For the One Who Isn’t Afraid of a Little Color

Marcolin recently debuted the first ever GUESS JEANS Eyewear Collection, and it’s filled with fun, fresh styles that are sure to be a hit with the Y2K-obsessed crowd. From bright teal frames, to pink lenses, to the subtle GUESS JEANS star motif, these shades are the perfect pick for someone who loves to add a pop of color to their outfit.

For the Bird Watching Fanatic

It might be chilly out, but not all birds have flown south for the winter. And with a pair of ZEISS SFL binoculars (SmartFocus Lightweight), the birding enthusiast in your life will be able to spot their feathered friend up to 8x away. This user-friendly design promises an ergonomic fit on top of exclusive ZEISS coatings that ensure bright images and weather-resistant lenses.

For the Family Fashionista

The latest Ferragamo Eyewear Holiday style (SF333SR) from Marchon gives off major cool aunt energy. She shows up to the function in her holiday best, complete with sophisticated metal frames adorned with tasteful rhinestone embellishments.

For the One Running a Marathon in the New Year

It’s almost too hard to choose just one pair of evileye sunglasses to gift to your favorite runner this season. The trace pro frame is not only available in a variety of colors but also includes a multitude of other features built for athletes such as traction grip tips, tri-fit temples, a sweat bar, and a lens lock system designed for easy lens changing.

For the Tech Lover

What better gift for the tech-obsessed sibling than the latest innovation from EssilorLuxottica and Meta, the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. These glasses build upon the successful AI version and now include an integrated display that can preview messages, participate in video calls, and follow AI instructions.
