Gift Sets by Aesop, $60–$110 from aesop.comWhen it comes to grooming, no other company has as comprehensive a commitment to good design. Take for instance Aesop's architecturally savvy retail environments and impeccable packaging. This year, the Australian brand channeled the look of Italian Futurists for its seasonal gift sets. Four different groupings range from lip and body care to a geranium-scented trio to a quartet of the company's best-selling items. While the line is unisex, the Intensity trio of body cleanser, post-shave lotion, and deodorant is geared specifically toward men. Reliable sources tell us that the potent botanicals in the deodorant will leave you smelling like you've rolled around in the Australian bush (in a good way).
