This holiday season, POPSUGAR Beauty tapped some of our favorite influencers, including popular brand owners, bloggers, pros, and celebrities, to share the gifts they would like to receive or give. Find more gifting inspiration here.

Michael Dubin changed the shaving game. When he launched his company, Dollar Shave Club, in 2011, it quickly became a hit with men (and even some female POPSUGAR staffers) looking for inexpensive razors. The subscription service supplies its customers with shaving goods at nice prices (starting at $1 per blade), and recently, the brand expanded to include more grooming items. (He also starred in this viral video.) Since Dubin seems to know what people want, we had to get his advice on gift giving.

"While shopping for the holidays, I'm very practical," he told us via email. "My general gifting approach is to find gifts that are personal and useful. I think it's a nice gesture to find a present that adds value and convenience, whether I'm shopping for my mom or a colleague. And if you still can't find anything last minute, a thoughtful card goes a long way."

"This is a simple, on-the-go comb to keep in a gym bag. I'm planning on getting this for my colleague who works out in the morning and gets ready at the gym."

Baxter of California Comb ($20)

"Keeping your hands looking good isn't just for women getting mani and pedis at the nail salon. If you have any friends who bite their nails, this kit will help keep him (or her) under control."

Gentlemen's Hardware Manicure Kit ($27)

"Dollar Shave Club's Holiday Shave Set is the perfect gift for a vendor because it keeps you top of mind every month. You hand them a fancy first box, and then they take over the subscription from there. Plus, if you get them a year of the Executive, we're throwing in our new DSC Traveler on the house."

"Buying cologne for guys is hard. It's a personal choice and it smells differently on every guy. I like the idea of giving a friend a wide variety of colognes and he can choose what he likes and what he wants to continue wearing."

Sephora Favorites Cologne Sampler ($65)

"You may laugh, but this is serious business. There's nothing more distracting (and disgusting) than nose hair peeking out. You've got to trim it. And I'm not telling who I'm giving this to . . . "

Panasonic Ear & Nose Trimmer ($18)

"I'm a big fan of this watch. It's simple, and most importantly, easy to read at a glance. I'd be pretty happy if someone gave it to me."

Tsovet Watch ($325)

"One of my friends is getting married next year, and I know his fiancé wants the wedding pictures to be perfect. The GLO Brilliant Teeth Whitening Device will help perfect those pictures."

"There are few scents better than a really great candle. Not one that just smells when you pick it up, but one that will actually fill the room. P.F. Candle Co's Good Vibes Combo Pack do just that."

"Unlike what most people think, you have to protect your skin year-round. DSC's Big Cloud protection line is a great stocking stuffer. The best part is it doesn't matter if they live in the Northeast or West Coast, everyone needs a Daily Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen and moisturizing lip balm."

"This Hook & Albert Garment & Weekender bag makes a lot of sense. It's perfect for the business traveler and it would make packing for quick trips very easy."
