While it's arguably much harder to buy grooming products for men, who can often be pickier with the few products they opt in on, you can't go wrong if you choose a scent or grooming kit that matches their personality. This year's roundup of deluxe grooming gifts includes ideas that will suit the fashionable man, the classic man or even the practical man.

Tuscan Leather Holiday Set

Tom Ford's Private Blend collection Eau de Parfums are not for the ordinary man. Highly refined and beautifully packaged in a dark brown glass falcon, the Private Blend collection is for the man who cares as much about the blend in his sweater as the stitching in his shoes. This season Ford has created the ultimate gift set, honoring one of the line's most popular scents. The Tuscan Leather Holiday Set ($975) celebrates the gorgeous fragrance that captures the revered craftsmanship and love of details that can only be found in Italy. This chypre oriental is composed of black rose and black truffle concentrations mixed with saffron, and notes of oud and tree moss on top. The set is a must have for Tom Ford fans and includes: an Eau de Parfum Spray, larger size Eau de Parfum, Candle, Refillable gold atomizer with funnel and multi-use tray, sure to look amazing on any dark wood bureau top.

Hommage Carbon Shave Set

For some men it's about fragrance. For others it's about the perfect shave. Hommage debuted a brand new set this season ($500) for the discerning shaver. A brush made with Grade A silvertip badger hair bristles allows for a divine lathering. Made from hand-woven carbon fiber, this brush and razor set is guaranteed to give a perfectly sleek shave. A rubberized stand base and magnetized stand keeps the set looking smart on any marble counter.

Mason Pearson Popular Mix Military Brush

Who says only women need to invest in a good hair brush? For over 100 years, Mason Pearson has been setting the standard in brushing. The Military Brush ($215) is designed specifically for a man's grip, and offers the same benefits of the signature boar bristles and nylon blend to massage the scalp and stimulate growth. Increasing sebum production with each brush stroke, Mason Pearson brushes create a natural conditioner, protecting your follicles from roots to ends. For thick, shiny hair, the Military Brush is a grooming essential.
