I ALWAYS FIND myself browsing grooming kits in the last two months of the year. When heading home for the holidays, it helps to have a set with every travel grooming essential ready to go. This makes packing my Dopp kit a breeze. But these kits also make the best gifts for every dude in my life. And nowhere are there better deals or a wider selection of grooming kits than on Amazon.
This, of course, isn’t surprising. Amazon is known for deals (see: Black Friday, Prime Day, etc.) and the sheer volume of options. That’s on top of the whole two-day shipping thing, which is consistently clutch for a serial last-minute shopper like myself. It goes hand-in-hand with my typical pack 30 minutes before the Uber arrives strategy, which brings us back to the benefit of having grooming and skincare sets ready to go to quickly toss in a Dopp kit. Amazon’s massive selection can be overwhelming, however. So don’t go scrolling blind; these are the best out there.
This is where you can start to consider the value of a grooming kit, so keep in mind the number of products you’re getting. A full beardcare routine with five products for under $40, like you do with the Every Man Jack Beard Essentials kit, that’s a great deal. But also consider the purpose of the set. As a gift for a bearded guy, that kit is perfect, but for traveling, five products may be a lot for those with less bag space. Something like Kiehl’s Travel-Size Skincare Set will be more your speed, with only three essentials that’ll take up barely any space at all.
The biggest factor when choosing a grooming or skincare kit is what products are included. Outside of the Braun Series 9 trimmer, which is really like five products in one, every option on this list includes at least three products. If you’re looking for a skincare set, grab one that includes a product for every key step of your skincare routine, like face wash, serum, and moisturizer. For those with sensitive skin, La Roche-Posay’s Hydration Heroes kit has you set. If you’re buying a gift for a teenager who is just learning how to shave, you’ll want to set him up for success with everything he’ll need, like in Bevel’s Shave Kit, which includes a razor, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and post-shave balm.
As Men’s Health grooming editor, I am constantly testing out the latest and greatest products. For this story, I considered grooming and skincare sets that I have personally bought or gifted, as well as ones from brands I trust and dig. While I haven’t purchased some of these kits in set form, all products listed below I have used and can swear by their effectiveness—most are even in my regular rotation. Based on my years of testing, these are the eight best grooming sets for men in 2025.
