For That Special Someone: Even lovebirds will adore a new pair of sunglasses this holiday season. Outfit bae in perfectly retro round shades from Modo or try out a modified wayfarer silhouette from Smith Optics. Can’t get enough of those lovey-dovey carols? Play them for months to come on a sleek Bluetooth-equipped speaker. Is your plus-one a foodie? You can’t go wrong with a food and drink pairing book. However, nothing can beat a pair of Clubmaster-inspired glasses from Seventy one, or urban-chic specs from Kingsley Rowe.

For a Sibling: Treat your bro or sis to a color-filled holiday. Green tortoise wayfarer-inspired shades from SPY are like nothing they have ever seen before, not to mention two-toned mint and teal specs from Face à Face. A cute colorful framed print will look perfect on their wall, while a new brightly hued notebook will jazz up their desk. If sissy prefers a hint of glam, give her dramatic cat-eye sunnies with gem embellishments from kate spade new york. Or gift them a fun orange and gray pair of glasses from Prada, and you’ll surely get on their good side.

For Mom: Every mom deserves a touch of glam, especially around the holiday season when twinkly lights will glimmer perfectly off of golden Vera Wang sunnies. Pamper her with holiday edition lipstick and a cozy sweater to curl up in by the fire. Add a touch more pizazz with Swarovski specs in an untraditional deep teal shade, or opt for two-toned black and gold specs from Genevieve Boutique. If mama prefers understated allure, give her sleek ruby red shades from Nine West, and you’ll be her favorite for a while.

For Dad: What could be a better gift than outfitting pops in the same frames Jude Law wore in the seasonal movie favorite “The Holiday?” These limited edition frames from Face à Face are back for a short time to turn every Jon into Jude. Pair them with a cozy plaid scarf for the full British effect. Aviator-inspired shades from Randolph Engineering are perfect for the dad in charge, while a more relaxed vibe can be complemented by Shwood sunnies featuring a wood plaque on the temples. A snazzy leather watch will put a smile on his face, and sharp black and white frames from Randy Jackson Eyewear will truly make this a holly jolly time of the year.
