There are nine grooming products – six of which are full-sized, including REN Clean Skincare Everhydrate marine moisture serum, which has an RRP of £40, almost paying for the entire box itself.
Among the miniatures, is a deluxe-size Elemis pro-collagen energising marine cleanser, and even a travel-friendly Jo Malone cypress and grapevine intense cologne, which is a rare find.
The edit is slightly more skincare-focused than Next's box, so one for dads into self-care.

In her papers, their separation date was cited as September 2022 and she requested primary legal and physical custody of their son, Wyatt. Now Drake has finally filed a petition in Seminole County, Florida. TMZ reports the Drake & Josh star submitted his documentation on Thursday.

Next's €34.50 shirt is 'feminine and flattering' and 'looks more expensive'
Next has launched a shirt that customers are raving about due to its incredible 'versatility' for autumn. Shoppers reveal they've been sporting the Soft Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt to the office paired with smart trousers, then switching it up at weekends with shorts or denim. The piece is available in three shades - blue stripe, neutral stripe and pink stripe. Ranging from sizes six to 26, it's priced at just €34.50 and features a V-neck collar plus chest pocket. Shoppers love Next's £28 stripe shirt because it is so versatile (Image: Next) The Next garment boasts an impressive 4.2 star rating across more than 70 reviews, reports Birmingham Live. One delighted customer commented: "On trend, true to size, feminine, flattering and versatile. "This shirt can be worn for business with a suitable layer or casual with a strappy vest open or closed. It looks more expensive than the price point. I would not hesitate to recommend this shirt." Another fan remarked: "Love these shirts, bought beige and blue stripe. Material feels lovely, washes and irons well. "Like that they don't button all the way up to the collar giving them a more feminine look in my opinion. Very versatile piece, I've worn them with jeans, wide leg trousers and shorts while on holiday." Crafted from a lightweight TENCEL and cotton blend, this long-sleeved shirt features a button-up fastening, a V-shaped neckline and a classic collar A third customer concurred: "Lovely shirt with a pair of formal trousers or jeans, soft material and hangs well." While another shopper added: "Love this lightweight shirt. It does crease easily but it's not too much of a problem. "Looks smart yet casual for an easy going put together look. Could also wear it as a cover up over a bikini tbh. My fav way to wear it is to throw it on over a casual pair of blue jeans or denim shorts and a clog shoe or sandal. Also looks great with a wedge sandle. Effortless style!" However, one shopper noted that the sleeves were a tad too long: "Really happy with my beige/white striped shirt. It fits well, however, the arm length is a little long, but looks great with the cuff turned over. It looks great with white trousers." Next describes the shirt as follows: "Dress to impress with our blue striped long-sleeved smart shirt. Crafted from a lightweight TENCEL and cotton blend, this long-sleeved button-down shirt is perfect for dressing up or down. The shirt features a button-up fastening, a V-shaped neckline and a classic collar." Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.

Shoppers praise Next's 'stylish' dress for its flattering fit and unique style
Next remains a favourite destination for fashion enthusiasts at present. The retailer has captured attention once more with a particular dress that's causing quite a stir. With summer still blazing and temperatures soaring, many of us are seeking stylish options for beer garden outings or garden barbecue hosting. One chic piece perfect for the ongoing heatwave is the high street favourite's Navy Kew Gardens Puff Sleeve Off Shoulder Midi Dress, which reviewers are praising as "so stylish" for various occasions. Priced at €59.50, this charming piece has been designed using airy, featherweight material that's perfect for the current sweltering summer conditions we've been enduring lately. The midi-length garment's dreamy aesthetic is enhanced by a fashionable all-over blue botanical print that transforms it into a standout piece, whilst the brief puff sleeves provide flexibility as they can be styled off the shoulders, reports the Daily Record. This floaty dress is ideal for balmy summer weather (Image: Next) For those seeking to conceal a swollen stomach, the design also boasts a gathered waistline that has received glowing feedback in reviews, with one customer noting that it "disguises" the tummy region. A sought-after item on the Next website, this €59.50 midi dress has already become unavailable in the petite length, with the standard version offered in sizes six to 26, plus several tall alternatives - although some are displaying "low stock." Seeking to refresh your wardrobe for the ongoing scorching weather? Another brilliant high street option that's ideal for soaking up the sunshine outdoors is New Look's Yellow Floral Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, which has been slashed from £45.99 (€53.26) to £15 (€18.50). For those preferring something more understated, H&M's Black Off the Shoulder Poplin Dress remains a chic choice at €29.99. The summer dress features a lightweight fabric with shirred detailing and short puff sleeves that can be worn on or off the shoulder, cut to a midi length With Next's floral number flying off the shelves in alternative designs, it's easy to see why it's secured a 4.2 rating from delighted customers who've described it as "flattering" and "a little bit different." One glowing review stated: "Gorgeous material with flattering empire line if you have a tummy to disguise. Beautiful fine cotton that's more of a sateen and is more floaty. "Fabric design is also beautiful and the style and length is a bit different to what everyone is wearing, therefore I have had lots of comments about it." Another five-star assessment declared: "Lovely summer dress. Great style quality fit and price. Cool fabric for the warm weather. Everything I've come to expect from Next." The dress has received rave reviews from shoppers A different customer gushed: "Lovely bright holiday dress. Very comfortable, instantly feel dressed when you put it on. Can be worn off the shoulder. Washes well. True to size." However, not all buyers shared the same enthusiasm, with one two-star critique noting: "Didn't sit right on my shoulders. Fabric felt quite hard also." Yet, there were more positive reviews, with another fashion enthusiast stating: "Lovely colourful dress for holiday. Size was spot on and the price wasn't too bad either." Make the most of the warm weather by snapping up Next's Navy Kew Gardens Puff Sleeve Off Shoulder Midi Dress (€59.50) now.
