If you have a bearded partner, friend, son or colleague, you probably know how proud he is of his manly mane. If you're sick of buying flannels and feel like a second or third buzzer is overkill, a beard gift set might be a perfect solution to your holiday indecision. Here's why men get so excited about a gift set.
What Is a Beard Gift Set?
A gift set is a handful of useful items. For standard daily hair care and other manly maintenance practices, Wild Willies carries several beard kits and gift sets, including The Rebel and The Maverick.
The Rebel
The Rebel Set contains beard wash, conditioner, a nail kit and daily SPF moisturizer. This kit is ideal for simple cleaning. The shampoo keeps hairs fresh and free of debris, while the conditioner softens and strengthens follicles. Many men neglect skincare beyond the lower face, but defending skin from the elements is critical for maintaining a pleasing appearance. This is why we included a protecting moisturizer with SPF 30.
The Maverick
The Maverick contains a grooming kit and a Bluetooth speaker. This kit is designed for those who need to groom extra hairs around the cheeks or under the neck. As men ourselves, we know that a lot of men spend this time wishing they could listen to their favorite podcast or song clearly instead of straining to hear their terrible phone speakers over the sound of rushing water. That's why we offer a high-quality, transportable Bluetooth speaker.
Other Kits
Beard growth kits provide growth oils and washes, and travel kits feature everything you need to keep a mustache on the go, as well as useful items for camping or staying overnight. Kits make traveling with facial hair a simple matter, as the convenient carry bags included have plenty of space for necessary items.
A Beard Gift Set Makes Having a Beard Exciting Again
No matter what you do in life, you're guaranteed to get used to it after a while. When you grow your first beard, every morning can feel like Christmas as you head to the bathroom mirror to inspect the almost-appreciable amount of scruff you've accumulated overnight. After a year or so, you're likely to have grown accustomed to your new face.
Many men simply give up on having a beard after a while. Because they require upkeep, it can be tempting to shave it all off. What many forget, however, is that maintaining a clean-shaven face can be even more difficult and painful. This is where a beard gift set comes in. When maintenance becomes enjoyable, having facial hair can be exciting again.
Beards Aren't Going Anywhere
Though men's styles run through almost as many cycles and changes as women's, there hasn't been a time in human history when men weren't proud of their whiskers. Currently, with the resurgence of facial hair in films and music, the popularity of beards may be at its historical apex. If you or your gift recipient intend to keep some scruff, you might as well do your best to take care of it.
Beards Are a Hobby
Although it's easy to have a beard, having a great one is much, much harder. In fact, the famous world beard and mustache competition has hosted some very impressive looks, from well-groomed, simple goatees to elaborate art pieces fit for a museum. Whatever your level of dedication to your craft, the key to differentiating yourself from those who simply refrain from shaving is to clean, trim, and shape your facial hair.
The Rebel beard gift set is ideal for simple maintenance. Other kits can help you into the world of shaping and trimming. There are hundreds of styles out there to try and experiment with. Just find one that works best for you and learn how to maintain your look with shaping tools, balms, and conditioners.
Women Love Beards
Yes, there are some women who don't love beards, but there are also women who hate adorable puppies. Recently, a University of Queensland study found that a large sample of women perceived men with beards as more dominant, attractive and assertive. Interestingly, the researchers proposed that part of this perception might be attributed to the psychological effects of having whiskers.
Men with facial hair, the study suggested, might perceive themselves as more masculine, encouraging them to behave in ways that reflect this belief. Over time, this results in a measurable increase in testosterone that further modifies behavior.
No matter who your beard gift set recipient is, a little more attention from the opposite sex can't hurt. Even if the only noticeable effects are an increase in confidence, you can't go wrong by encouraging them in their facial hair ventures.
Beard Tools Encourage Men To Groom
While this might seem to be more of a benefit to those around the beard wearer, grooming tools can reflect well onto their users. In the same way having a beard can attract partners by causing men to feel more manly, grooming a clean, pleasant-scented, and well-shaped one can result in loads of compliments and attention. Eventually, this might even become a positive loop of confidence and boldness.
A Beard Gift Set Speaker Makes Maintenance Time Useful
Imagine all of the time you've spent taking care of your basic hygiene. Though you can hardly consider this time wasted, it certainly wasn't spent bettering yourself in any number of other ways. Today, the world is full of ways to learn and grow through language-learning videos, podcasts, channels and audiobooks. A gift kit with a Bluetooth speaker can turn all of the time spent grooming, traveling and simply waiting into critical self-improvement time.
Having a beard isn't just about looking cool and rugged; it's a lifestyle that comes with a slew of awesome perks. If you or someone in your life is the proud owner of a beard, a Wild Willies beard gift set is perfect for any occasion. For all your other hair care needs, shop Wild Willies online today.
