Us guys have a reputation for not really caring what kind of gift we get.
Yet that makes it even harder to buy a thoughtful gift for us, doesn’t it?
I know, I know, we’re an odd, easy-going breed.
But like a trusty Swiss army knife, a good gift set comes with multiple items, one of which we’re bound to love. Truthfully, we’ll probably end up using everything in there.
From us men to you, kind gift-giver, here are our favorites that we’d love to unwrap.
21 Best Men’s Gift Sets in 2023
There’s something luxurious about opening a form-fitted box with a good bottle of scotch and two classy glasses inside. Johnny Walker Blue is a classic gentleman’s scotch and the type of bottle he’ll be nursing and keeping around for years. This is a safe bet if you don’t know exactly what kind of scotch he likes as it’s a smooth, drinkable blend.
The one thing no one wants is a nice watch distracting from a tired, unkempt face. Lumin’s Anti-Fatigue Bundle delivers a fast four-step facecare routine that doesn’t tack on too much time or take too much money out of your wallet. It’s equipped with an exfoliator, a cleanser, a moisturizer, and under-eye cream. If picking out a watch for the day is part of his routine, this should be too.
Bespoke Post's quality of products, interesting monthly themes, and flexible subscription options, make their boxes a worthy complement to your monthly masculine lifestyle, and a fantastic gift option.
Dr. Squatch fills a need for organic, masculine soap in a positive way. Featuring fresh scents and natural ingredients, the soaps nourish your skin effectively and smell great. After a week of use, my skin is already less dry and flaky.
A universally loved, but often forgotten gift. Any worthy celebration calls for good champagne with two proper glasses to sip it from. Mailly Grand Cru is the only Champagne producer to source all of its wine from Grand Cru vineyards for a crisp, delicious champagne that’ll seriously beat out the cheap stuff.
If you want to treat your skin well and not think too hard about how to do it, Geologie is a great place to start. Their well-known Complete Skincare Trial set checks the major boxes of healthy skin maintenance in an easy-to-use system.
Its style matching may be less personalized compared to some of its competitors, but after experiencing Menlo Club's fantastic value for money and unique membership perks for myself, it’s no surprise that they’ve rapidly ballooned to over 100,000 active members.
If he regularly grills his food, or has been subtly mentioning how much he would love to be able to grill his food (wink, wink), Cuisinart’s wooden handle set has everything he’ll need to make delicious grilled creations. From tongs to spatula, fork, and skewers, everything fits in a convenient carrying case.
Shaving is an art, and the end result can seriously determine how you look stepping out the door. The Personal Barber is a UK-based brand curating the best shaving products for men. If he suffers from little red bumps, ingrown hairs, or one of the many other things that can go while shaving, give him a simple gift that elevates a routine experience.
Sometimes simple is better. Get him a bundle of deodorant and soap in one of Every Man Jack’s naturally-derived, clean-smelling scents. Too many guys are still using fragrance-ridden junky body washes that are terrible for them and collide with their natural scent. A good wash, bar, or stick of deodorant will change that.
Good seasoning enhances food, especially on the grill. Get him a well-rounded set of spices so can experiment with different recipes. You might just benefit from this one!
Is his bathroom missing some essential items? A nail clipper and grooming set is a simple, thoughtful gift that he’ll (hopefully) be using for the rest of his life. A good kit should include two sets of nail clippers, tweezers, and of course, small scissors for those unruly whiskers.
James Bond drinks them! Isn’t that all we need to say? A timeless bottle of vodka and two martini glasses will not only liven up his bar cart, but just might liven up his interest in mixology and cocktail making. A cocktail craftsman has to start somewhere, right?
If you can let go of the need for total control over what you receive in a subscription box at this price point, Watch Gang is a lot of fun, and a convenient way for you to organically develop your own sense of watch style alongside tens of thousands of fellow watch enthusiasts.
The best gifts are the ones you use regularly, and maybe even the ones you can eat as a snack! Jerky Gent is a premium, yet affordable jerky subscription that’ll supply him with a tasty, protein-packed snack to take to work, the gym, or anywhere else he’s rushing off to.
A quality charcuterie set is a socializing tool every guy ought to own. If he shows up to a picnic or dinner party with a thoughtful laid-out spread, you bet he’s scoring extra points with everyone there. Give this to the refined gentleman in your life and he’ll appreciate the value in it.
If he regularly takes care of his body, or if he needs to do a little better at it, a 5-in-1 foam roller kit with a muscle roller stick, a stretching strap, a double lacrosse ball, and spikey ball will do the trick. He might have his workouts down pat, but if he’s skipping the recovery session, he’ll feel it. This is a practical gift almost any guy will benefit from.
In the Navarch 6mm & Don Dino Black set, the thin black rope of the Navarch 6mm accents the thicker black rope of the Don Dino, but since they are both black, it’s hard to notice this. When worn together, these create a mixed dressy and casual style, but personally, I prefer to wear them separately to achieve either a dressy or casual look. The Navarch 6mm in all black would tie in nicely with an array of different watches, too.
Which Will It Be?
See, there are more great gift sets for men than you might have thought, even if we’re particularly odd, nonchalant creatures who never really know what we want.
There’s something luxurious about opening a form-fitted box with a good bottle of scotch and two classy glasses inside. Johnny Walker Blue is a classic gentleman’s scotch and the type of bottle he’ll be nursing and keeping around for years. This is a safe bet if you don’t know exactly what kind of scotch he likes as it’s a smooth, drinkable blend.
If he enjoys the occasional high-end glass of scotch or mixing up a nice martini, then deck out his bar cart with a Johnnie Walker Blue With 2 Glasses Kit or a Ketel One With Martini Glasses Kit.
Or, elevate his style or grooming game with thoughtful accessories or something he can keep in his bathroom and use in his daily routine.
There’s something on this list for every guy out there. Happy gift giving.
