Proactive Sunglasses Christmas Gift Shopping

Burberry Christmas SunglassesEyeglasses and especially sunglasses remain one of the most popular gifts with designer brand name. There are many reasons for it. Sunglasses are fashion items, yet they have much longer fashion life span than clothing or shoes for example. Many sunglasses, if treated properly, can even outlive expensive purse. Sunglasses don’t have an expiry date, it’s that simple.

Sunglasses make a great Christmas gift because they have much higher chance to fit your loved one than clothing or even shoes. Just because you keep seeing articles about fitting glasses and how different shapes only work for certain faces, does not mean that it’s true. With modern very persistent trends it has become apparent that shape does not matter. You see models of all kinds wearing same type of sunglasses. We no longer fit clothing to our body type either. So, as long as you choose adult sunglasses, you can be 90% sure they will fit from get go. If not, sunglasses can be adjusted in home conditions to fit better. It is estimated that from all online sunglasses purchases only 5% are returned. Compare this to 45% return rate for clothing to get the picture.

Another reason why sunglasses is such a great Christmas gift is because they are least expensive from the brand name items. Eyewear falls into term “affordable luxury”. It’s an entry level to the brand name shopping. Gucci sunglasses online prices range in $200s, while shoes cost over $400, purses over $1500. Prada, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana all go by similar price. Christmas shopping is usually tough on the wallet and getting designer sunglasses as a gift is just a wise idea from the budget standpoint.

Now, what is the best way shopping for sunglasses as a gift? We got a few recommendations to make your purchase most joyful for your loved one.

  1. Choose suitable style. Style is not a fit, nor is it a trend. Style is something that matches the overall look of your loved one. Is she or he fashionable? Then get her Prada or Dior. Does she wear a lot of jewellery? Then get her Bvlgari or Tiffany. What sunglasses she already have? Try getting a different brand name to avoid redundancy. There is plenty of choice on our website for everyone.
  2. Choose suitable size. You have nothing to worry about if she or he has average head size. If her face is very small or his head is very big you would know by now because it would come up in conversation. 90% of people have average head size and anything you pick will work. For smaller faces look for brands that offer different sizes in their collection. Tiffany, Prada, Dior all have smaller frames with width of 55 and less. If his head is large Prada Sport, Tom Ford and Dior Homme is something to look into with size of 60 or more.
  3. For best fit avoid oversized square or round sunglasses, especially in acetate. With sunglasses, it’s not size, it’s the fit on the nose that matters the most. If she or he has high cheek bones or very shallow nose bridge (aka Asian), sunglasses may rest on the cheeks making them uncomfortable. Any metal sunglasses with nose pads will be very easy to fit by narrowing or widening the nose pads to bring sunglasses up or down on the face. Acetate sunglasses are safe when they are narrower in width, made in traditional moderate rectangular or oval shape.
