Whenever I see men’s kits, I get jealous. They always look so clean, well-packaged, & they really cater to my husband’s love of simplicity when it comes to any kind of self-care. If I handed him 9/10s of my stash he’d roll his eyes because he really is focused on the packaging! I loved advertising & media in college so that’s always something I think about with clients & as a consumer- who is the target? This SkinStore Limited Edition Men’s Collection is perfection & really hits every note- keep reading for all the details! [Read more…]
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Men 2013
When it comes to shopping for a man, life is hard. When my husband wants something, he buys it. Same with my dad & about every other male in my life. What do you get the guy who has everything? Well, if you write in the beauty field, you get them something you would like them to have.
Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani Cologne: If you haven’t found the scent for your significant male other yet, seriously give this one a sniff. Maybe this is a cheater option because this brings back lots of memories of meeting my husband & getting married & such…but it is absolutely wonderful. With notes of both woody & marine notes all tied up in a masculine bottle, this is a favorite. Even my “non-foofoo” husband likes this & has worn it for years.
Pinch Provisions Minimercency Kit for Him: Want something useful? This mini kit for men is perfection. It is small enough to contain the necessities & contains items you can replace after you use them as well. From a breath freshner to stain remover to floss this little kit has your guy covered. At only $13, this is the perfect gift for any occasion. Plus, look at how cute that packaging it! A sturdy metal tin with a mustache? Yes please.
Trigger Massage Candle for Him: One of my personal favorite gifts for newlyweds are massage candles & they’re always a great idea for Valentine’s Day as well. With notes of cedar, vanilla, & masculine musks this is a great masculine scent that will fill up the room when burned then you use the warmed, melted wax as a massage oil. For every man who thought he didn’t like candles, this should change his mind. You can find this one from Perfumeland. They also have loads of other types of scents & this candle in a spray form.
Jack Black Turbo Body Bar: I love this bar of soap. I don’t think I’ve ever stated that on this blog. I’m not a bar soap fan. This one holds together incredibly well, exfoliates, & leaves a great natural scent. It smells a bit like shea butter & tea tree oil? The lava rock is the exfoliant & it kicks other bars out of the water without being too rough. Exfoliating, moisturizing, & it lasts a nice long time? Get in my shower.
Ghirardelli Chocolates: If nothing seems to quite fit, go with a winner. Ghirardelli is some of the best & my house takes chocolate pretty seriously. Dark chocolate is usually my flavor of choice. Dark Chocolate with Strawberry Filling? Yeah that doesn’t last long with my husband. Not into dark chocolate or even milk chocolate? Try the Ghirardelli Sublime White Vanilla Dream All Natural Chocolate which is made with real vanilla beans. It is ridiculously good.
So there you have it, some awesome options for Valentine’s Day gifts for your guy! What are you getting the guys in your life?
