Face Wash is strong enough to clean your face while gentle enough to be used all day. Made from natural ingredients, fuel up your skincare game with this face wash.

7. Beau Brummel Charcoal Face Mask

Women have been bragging about face masks forever; now it’s our turn to give them a shot. Enter the Beau Brummel Charcoal Face Mask, designed specifically with men’s skin in mind. Try one of these face masks and prepare to feel cleaner, more confident, and ready to take on the world. Seriously, Beau Brummel has raised the bar when it comes to men’s skin-care routines. Use it weekly, and you can avoid those pesky wrinkles and watch how it removes excess dirt and oil from your skin. One of the best men’s grooming gifts you can give to yourself is a relaxing evening at home, binge-watching the Fast and the Furious series, with a Beau Brummel Charcoal Face Mask. Try it and watch the difference.

Make sure you check out our review of the Beau Brummel Face Mask as well for more information.

Our Pick

Have you ever wanted to try a face mask? Then give Beau Brummel's Charcoal Face Mask a shot. Designed for men, this face mask knows how to treat difficult skin (especially in that pesky T-Zone).

8. Every Man Jack Beard Butter

You might be asking yourself, what’s the difference between beard oil and beard butter? Beard butter is a beard styling product, which means if you want to shape and texture, go with the butter over the oil. For the best men’s grooming gifts list, Dudefluencer suggests trying Every Man Jack Beard Butter. This beard butter rejuvenates and styles beards that are too unruly to be kept by traditional means. Add in the hint of vanilla fragrance, and you have one of the best all-around beard products available. My philosophy is to give beard butter and beard oil a shot, decide which one works better, and go from there. And if you’re picking up your first beard butter, then you can’t go wrong with Every Man Jack Beard Butter.

Our Pick
every man jack

Every Man Jack is the solution for those Dudes who are looking to soften their beard while having the ability to groom and style it at the same time.

9. Honest Amish Beard Oil

If you haven’t checked out our article about the best beard oils for 2021 yet, I recommend checking that out when you’re done. Over there, we reviewed 16 different beard oils, each with their own strengths, and came away loving Honest Amish Beard Oil. Made from the highest quality (and most unique) ingredients, Honest Amish makes sure to keep your beard soft, and more importantly, the skin underneath moisturized. Add in the vanilla-cedar scent. Honest Amish Beard Oil is a great grooming gift idea.

Our Pick
Honest Amish Beard Oil

Honest Amish guarantees that no other beard company uses the same high-quality ingrediants which means every time you slob on some of their beard oil, your facial hair (and skin underneath) is getting a one-of-a-kind barber shop treatment.

10. Bevel Beard Trimmer

The best luxury beard trimmer on our list of the best beard trimmers for 2021 goes to the Bevel Trimmer. Don’t let its sleek design fool you. This beard trimmer is built to last for a long time, no matter how tough your beard thinks it is. Featuring an antimicrobial coating on the trimmer blades, you won’t have to worry about heavy-duty cleaning or taking it apart. While the price is high, understand that you’re treating yourself to one of the highest quality beard trimmers on the market. There’s a reason why the best barbers in the world rely on the Bevel Trimmer to keep Dudes looking fresh and clean all year round.

11. Gillette Heated Razor Kit

Maybe you don’t have a beard, or you like to keep a close shave. That’s fine too because our best men’s grooming gifts list presents to you the Gillette Heated Razor Kit. Have you ever gotten a warm shave from your barber? Now you can do it from the comfort of your own bathroom with this heated razor. Four heat sensors distribute the heat evenly across so your skin will feel a warm, soothing sensation across your skin as you shave. Simply put, you can get the best of a warm towel shave every single time you shave.

Our Pick
Gillette Heated Razor

The Gillette Heated Razor Starter Kit gives you everything you need for a traditional warm shave with just a single razor.

12. Art of Shaving Lavender Shaving Cream

One of the earliest self-care purchases I splurged on came from the Art of Shaving: a waterproof body razor and a container of their lavender shaving cream. Needless to say, I was immediately hooked as the shaving cream blew the store-bought stuff away. Unlike gels and other shaving creams, the Art of Shaving Lavender Shaving Cream lathers on smoothly while also hydrating and softening your beard hair. Add in a touch of lavender scent, and you’ve got one heck of a shaving experience ahead of you. They also have a fragrance free model just as good, but without all the fresh scent attached.

Our Pick
Art of shaving

The Art of Shaving Lavender Shaving Cream lathers, moisturizes, and protects the skin from irritation all while providing you with a soft, smooth shave.

13. Dr. Squatch Grapefruit IPA Bar Soap

I’ve seen many companies advertise adding beer into their products. Still, it wasn’t until I came across Dr. Squatch Grapefruit IPA Bar Soap that I became a believer in the process. No harsh chemicals, this citrus, and hops smelling bar soap keeps your skin safe and nourished throughout its use. One of the secret benefits of this bar soap is that it can leave a lingering citrus scent in the bathroom. Ditch traditional bar soaps and go with the best men’s grooming gift option, Dr. Squatch Grapefruit IPA.

Our Pick
Grapefruit_IPA_1_1024x1024

Available in 11 different scents, Dr. Squatch Bar Soap is the refreshing, natural solution to your bar soap woes.

14. Method Men Body Wash

For those Dudes who’d instead use body wash than bar soap, pick up some Method Men Body Wash if you’re ready for a full-body cleanse made from plant-based cleansers. Available in a variety of different fragrances, Method Men Body Wash is another plant-based cleanser designed for folks who don’t want any unnecessary chemicals in their soap. Plus, the entire container is made from recycled packaging. So if you love smelling good, being clean, and helping the environment, then look no further than one of the best men’s grooming gift options this year: Method Men Body Wash.

Our Pick
method men

Method Men Body Wash is the plant-based cleanser your body has been looking for. Lather quickly, rinse clean and it'll leave you smelling fresh.

15. Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0

Once you try the Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0, you’ll forever wonder where it’s been all of your life. Don’t let a little hair down there turn into a wild jungle. Use the Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0 to trim and clean up all of those messy pubic hairs. No shaving cream needed, and the entire trimmer is waterproof, which means you can absolutely use it in the shower. The best part, you don’t have to worry about painful snips and scratches as the Lawn Mower 3.0’s blade is designed for safety first.

Our Pick
