What is something that every mom, no matter her age, fitness level, state of pregnancy, or length of time as a mommy can fit into and will really appreciate? Not shoes, pregnant women often have feet that swell. Not clothes. The answer: sunglasses!
Sunglasses may just be the perfect gift, whether we're talking birthday, Christmas or even baby shower. They say: Here's something to help you feel glamourous. Here's something just for you. Here's something to feel pretty and cool. Here's something practical.
When shopping for sunglasses for someone else, think about their style but don't go too crazy. Opt for something practical and classic.
I've always loved sunglasses. Ever since I was a little girl, you could always find a photo of me sporting shades. My oldest daughter's already the same way. Yet it was only recently that I received a really good pair of sunglasses as a present. And let me tell you, as silly as it sounds, they make me feel special and cool when I wear them.
The ones I got: Oakley's new Breathless sunglasses (see photo). They come in several colors, all with a great case to keep them safe from being crushed in your purse or diaper bag. And they're really cool looking. These are sure to be a hit!
If you're looking for something cool but at a little more bargain price, check out the line by Optic Nerve. Two particularly cool pair: the Eyeque and Buddah Hibiscus.
