simple + green

I’m really trying to do something different for my wife this Valentine’s Day. Number one: while I like to spoil her, it’s not in a traditional rose & candy way. I like to think of interesting gifts, and ones that she really wants or needs. Number two: I needed to do something quick.

This year, I have some spa time planned for her. And then I hit on it: she needs sunglasses. Not only that, I know what exact kind she wants. As luck would have it, I found a place to buy these sunglasses online: OpticsPlanet.

This company seems to have an incredible selection, especially of my favorite brand, Ray Ban. My wife had a pair that we bought just about a year ago that she lost a few weeks ago. I also noticed that they offer free shipping on most orders over $29.95. Adding this up makes the purchase look like a good one.

And I’m one of those people, my wife less so, that wears sunglasses year-round. I blame this on light-colored eyes, with a dose of light-sensitivity. So, sunglasses are one of the few things I will truly spend money on without question.

During the course of finding the right pair for my wife, I also found this pair of Ray Bans for myself, which I really like.

I don’t necessarily need a new pair of sunglasses, but finding a place like this with good deals, simple choices and (price-permitting) free shipping makes it easy to start justifying the purchase.
