Why This Men’s Relaxation Gift Box – Lavender Edition Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good gift for a man who's hard to buy for — is the Man Therapy Lavender Gift Box a good choice?
Yes — it's practical grooming he'll actually use: a lavender shaving soap and shaving brush for a traditional lathered shave, a goat milk soap for the shower, and a massage oil for tired shoulders. The lavender is fresh rather than flowery, so it suits men who don't usually go for scented products.
What occasions suit this men's lavender gift box?
It's a favourite for Father's Day, and it also suits birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and thank-you gifts for husbands, partners, dads and brothers.
Does this gift box arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed, ready to send straight to the recipient: just enter their address as the shipping address. To include a personal message, add one of our greeting cards to your order and write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart — we'll handwrite it on the card. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How does he use the shaving soap and brush in this men's lavender gift box?
Wet the brush with warm water, swirl it over the shaving soap to build a lather, then brush the lather onto damp skin and shave as normal. Use the goat milk soap in the shower, and massage a little oil into the shoulders and neck after a long day.
Does this men's lavender gift box contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The Lavender Massage Oil contains sweet almond oil, the Lavender Goat Milk Soap contains goat milk and coconut oil, and the shaving soap contains shea butter. Please check each item's ingredients if he has a nut, coconut or milk allergy. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift box come from?
The massage oil is made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The goat milk soap and shaving soap are both scented with English lavender fragrance.
