Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to show your loved ones how much they mean to you. Health should be a priority throughout the year, but some of us aren’t great at putting our health first. That’s why it’s always great to have someone to look out for us. This year, show your love for your special someone and say ‘eye care’ with a practical present designed to maintain their eye health.
Create an at-home spa

The gift of relaxation shouldn’t be underestimated. Self-care is a way to wind down and give yourself some space to breathe and be calm. Give your partner, friend, or family member a little spa hamper to remind them that taking time out for themselves is important.
You could create a thoughtful hamper with sheet masks, a scented candle, some chocolates, and a heated eye mask. Using a cold or hot eye compress can soothe tired and irritated eyes. Using the mask hot can help minimise symptoms of dry eye and blepharitis.
Protect their eyes from digital screens
In our fast-paced digital age, it seems like everyone spends too much time in front of digital screens, whether that be their mobile phones or their work laptops. We’re all being exposed to lots of blue light, which can be helpful during the day because it helps us to stay awake. However, in the evenings, too much blue light can stop us from sleeping well, which is why it’s best to limit our exposure just before bed.
Gift your special someone a pair of blue light glasses to keep their eyes protected from blue light. Wearing these glasses can help limit light exposure in the evenings, which in turn can help you to sleep better. A brilliant dual-purpose accessory that they can use both in the office and at home. Not only are blue light glasses helpful for sleep, but they can also be a fashionable part of your look, as they are available in many different silhouettes and colourways.
Protect their eyes from UV rays
Sunglasses are essential all-year round. Even when the sun is hiding behind cloud, you should be wearing sunglasses because UV rays can penetrate cloud. Wearing sunglasses doesn’t just limit glare from the sun, they also help to protect your eyes from damage, as long-term exposure to UV rays can lead to conditions such as cataracts.
Therefore, gifting a stylish pair of sunglasses is the ideal practical accessory. Sunglasses are available affordably online; you can choose from many designer brands in a huge variety of shapes and colours. When you order online, you also have the convenience of the product being delivered straight to your door. If you aren’t sure what style they like most, try to take them browsing in a shop (or online) to see what they gravitate towards.
If they are already in love with their current pair of glasses, why not buy them a second pair with transitions lenses? This will give them a backup pair of glasses (always useful) whilst giving them sun/glare protection when they are in sunny conditions.
Buy their essentials
If they’re the person who’s always running out of contact lenses, why not make sure they are stocked up on their preferred brand? You could even get them coloured prescription contact lenses as a fun alternative to their usual. Nothing shows your appreciation more than making sure someone is looked after.
If they don’t wear lenses, you could always update their look with a brand-new pair of prescription glasses. Glasses are an expense that many of us hate to spare, so getting them as a gift would be warmly received. As an important accessory that people tend to wear every day, they’ll be reminded of you every time they go to put their glasses on.
Book a trip
Especially if it’s a milestone anniversary approaching, a trip away is always a good idea as a Valentine’s gift for someone. Make sure to pack their essentials, such as eye drops and/or eye lid wipes, as these items are things we tend to neglect buying for ourselves but always come in handy when we have them. Even going so far as to write them a packing list before the departure date can go a long way towards showing someone that you care.
Give the gift of eye care
Valentine’s Day is more than just a commercial holiday, it’s a great time to show someone how much they mean to you. You don’t have to spend a lot to show your appreciation and love for someone, it’s really is the thought that counts. Practical gifts are some of the most used and therefore, some of the most appreciated.
