Best Father’s Day grooming sets for 2024 starting under £30

With Father’s Day just around the corner on June 16, many people are on the lookout for the ultimate gift to avoid scrambling for something on Amazon Prime come Friday 14. We know dads can be notoriously hard to buy for, but lucky for you, our shopping experts have got you covered.

It’s no secret here at The Mirror that we love a beauty box, not least for their impressive contents, but also for the fact they’re often worth way more than the price you pay. And some of our favourite brands have launched their own take on the male equivalent just in time for Father’s Day.

Whether you’re buying for your Dad, Grandad, Stepdad, or a father figure in your life, high-street favourites like Boots, M&S and John Lewis, as well as online retailers like LookFantastic and Glossybox have released limited edition grooming edits just in time for the big day.

From skincare to haircare, men love and deserve a good pamper session, too, so we’ve picked out some of the best edits to shop this year, with some seriously impressive brands tucked inside. Plus, with prices from £30 to £60, there’s something to suit every budget, too.

But before we dive into the options, a word of advice from our consumer team. Be sure to take a close look at the price to value ratio, and see which products inside the box the person you’re gifting to is most likely to enjoy. With curated edits like this, it’s common for recipients to find one or two products they may not find suitable, or simply don’t like, but we hope with the selection we’ve hand-picked, you’ll find something that fits the bill.

Here are our top picks of Father’s Day grooming sets for 2024:
