“Can men use this, too?” — My husband asked me once, 5 years ago, as he picked up a BHA exfoliant that has worked wonders for my skin. The only reason he asked was because the product is packaged in a pink bottle. Of course men can use it, too.
As gender fluidity fills through our culture and more and more people are beginning to erase the old school boundaries of binary gender identity, I’ve been seeing so many amazing gender-neutral brands emerging in both the fashion and beauty spaces. And I think a lot of gender-inclusive products make wonderful gifts this holiday season!
Read on to see some of my personal favorites that I’ve come across so far.
Everyone is in need of hand creams, especially this year, after all the frequent use of hand sanitizers! Natura’s hand creams are amazing — they’re ultra-hydrating and not sticky at all. The Hand Cream Trio Set is great for gifting a couple to share. Plus, they’re designed in travel sizes, which makes it easy for anyone to pop the hand creams into their bags or pockets!
Founded by celebrity makeup artist Dillon Peña, Leland Francis is a luxury natural beauty brand that is vegan and free of fillers, fragrance or any form of artificial colors. Everything is handmade and formulated in the United States.
The skincare line is gender-neutral and designed to be suitable for all skin types. The multi-purpose Melting Balm that works as a cleanser, mask, as well as an overnight balm, or the non-toxic Luxe Face Oil that helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles are wonderful options to gift.
NYC-based luxury leather accessories brand Jeff Wan created a collection of chic reversible wrap bracelets that are designed for men and women.
The bracelet comes in 4 sizes — XS, S, M, and L — and is available in 13 colors. Priced at $65 each, the bracelets make a great gift option for couples.

The sustainable cashmere brand Naadam makes quality gender-neutral winter accessories, including beanies, as well as gloves, and scarves. The beanies are made of 100% Mongolian cashmere and come in 7 different colors.

This cult favorite line of clean, multi-purpose products, founded by two co-founders, Emily and Oliver, are designed for all genders. They place the focus on — skin!
Their highly-rated Golden Hour Recover Cream is a hydrating moisturizer suitable for all skin types. It’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and essential fatty acids like omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 oils. When my husband and I travel, we sometimes just bring this cream to share.
The face masks handmade in Italy come in 2 styles and each in 3 neutral colors that are suitable for both men and women. The fabric is waterproof which helps repel droplets!

These soft unisex socks are ethically made in the U.S. from plastic bottles and recycled textiles. The socks look so nice — it’s hard to believe they were once trash!
There are currently a few Holiday Gift Set bundles available — the Yours & Mine Bundle is my favorite.
This chic line of personal care products are designed for every kind of body and transforms daily body care routine into a mini self-care session.
In fact, I’ve often had to hide the fragrance-free Body Lotion from my husband — we’re both big fans!
More than just an ordinary dopp kit, this catch-all case has five interior drop-in pockets that makes organizing small things so much easier. Snap it down for compact travel or roll it back for easy access.
The best part? It’s made of 100% recycled polyester (from recycled plastic bottles to be exact!) with a water-resistant finish.

Roam Luggage is a fun brand that offers the choice of customizing your own suitcases — from the color of cases to zippers and wheels. The premium suitcases are handcrafted in the U.S., and built to last.
With the wide selection of color palettes available, there is something for everyone.

KOTN is an ethical fashion brand that uses fine natural fibers to make quality wardrobe staples for men and women.
The comfortable sweatshirts are my personal favorite. They come in a variety of colors and styles, with many unisex options available.

This chunky scarf comes in 3 colors and is made of 100% un-dyed wool yarn sourced from a ranch in Northern California that uses a sustainable “carbon farming” practice that focuses on returning more carbon to the earth than it releases! This process helps lower the levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
