63. livho Blue Light Blocking Glasses
This is another gift that definitely falls under the “practical” category, but is a great one at that. If your significant other is working from home, these are a must. Blue light is emitted from screens of all sizes and can cause eye strain, headaches, blurred vision and difficulty concentrating. These non-prescription lenses will help her avoid all of this and look super chic at the same time! They have ultra-lightweight and flexible frames built for durability, and the leopard print is super cute.
