The holidays can be a stressful time. On top of that, sometimes you just don’t know what to gift that special someone in your life. Make their lives easier—and your life, too—by snagging some simple self-care items to help folks feel a little more pulled together despite seasonal stress.

If you’re shopping for a bearded buddy whose facial hair could use a freshen-up, consider this beard comb and brush set from Viking Revolution, which is $6.92—that’s 50% off of its OG $14.88 price tag. A boar-bristle brush sloughs away any nasty crustiness, while a beard comb and scissors let you de-tangle and trim your beard to perfection. Throw in some unscented beard oil for an extra zhuzh.

This deal will be plucked away like a rogue nose hair, though, so act fast before it goes down the drain.

Here are some other on-sale self-care items that we’d gift others, or ourselves:

And, while you’re at it, prep for family visits (and the aftermath) by adding some cleaning & household essentials to your cart with Amazon’s Stock Up & Save program, which lets you save 20% when you buy $50 or more of select items:

Why Trust PopSci

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
