The mulled wine is bubbling, the wood fire is crackling and Love Actually is on repeat. The festive season is in full swing and we’ve rounded up a selection of gifts for everyone on your list in our Christmas Gift Guide series. First up, here are our favourites for the men in your life (and you can steal them too!):
GREAT FOR: The guy who wants to be Don Draper. Imported from Italy, we love the Mad Men-esque retro packaging of these toothpastes. Such a good looking gift and he’s sure to use it too! The Classic Mint formula keeps breath fresh while removing stains and preventing decay.
- DR. BRANDT MICRODERMABRASION SKIN EXFOLIANT
GREAT FOR: The man who doesn’t shop for skincare himself. We’ve convinced head of Birchbox operations Phill to use a daily moisturiser and our head of brands Antony to try this skin exfoliant – he now swears by it! If the man you’re buying for has skin that gets dry and flaky or he’s concerned about ageing, this product is perfect for him. Plus, the monochrome packaging won’t cramp his style.
- MOLTON BROWN BLACK PEPPERCORN BODY WASH
GREAT FOR: Everyone who needs a boost in the morning. This best-seller mixes Madagascan black pepper with coriander and basil to pep you up on the most sluggish of days. Dads, brothers, boyfriends, husbands, friends – this is a one size fits all product.
- YES TO TOMATOES DAILY CLARIFYING CLEANSER
GREAT FOR: He who splashes his face with water and thinks it’s ‘clean’. The humble tomato is packed with a potent antioxidant, lycopene – an anti-inflammatory that banishes impurities and keeps skin fresh and clear. My 21-year old brother still suffers from the occasional teenage spot, so he’ll be getting this in his stocking this year.
- KORRES ALOE AND DITTANY SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER
GREAT FOR: The man who spends more time than he’ll admit on his hair. This great everyday duo that contains aloe, rich in proteins and amino acids to nourish strands and dittany, a mild antiseptic to make sure hair is left squeaky clean.
GREAT FOR: Any fella looking for a do-it-all moisturiser. This gentle, yet super effective pot is a lightweight no-fuss cream that leaves skin comfortable and hydrated. The active ingredient falun works to encourage cell regeneration and improve the signs of ageing – he’ll love the change in his skin.
- YES TO CUCUMBERS FACIAL TOWELETTES
GREAT FOR: On-the-go guys. These towelettes are multipurpose – they’re great for freshening up after work or after a session at the gym. Organic cucumbers are packed with rejuvenating vitamins that help cool and soothe the skin so it’s left clean yet hydrated.
