Shopping for a guy who says he doesn't need anything is tough. Here are the gifts we'd want to open ourselves. Each one comes from a small independent maker and ships straight from that maker to your door. Shipping times are on each product page. Order early for Christmas, and earlier still if you're getting something engraved.
The keeper: Personalized Leather Dopp Kit ($69–$79)
A full-grain leather toiletry bag made by RockCow Leather Studio and laser-engraved with his initials or a name. It's big enough for full-size toiletries and tough enough for work trips. It's made to order, so give it extra time. Shop the dopp kit
For the beard: Men's Beard Grooming Set, 4 Pieces ($69)
Balm, cream, oil and tools in one bundle from EpiLynx. Shop the beard set
The full routine: Cedarwood 6-Piece Grooming Box ($79.99)
