That’s why we rather like the idea of giving a Harry’s shaver kit this Christmas.
It’s practical, smart-looking and, importantly, something that is likely to get used long after the decorations have gone back into the loft.
Harry’s has built its reputation around making shaving straightforward.
Its razors feature German-engineered blades, comfortable handles and products designed to turn an everyday necessity into a rather more pleasant grooming routine.
A present that won’t gather dust
One of the attractions of a shaving kit as a Christmas gift is that it is genuinely useful. Plenty of us have received presents which seemed like a good idea on Christmas morning but somehow found their way into a cupboard by February.
A good razor is different.
For a husband, partner, dad, grandad, brother, son or other man in your life who regularly wet shaves, a Harry’s kit combines the practicality of an everyday product with enough of a premium feel to make it suitable for putting beneath the Christmas tree.
Depending on the particular kit you choose, Harry’s shaving sets can include a razor handle, blade cartridges and shaving products. There are also grooming and skincare products available if you want to put together a larger present.
Good for younger men, too
We think a shaving set could make an especially thoughtful present for a teenage son or grandson who is beginning to shave.
Rather than giving him a packet of disposable razors, presenting him with his own proper shaving kit makes the occasion feel a little more grown-up. Add some shaving gel or cream and perhaps a wash bag and you've created a useful grooming gift that could accompany him to university, holidays or weekends away.
Ideal for the man who says he wants nothing
We all know at least one.
“What do you want for Christmas?”
“Nothing. I’ve got everything I need.”
That's when practical presents really come into their own. If somebody is going to buy razor blades during the year anyway, giving them a quality shaving kit means you’re providing something they actually need while still giving them something enjoyable to unwrap.
And unlike some Christmas gifts, there are no batteries required, no complicated instructions and hopefully no desperate hunt for the receipt on Boxing Day.
Give everyday luxuries
At That’s Christmas 365, we think some of the best Christmas presents are little upgrades to everyday life.
A Harry’s shaver kit fits that description rather nicely. It takes something as ordinary as the morning shave and makes it feel just a little more luxurious.
Wrap it beautifully, pop it under the tree and you've got a smart, useful Christmas present for one of the men in your life.
And surely that's better than buying him another pair of socks?
That’s Christmas 365 tip: If you're making up your own grooming hamper, consider combining a Harry’s shaving kit with a wash bag, face moisturiser, favourite shower products and perhaps a new dressing gown. It turns a practical gift into a rather impressive Christmas package.
As for myself, I don't need one, because I bought myself one the other day and thought: "This would make a great post on That's Christmas!"
