The Complete Gift Guide to “Man” Things and “Woman” Things That Everyone Needs
For him, for her, for everyone.
*Affiliate disclosure.
Dolls for boys and trucks for girls – no problem. When it comes to our kids, give us pink shirts and dinosaur dresses and everything in between. But oddly, the gender binary is alive and well in marketing for adults – particularly when it comes to gifts. There are so many amazing, life-changing, how-did-I-function-without-this products men and women are missing out on simply because they aren’t marketed to all of us.
Well guess what? We’re done with it. Because delicious, healthy, progressive living isn’t binary. Ladies? Meet the slam ball. Gents? Exfoliation is your friend. This gift guide is filled with the brim with items to help you look and feel your best, from skincare to calming candles, beauty teas, and that getaway you’re sorely missing.
1. Ziip Beauty Nano Current Device (Via Violet Grey)
Zip Beauty Nano Current Device boosts your skin’s radiance, enhances lymphatic drainage, kills acne bacteria, and accelerates cellular repair. It keeps your skin in tip top condition down to the cellular level. Plus, it’s wireless, easy to use, and it delivers instant skin improvement. It’s the perfect gift for those that want to look their best everyday and but don’t have the time or the money for a weekly spa facial.

2. Stacked Skincare Microroller
The Stacked Skincare Microroller provides at home microneedling in a modern, super handy package. This tool improves skin’s texture and removes dark spots. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Eighty-six percent of those that have used the microroller says it promotes younger looking skin, and 82 percent said their skin looked plumper in just 12 weeks of use (this tool is a favorite of our very own co-founder, Laura Klein). Cruelty-free, sustainable, and designed by Kerry Benjamin, pro aesthetician, it’s an equally fabulous tool for men and women (though it’s not a good choice if you have active acne).
