We’ve got you! Last-minute gifts for him

Last-minute gift ideas for men: grooming tools

When it comes to last-minute gifts for dads, partners, brothers, and pals, you can’t beat personal grooming presents. They’re practical, personal, and a real treat to receive - definitely not the type of gift that’s going to collect dust at the back of a cupboard.

Need a little inspiration to get your gift-giving juices flowing? Here are a few grooming-related, last-minute gifts for him:

• Grooming tools: From shavers to trimmers, a quality personal grooming tool instantly upgrades their at-home hair styling. At Philips, we have a wide range of tools to meet different price points, ranging from high-end all-in-one trimmers to simple-but-effective shaving tools.
• Luxury scented shaving cream: Pair their grooming tool with a luxurious shaving cream. Choose a scent that reflects their personality or aligns with their fragrance collection, adding a little touch of opulence to their present.
• Aftershave: Opt for a timeless gift with aftershave or cologne. Choose a fragrance they already love or introduce them to something new, bringing a dash of spice, citrus, or musk to their grooming routine.
• Beard care kit: For the bearded man in your life, put together a beard grooming kit complete with beard oil, balm, a quality comb, and a beard trimmer. Choose tried-and-tested essentials that’ll take his grooming game to the next level.

Whether you’re looking for last-minute anniversary gifts for him or a birthday present for your dad, each of these ideas will go down a treat.

Philips last-minute gift ideas for men

Of all the gifts we’ve mentioned, grooming tools are our favourite. Philips has a wide range of trimmers and shavers to suit different fellas, so that you can match your tool to their unique style.

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect grooming tool, here are our picks for different grooming personalities:

• The clean-shaven guy

For the man who loves a smooth, clean shave, gift him the Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra. The patented Triple Action Lift & Cut system lifts hair at the root for a shave that goes -0.08mm below root level without nicking the skin. Paired with the 360° rotating NanoTech Dual Precision blades, which cut 25% more hair per stroke*, it’s the ideal shaving tool for a baby-smooth finish.

When it comes to last-minute gifts for boyfriends, dads, and mates who embrace a sleek, clean aesthetic, this is your winner.

• The beard perfectionist

Shopping for a bearded man who knows what he likes? Choose the Philips Beard Trimmer 9000, which brings versatility and precision to his personal grooming routine. The SteelPrecision Technology metal comb delivers a powerful, precise trim, while the anti-friction coating helps to reduce the most common shaving problems, including irritation and nicks.¹

The Beard Trimmer 9000 also includes the iconic Philips OneBlade to level up his hair removal routine. He’ll be able to switch from powerful trimming to smooth shaving; a must for getting rid of any strays that are sneaking around his beard.

• The grooming minimalist

Not everyone wants a million tools cluttering their bathroom. If you’re shopping for a guy who loves an organised home and high-level tools, we recommend the Philips All-in-One Trimmer Series 7000. It’s the tool that does it all, with an immense 17 functions in one ergonomically designed trimmer.

The wide range of attachments tackles grooming from head to toe - literally! He’ll have hair clippers, a body trimmer, a detail trimmer, and 22 length settings to choose from, to mention just a few of the features.

Making a last-minute gift for him feel personal

Last-minute gift ideas for men don’t have to feel rushed or impersonal. There are plenty of ways you can make a present feel special without putting in hours of work, including by:

• Choosing a gift that aligns with his grooming style
• Gifting products from ranges he already uses
• Upgrading an old tool he uses with a newer, better version
• Choosing a tool that meets his skin needs, like an electric shaver for sensitive skin
• Putting together a bundle of products that work together, like a trimmer, shaving cream, and aftershave

Alongside your gift, add a few little extras to really impress your fella.

For a last-minute present for your husband, for instance, you might include a handwritten love letter that lists your favourite things about him. Tie it up with a ribbon and pop it in an envelope for just the right amount of romance. For your dad, add a note thanking him for all the little things he does, and let him know he’s appreciated.

When paired with one of the gift ideas in this guide, these small finishing touches make your present feel anything but last-minute. It’s a little hack to instantly take your gift-giving to the next level, even when you don’t have hours to spare.

Last-minute gifts for men FAQs

What’s a good last-minute present for my husband?

Take a peek at your husband’s grooming products and see what’s running low. A new bottle of his favourite fragrance or beard oil just as it runs out feels perfectly timed and thoughtful. Check out his grooming tools, too, and see if any of them are looking a little old or rough around the edges, and buy him an upgrade.

Is a grooming tool a good gift for men?

A grooming tool makes a great present for a man, as long as it suits his grooming routine and style preferences. A beard trimmer for a man who likes a clean shave? Not ideal. But the Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra will give him the smooth, clean-shaven finish he’s after - now that’s a gift he’ll be over the moon with.

Finding last-minute gifts for boyfriends, dads, husbands, and friends doesn’t need to be a panic. Take a breath, keep this guide in mind, and match their grooming preferences to the right tool.

Remember: the i9000 Prestige Ultra for a clean shave, the Beard Trimmer 9000 for the man who loves to get his beard just right, and the All-in-One Trimmer Series 7000 for head-to-toe styling without a cupboard full of tools. Sorted.
