Visionary Holiday Gifts
Home stretch! Hopefully by now you've selected (and wrapped) most of your holiday gifts. Perhaps there are a few people left on your list that have you scratching your head. Looking for a few last-minute gift suggestions? Visit your local eyewear retailer. Don't laugh, they're loaded with all kinds of stylish and practical gifts that will be truly appreciated.
Santa Claus would agree with me. Think about it - have you ever seen a photo of Old Saint Nick not wearing glasses?
How about a gift certificate for new prescription eyewear? You can enclose it inside one of those nice color flyers designers use to promote their hottest frames - just ask the merchant. Think about sunglasses or ski goggles with full UV protection. Extreme sport survivors would appreciate some polycarbonate goggles. Competitive swimmers or scuba enthusiasts would love to have a pair of customized goggles made with their prescription; that way they can see where they're going! Who wouldn't want a pair of specs to use when working at the computer? I bet you know someone who might read more comfortably with one of those innovative hand magnifiers.
Stocking stuffers are just as easy. There are several inexpensive brands of eyeglass lens cleaning cloths (try one, you'll never go back!) There are all kinds of cool lanyards for kids and adults that comfortably hold eyewear around your neck. Could someone use a nice supply of disposable contact lenses? Maybe a brand new contact lens cleaning kit? Are you with me on this? Why not help someone restock their supply of antioxidant multivitamins?
There, that should get you started. Get over to an optical shop and you'll find many more ways to share the holiday spirit. Happy Holidays from WebMD!
