2. Warby Parker

An extra pair of glasses may not seem like the most luxurious gift to give, but having an extra pair of glasses or prescription sunglasses is a lifesaver when it comes to traveling.

So many times I’ve heard horror stories of people leaving their glasses in gift shops, at home, or just somewhere silly and had to make due because they didn’t have an extra pair.

I always have two pairs of glasses, one I leave at home and one that travels with me. That way, if I do lose my glasses, at least I know I have a backup pair at home.

I love Warby Parker Glasses so much that I tried them on at home and bought a couple of pairs!
