Men-u is a British men’s grooming brand whose USP is their ultra concentrated products. Head to their website and you will find a number of gift sets. Included in this guide is the Pro Black Shaving Brush with Shave Creme buddy tube.
A new generation of shaving brush for a new generation of users, that's what it says on Men-u's website.

And to round up the list, here is an interesting inclusion from Endoca, a certified organic CBD producer.
Endoca products are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified, which means that their products are produced under pharmaceutical control so the concentration on the label is exactly what you get - guaranteed. Their manufacturing methods are eco-friendly from seed to shelf, making Endoca's CBD products among the purest and most ethical on the market.
Feature in the guide is Endoca's Starter Pack which is perfect for CBD beginners and includes Raw Hemp Oil Drops 300mg CBD+CBDa (10ml), Raw Hemp Oil Capsules 300mg CBD (30 capsules) and a CBD lips + skin balm 20mg CBD - allowing the recipient to sample the product in various formats and discover the one that works best for them.

The dash cam would be great for my husband!
ReplyDeleteWith the personalisation the “Swift Three for Dad” would make a really unique gift
ReplyDeleteThe dash cam would be great as I have had a couple of near misses that were not my fault.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick just one of these it would be the Classic Tan Leather Belt from Village Leathers. My other half needs a new belt as his current one is now too big, even though he's made a couple of extra holes in it! Most have gained weight in lockdown, we've lost it :D But that causes clothing issues ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Classic Tan Leather Belt from Village Leathers is what stands out for me on this list. My other half needs a new belt and this looks stylish and practical - most people have gained weight during lockdown, we've lost it but that comes ith it's own clothing issues too! :D
ReplyDeleteMy partner desperately needs a dash cam, our car is battered! I'm convinced its his driving and not the other people lol
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely pick the dash cam. My other half has been in a few accidents that he got blamed for when they weren't his fault and if he had had one of these it would have been so much easier!
ReplyDeleteThe dashcam and the phone would be my favourites; my Dad would love either of them.
ReplyDeleteDashcam, would be super useful, always wanted to get one.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely choose the dash cam for my husband as he’s wanted one for ages
ReplyDeletethe alcatel smart phone as my partners has a smashed up screen
ReplyDeleteAlcatel 3 2019 Smartphone, everyone seems to have one except me!
ReplyDeleteI would love to buy the dash cam for my hubby. Last year he bought a convertible car and suddenly every other road user seems to see it as a challenge. They pull out in front of him, cut him up, etc. It's awful. I'd love him to have some reassurance that he has these silly acts on camera.
ReplyDeleteThe smartphone is great value - looks easy to use too - would make the perfect gift
ReplyDeletethe Alcatel 3 2019 Smartphone would come in very useful and a good upgrade to what I have
ReplyDeleteAlcatel 3 2019 Smartphone because I need a faster phone
