Whether you consider yourself one step away from a professional makeup artist or simply someone who dabbles in skin care, chances are you've already checked out the new holiday options at Sephora when figuring out your own wish list. After all, there are plenty of stocking stuffers under $25 and so many lustworthy gift sets, too.
But because it's the season of giving, there's a good chance your holiday list includes more than just one person, even those who don't immediately jump to your mind when you think beauty brands. This list tackles presents for any men in your life be it older relatives, siblings, romantic partners, coworkers, and friends (but, truly, many of these are good for anyone, no matter their gender identity). There are shaving sets for smooth skin, travel kits that can be used right at home, and unique takes on commonly used products like deodorant and aftershave. These gifts range from the super personal — like a Tom Ford fragrance with a name that makes us LOL — to the simply useful, like a pack of unique lip balms or toothpastes.
Without further ado, check out 25-plus ideas for the men in your life found right at Sephora. OK, some of them are still like gifting yourself, too. (But shhhh, we won't tell if you don't.)
Jack Black Grab and Go Traveler
The Jack Black Grab and Go Traveler ($45) could easily be called the grab-and-stay instead. It's got a full skin-care routine inside including a multipurpose wash for face, hair, and body and even deodorant. Of course, this set will also work well once it's safe to grab it and go . . . or maybe you should stock up on more than one for now?
Dior Sauvage Deodorant Stick
Most people use deodorant, but this Dior Sauvage Deodorant Stick ($25) takes a drugstore version and kicks it all the way up 10 notches. Scented like the fragrance of the same name (with bergamot, pepper, and amber), this can also serve as a subtle smell for those who may not always put on a separate cologne.
Hermès Terre d'Hermès After-Shave Balm
Another fragrance alternative (or secondary way to wear his favorite scent), this Hermès Terre d'Hermès After-Shave Balm ($79) adds the same earthy, green aroma found in Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette ($89-$167) to a nongreasy aftershave formula that soothes razor burn.
Glo Science Glo Lit At-Home Teeth Whitening Device Kit
White teeth are one gift that pretty much guarantees smiles, and this Glo Science Glo Lit At-Home Teeth Whitening Device Kit ($149) means there's no extra dentist visit involved, either. This high-tech set uses both heat and LED light technology to help remove stains right at home (with a pack of seven cleaning treatments inside), and there's also an app to track progress and log reminders.
Nest New York Birchwood Pine Reed Diffuser
This Nest New York Birchwood Pine Reed Diffuser ($48) adds a woodsy scent to any home for up to 90 days. It also adds flair for anyone whose current idea of coffee-table decor is just the remote control.
Jack Black The Balm Squad
You may already have your glossy posse, but there's no reason not to spread the love and share this Jack Black The Balm Squad ($25) with other people in your life. Scents range from a sweet vanilla bourbon to a spicy mango chili lime, but they all have SPF 25 and shea butter to combat chapping and leave lips soft — and safe — all season long.
Sephora Favorites Men's Cologne Sampler Set
Big family? No problem. Here's a game to play with the Sephora Favorites Men's Cologne Sampler Set ($68). Gather the fragrance-lovers in your family to sample the nine popular fragrances offered in this set (valued at $106). Then pick one winner to use the included voucher for a free full-size version of their chosen scent. Or you could just give the entire bag to one family member (along with that voucher), then let that person decide what to do with the remaining samples, if you want to stick to traditional gifting protocol.
Nudestix Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer Gel
A need for clean hands on the go isn't going away anytime soon, but this set of Nudestix Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer Gel ($8) offers slim options that can be slid right into a stocking before each one slips in a wallet or pocket before he leaves home.
The Art of Shaving Beard Wash — Peppermint Essential Oil
Just 'cause The Art of Shaving Beard Wash — Peppermint Essential Oil ($15) smells like candy canes doesn't mean it's only good to use during the holidays. It removes dirt, oil, and other impurities from a beard and leaves just smooth, shiny hair and moisturized skin behind. Now, that's sweet.
Jack Black Performance Remedy Dragon Ice Relief and Recovery Balm
If there's a problem, this Jack Black Performance Remedy Dragon Ice Relief and Recovery Balm ($24) can help solve it. It relieves aching muscles and joints, soothes bruises and sprains, and even helps with headaches and general stress thanks to its menthol, aloe, and special "dragon's blood."
Lab Series For Men Oil Control Clay Cleanser + Mask
Perhaps he wants his own special treat for your weekly joint self-care routine? No problem, as this Lab Series For Men Oil Control Clay Cleanser + Mask ($26) takes on red, oily skin (and large pores) with Amazonian clay and an AHA/BHA blend to exfoliate. Or if you're still trying to encourage him to take part in your masking habit, this one also does double duty as a simple foaming cleanser.
Slip Beauty Sleep Collection Gift Set
Maybe there's someone you share your bed with who happens to keep trying to nab your pillow, or maybe you just want a matching set for style's sake? Consider gifting a beau this Slip Beauty Sleep Collection Gift Set ($122) with a sleep mask (if he's also complaining about how late you stay up reading), or opt for the Slip Silk Pillowcase — Standard/Queen ($89) solo instead.
Tom Ford Tuscan Leather All Over Body Spray
This Tom Ford Tuscan Leather All Over Body Spray ($75) does have a rich leather-and-suede aroma, but there are also spicy — thanks to saffron and thyme — and sweet — thanks to jasmine — hints. (Sorry, an actual trip to Tuscany is not included here.)
Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer
For those who spend time working with their hands, this Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer ($15-$46) is one treat they'll be happy to see on a rough patch. In fact, it has been tested from everyone from chefs to doctors and can also seep right into dry feet, elbows, and knees.
Kiehl's Since 1851 Men's Groom on the Go
The name of this gift pack — Kiehl's Since 1851 Men's Groom on the Go ($40) — says it all, but it's not just for frequent flyers (since who's doing much of that this year?). This set makes a nice introduction to the line, or you can share the wealth and split them up giving the caffeine-infused face wash or energizing moisture treatment to a coffee-lover and the brushless shave cream to the well-groomed guy instead.
Sephora Collection Holiday Coconut Foot Mask
This Sephora Collection Holiday Coconut Foot Mask ($5) makes a sweet (smelling) stocking stuffer . . . and a silly photo op. Your loved one just slips on these leopard-print booties, and the coconut oil extract repairs dry feet and rough heels so they're left nourished and soft.
Anthony Invigorating Rush Hair + Body Wash
This Anthony Invigorating Rush Hair + Body Wash ($56) is a multitasker for your own beloved multitasker. The foaming lather offers the same effect as regular soap or shampoo without the need for two separate products. And then there's an alpine wood scent that could swap in for a follow-up fragrance. Could that be any more low maintenance?
Tom Ford Conditioning Beard Oil
Love him, love his beard. And now, with this Tom Ford Conditioning Beard Oil ($57), you can truly show it with a nourishing blend of almond, jojoba, and grapeseed oils stashed inside. First, decide whether he'd be more into "oud wood" or "tobacco vanille," and why not also throw in the Tom Ford Beard Comb ($40) while you're at it for the total grooming package?
Kiehl's Since 1851 "Ultimate Man" Body Scrub Soap
Tell him what he really means to you just with the product name of this Kiehl's Since 1851 "Ultimate Man" Body Scrub Soap ($15). It's not only a cheeky gift, it also packs oat kernel and pumice to exfoliate away dead skin cells as it cleanses.
Jack Black Shave Essentials
This Jack Black Shave Essentials ($25) is quite the treat to anyone who shaves. First, they can use the pore-unclogging glycolic face wash to get a clean canvas. Next, a lathering cream helps keep skin cushioned under the blade, and finally, top it all off with an SPF moisturizer to keep skin smooth and safe afterward.
Christophe Robin Thickening Shampoo Paste With Rassoul Clay For Men
If someone you love grabs any shampoo at random (at the store or in your own shower), this Christophe Robin Thickening Shampoo Paste With Rassoul Clay For Men ($53) makes a thoughtful gift-slash-nudge. It not only cleanses hair but also removes impurities and oils with a special clay that helps build volume and strength in the final style at the same time.
Kiehl's Since 1851 Facial Favorites For All
This Kiehl's Since 1851 Facial Favorites For All ($49) packs bestsellers together for a whole new gentle skin-care routine. There's a foaming face wash and toner to get things clean every day, plus a deeply cleansing mask for weekly use. Of course, the moisturizer inside will come in handy, too, especially when there's a chill in the air.
The Art of Shaving The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave
One of the best things about The Art of Shaving The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave ($95) set is the fact that it's free of alcohol, synthetic dyes, and fragrances, which can irritate our loved ones with sensitive skin. It encourages people to use the brand's four steps of shaving — prepare, lather up, shave, and moisturize — and, as Sephora customers have noted, it's a great introduction to shaving for teenagers. Plus, after the preshave oil (to soften and prepare), shaving cream (to protect skin from razor burn), and after-shave balm (to soothe and rejuvenate) run out, the shaving brush can still be used with future purchases.
Clinique For Men Super Energizer Anti-Fatigue Depuffing Eye Gel
The Clinique For Men Super Energizer Anti-Fatigue Depuffing Eye Gel ($34) is a roll-on gel to instantly reenergize tired-looking eyes. The quick-absorbing, depuffing formula is easy to apply to brighten any face and day — starting with Christmas morning in a stocking. Let's just say it's perfect for anytime last night's plans are still written all over someone's face on Zoom the next day.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Pro Facial Steamer
Have a spa-obsessed friend who's trying to make better money moves come 2021? Introduce the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Pro Facial Steamer ($149) for an in-home spa experience. The machine serves as a portable facial steamer to clarify a complexion and detoxify skin. After less than 10 minutes of getting steamy, skin is left primed for exfoliation or for absorption of any moisturizers, or other skin-care products, that come next. Spa day for two next?
Marvis 7 Days of Flavor Set
Brighten that smile — literally — with the Marvis 7 Days of Flavor Set ($36). It includes all seven flavors in the product line, so give it to someone who's especially proud of those teeth, or divide it up among your family members. Then everyone can be (a different version of) minty fresh, from classic or cinnamon mint to the more unusual licorice or ginger flavors.
Clinique For Men Anti-Aging Starter Kit
You know that saying "we're not getting any younger"? Well, sadly, it's true for all of us, but it's never too soon to think about forming good skin-care habits and working to keep skin as supple as possible. That's where the Clinique For Men Anti-Aging Starter Kit ($15) comes in. We're not saying give this to a family member who will bristle and think you're calling him old, but maybe someone closer to your same age since, like we said, we're not getting any younger. This kit includes a charcoal face wash, cream shave, and antiage moisturizer to combat lines, wrinkles, and dullness. Only the moisturizer mentions antiaging on the label, so if need be, remove that from the set and give it to someone who's a little less sensitive.
Tom Ford F*cking Fabulous All Over Body Spray
You know that straight-shooting friend who never holds back their words, even when the situation may warrant a little more decorum? It's time to introduce the fragrance that manifests their entire being in the product name itself: Tom Ford F*cking Fabulous All Over Body Spray ($95). The warm and spicy unisex fragrance has key notes of fresh lavender, bitter almond, vanilla, and leather, and the right person will definitely love its name, too. And if you're feeling really f*cking fabulous? There's an eau de parfum version from $75-$895 as well.
Lab Series For Men Day Rescue Defense Lotion SPF 35
Know someone who spends a lot of time outside in the elements? (For our purposes, the "elements" could involve heli-skiing . . . or walking to the subway in winter.) Everyone should know that it's important to always wear sunscreen, even when the sun is but a distant memory. Lab Series For Men Day Rescue Defense Lotion SPF 35 ($35) not only has sun protection to filter out UVA and UVB rays, but it also fights dehydration and replenishes moisture as needed and protects against pollutants in the air.
