Father’s Day Gifts for the Well-Groomed Man

Nadine Sharon Anglin | June 14th, 2014

Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to gift a special man in your life with a present designed to help him look his best (because despite what many men think, everything is not taken care of once he’s splashed on some aftershave).

Taking special care to select the right cologne or smoothing facial scrub is not vanity–it’s like crossing the T and dotting the I on one’s personal style statement.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some great Father’s Day gift ideas that don’t have anything to do with a Windsor knot or a golf tee.

Help dad upgrade from his go-to, everyday cologne with one of these fresh new scents for the season. There’s a cologne for every personality.

Tweezerman G.E.A.R Essential Grooming Kit ($32), and Moustache Scissors with Comb Combo ($20); available at Shoppers Drug Mart
Precision tools in a rugged package? Sounds like the perfect pairing for dad. The G.E.A.R line is sophisticated, but uncomplicated (he would get the same results with your hot pink toe clipper, but now he has his own urbane version). The Essential Grooming Kit includes a stainless steel point tweezerette, nail clipper, facial hair scissors, and a multi-use nail tool. And for the ‘stached fellows, there’s the moustache scissors with comb combo–Tom Selleck would be proud.

The Body Shop’s Hemp Head-to-Toe Body Care gift set ($45), available at The Body Shop
Hemp seed oil is perfect for hydrating super dry skin and this package includes four essential products: a face cream, body butter, hand cream and lip conditioner. Plus, it’s all packaged in this useful reusable tin.
