Christmas is only a couple weeks away and if you’re looking for last minute gift ideas for the guys I’ve rounded up some of Andrew’s grooming favorites and things I am gifting him this year.

So many of you have asked for tips and ideas on how to get the guys in your life to up their grooming game. I highly recommend looking at the gift sets from Jack Black and Kiehl’s. I am so glad Andrew is a well-groomed man and has been since I met him when we were in our 20s!

My number one tip is to buy him a few simple sets with multi-taskers and replace (or rather REMOVE) his bar soap from the shower and put the sets front and center on the counter, near the shower or bath – pretty much right in front of him.

The Jack Black Turbo Wash is the best thing I think you can gift any guy in your life. They can use it on hair and body, so it’s two in one. Andrew uses it to wash his face too. (I actually borrow Andrew’s all the time because it’s the best at removing sunscreen.) Love this Body Best Sellers Set – Andrew picked it up during our travels so he could use them during our trip.

They have tons of body care sets, shaving sets, sets with a little bit of everything. Andrew has tried almost everything from the line. Even the lip balms. He also likes the Deep Dive Glycolic Facial Cleanser (doubles as a mask), Supreme Clean Shaving Cream and moisturizer – all found in the Carry On Essentials Set ($30).

Kiehl’s also has great products for the guys. The Energizing Essentials Kit is a great place to start and they have a bar soap that exfoliates too (it’s not your average bar soap).

For grooming tools I bought Andrew his own cuticle nail care set from Zwilling several years ago and he uses it all the time. I love the look of this one from Zwilling for travel (I just ordered it for him). He’s tried a lot of shaving tools and really loves the Braun Body Groomer. For an electric face shaver he really likes the Braun Electric Series 3 Razor. He also has used and likes the Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0.

I know cologne and fragrance can be very personal but Creed makes some great discovery sets and in my opinion they make the best of the best. They have several different variations like the 3-piece discovery set or 5-piece discovery set. Andrew has a blue refillable atomizer which he really loves and brings with him every trip we go on. I just ordered him a grey one (new color) because he likes to wear a few different scents so now he will have two. His favorite scent is Aventus.

For clothes we’ve been really impressed with Vuori. The quality is great, styles are modern and the fit/cuts are very good and they’re comfortable without looking too casual. What Andrew likes the best about their tops and sweatshirts is they hold their shape really well, even during workouts and with sweat. We were able to see everything in person at the Vuori store in Miami. They have a lot of things on sale on their site right now. He loves the Tradewind Performance Tee. The Strato Tech Tee is super soft (I wish they made it in women’s sizes). He also bought some hoodies and joggers.

A few other fun gift ideas include dopp kits or travel bags from Away. I’ve bought Andrew so many travel cases over the years. He says the best one is the Away Large Toiletry Bag and it’s the one he’s been using on our trips. We’ve had the Everywhere Bag for several years now and we both use ours to this day. They’ve added other sizes and styles to pick from.

We saw some new leather goods at the Creed Boutique in Miami and they are quite the splurge but Andrew fell in love with the small case. I’m ordering it for him for Christmas.

If you’re looking for gift ideas for the guys in your life I hope you found this roundup helpful! I think any of these would suit a wide range of ages and styles.
