LookFantastic men’s £45 grooming edit is worth £145

Father’s Day is fast approaching (it’s on June 21 this year, in case it’s slipped your mind), and if you’re anything like me and have a dad who insists he doesn’t need anything, finding the perfect gift can feel almost impossible.

One option that’s becoming increasingly popular is the grooming gift set. Beauty bags have been around for years, covering everything from skincare to haircare, but they’ve traditionally been geared more towards women. That’s beginning to change, though, with more brands launching grooming edits designed specifically for men, packed with skincare essentials, shower products, fragrances and beard care treats.

Next has already unveiled its Father’s Day Grooming Edit for 2025, priced at £25. The retailer says the contents are worth £84, making it an affordable way to treat the father figure in your life. Now, following closely behind, LookFantastic has launched its own Grooming Edit, and it’s certainly caught my attention.

According to the brand, the men’s beauty box contains products worth an impressive £145, yet shoppers can pick it up for just £45. Inside, you’ll find a selection of products from well-known names, including Rituals, Jo Malone, Clinique, Dermalogica, Aveeno and Barber Pro – all brands that are synonymous with premium grooming and often come with premium price tags to match.

The edit offers a good mix of products across skincare, fragrance and haircare, giving recipients the chance to try a variety of high-end favourites. Everything arrives packaged inside a practical washbag that can be reused long after the products are gone, making it especially useful with the busy summer travel season just around the corner.

Of the seven products included, three are full-size, while the remaining four are described as deluxe sizes, which, on closer inspection, essentially means they’re travel-sized. That’s not necessarily a drawback, however, as every product is 100ml or under, making them easy to pack into hand luggage for holidays and weekend getaways this summer.

Shoppers have generally been impressed by the value on offer. In one review, a customer described the beauty bag as a “great deal”, writing: “An amazing selection, very well selected, wide range of products.”

Not everyone was completely satisfied, though. One shopper felt the presentation let the gift down, explaining: “Bought as a gift, what a shame that it comes with a large barcode label stuck to it, which is really difficult to get off. Makes a nice gift appear cheap.”

Overall, however, the grooming edit has earned a solid four-star rating from previous shoppers, suggesting it’s proving a popular choice for those still searching for a Father’s Day gift.
