And now it is time to get down to the gritty business of Christmas Shopping for the gritty men in our lives. There are plenty of feeble stores selling liabilities as gifts, don’t be fooled, if you wan’t to give fair dinkum gifts to fair dinkum blokes then you can’t pass up on what’s on the shelves here at Barber Industries. We are chockablock full of the world’s best grooming products from the world’s best brands and we have handy gift packs from American Crew, Uppercut Deluxe, Proraso and 18.21 Man Made.
Traditional Razors and Shaving Kits are well suited when buying for dads and grandfathers and they are the type of gift that resonate well with the modern day gentleman, they are little luxuries that really show how much you care, they compliment masculinity and are something that can be appreciated over and over again they are used as part of his daily grooming routine.
For brothers, sons, nephews and all the little ratbags, a puck of grooming goods is a good stocking filler or a Socks and Pomade Tin from Uppercut Deluxe will sit pretty under the Christmas tree.
One thing is for certain and that is that blokes are not always the easiest to gift shop for. Guys like to choose their own adventure and that is where our new ‘Golden Ticket Gift Voucher’ comes into its own. It takes the guess work out of Christmas shopping and is the ultimate prize for every bloke to crack open this Christmas Day. The vouchers are enshrined in the expectation of good things to come, they shimmer in gold and have physical strength that speaks volumes on their own or as part of a package.
Don’t forget to spoil yourself a little this festive season, come in for a visit, sit back, relax and enjoy the experience that you are so accustomed to with us. Talk to the staff if you have questions about gift shopping, they are in the know and can give you all the right advice about our products.
As Christmas approaches the trading hours at Westfield Parramatta will be extended for gift shopping, we will trade a little later than usual to cater to your gift shopping needs.
