The life of a beauty writer means we are blessed to be able to test hundreds of new launches and cult-fave products each and every day. And perhaps even luckier for our partners, family, and close friends: That means that they get their hands on countless beauty buys, too.

Personally? My husband has been loving our (now shared) nighttime skin care routine, and is much more easily coerced into a night of binge-watching our favorite show and testing a new face mask. What’s more, he has been caught experimenting with countless beard balms, face scrubs, under eye creams, hair pomades, solid fragrances, and even my tried-and-true LED light therapy SolaWave on more than one occasion. And while many items were deemed much too complicated, fussy, or seemingly useless in his eyes, there have been quite a few products that he absolutely loves (and asks me for frequent refills).

Right from the men in the lives of Bustle beauty editors — here are 12 must-have products that are sure to be a great gift for any man you love this holiday season and beyond. Happy shopping, lovers.

We at Bustle only include products that have been independently selected by our editors. We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

12 Products That Make Great Gifts For Men

Fulton & Roark Sterling Solid Fragrance
Fulton & Roark
“As a man who is always on the go or packing a duffel bag for weekend trips, my husband has been loving Fulton & Roark’s pocket-sized Solid Fragrances. He loves the experience of using his hands to rub in the scent, even putting some of the luxe balm in his beard, and appreciates that it’s not an overwhelming aroma, but is meant for just him (and me, of course).” — Olivia Rose Ferreiro, beauty writer
Oribe Superfine Strong Hair Spray
Sephora
“My husband has been using this hairspray for over a decade because he's heard from multiple stylists that it's the best of the best in the category and won't clog his pores or ‘make him go bald.’” — Rachel Lapidos, senior lifestyle & beauty editor
Chanel BLEU DE CHANEL All-over Spray
Sephora
“This body spray isn’t as potent as a cologne, but it’s more travel-friendly and still delivers an amazingly good scent (a mix of woodsy and citrus notes) that lingers on my boyfriend all day.” — Erin Stovall, senior beauty editor
Plant Apothecary Calm Down Moisturizing Body Wash
Plant Apothecary
“My husband hates bars of soap, much preferring a sudsy body wash — and this one has quickly become his go-to. Not only does he love the earthy aroma, but he says a little goes a long way. Even so: He is already asking for an endless supply of refills.” — Olivia Rose Ferreiro, beauty writer
NEST New York Grapefruit Candle and Diffuser Set
NEST New York
“For some reason, I've found that many of my guy friends still haven't hopped on the candle train, but this gift set from NEST will make anyone obsessed with scenting their home with the smell of fresh grapefruit. Plus, it comes in such an eye-catching package, all you have to do is add a bow.” — Faith Xue, executive beauty director
KORA Organics Minty Mineral Hydration Mist
Sephora
“As soon as I introduced this mist to my husband, it went missing (and was later found conveniently in his toiletry bag). His defense? The aroma reminds him of the mini-facial he gets at the barbershop, and the formula is refreshingly cool and effortlessly hydrating with only a few spritzes just out of the shower.” — Olivia Rose Ferreiro, beauty writer
Parfums de Marly Haltane Eau de Parfum
Nordstrom
“If you have a discerning guy in your life who wants to smell unique and intoxicatingly good, gift him this scent from Parfum de Marly immediately. With notes of bergamot, lavender, and clary sage that melt into warm oud and saffron, it's the perfect cold-weather scent — and the best part is you can steal it to wear for yourself.” — Faith Xue, executive beauty director
CO. by Colgate SuperNova Rechargeable At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
Ulta
“My husband is very serious about his teeth care routine — and this easy-to-use kit is the perfect way to see a noticeably whiter smile for special events and beyond.” — Olivia Rose Ferreiro, beauty writer
BYBI Clean Beauty Bright Eyed Vegan Eye Cream for Tired Eyes and Dark Circles
Target
“The only skin care product my husband uses is an eye cream, and this one is by far his favorite. According to him, the appeal is all in the name: It truly brightens his under eye area, and it reminds him of that song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler (that goes "turn around, bright eyes"). I've never loved a product simply for its name, but hey — whatever gets him to take care of his skin.” — Rachel Lapidos, senior lifestyle & beauty editor
P.F. Candle Co. Teakwood & Tobacco 12.5 oz Soy Candle
P.F. Candle Co.
“When we are able to spend low-key weekends relaxing at home, my husband is a big fan of lighting a candle to set the vibe (but likely wouldn’t go out of his way to buy one on his own). As for this soy-based steal? Notes of worn-in leather, woody tobacco, and a hint of zesty orange create a feeling of cozy warmth in any space.” — Olivia Rose Ferreiro, beauty writer
Burberry Hero Eau de Toilette
Ulta
“After months of testing fragrances for our wedding day, my husband (finally) landed on Burberry Hero. Not only does it last all day and night, but the aroma is the perfect balance of fresh and deep, with notes of exotic bergamot, spiced black pepper, and luxe cedarwood.” — Olivia Rose Ferreiro, beauty writer
Uni The Body Kit
Uni
“I'm obsessed with the body care brand Uni and have gotten my boyfriend hooked as well. The chic, refillable packaging, fresh (but not overpowering) scents, and skin-soothing formulas make this brand the perfect gift for any guy in your life.” — Faith Xue, executive beauty director
