Brookstone lighted reading glasses make travel easier

December 2, 2009

Do you have a book worm on your gift list? How about a frequent flyer? The Smarter Travel List suggests slipping a pair of eyeglasses with built in lights under the Christmas tree to make dark flights, camping trips or car rides more fun for an avid reader. Brookstone makes a sturdy pair that the website recommends.

Other gift items that made the list for weary travelers included the
Lights Out Sleep mask, which is a form-fitting blindfold that will block out even peripheral light. The mask also allows enough room for eyes to move, which will encourage sleeping flyers to fall into rapid eye movement sleep which is part of a deep and restful sleep cycle.

More eye-helping gifts could include a stylish pair of over-the-counter reading glasses for that friend who can never find their own or a fancy eyeglasses case. You could also opt to have a pair of prescription sunglasses made for a bespectacled friend or family member who is always squinting in the sunlight.

Of course, Christmas might also be the perfect time to bestow some much-coveted contacts on a teenager in your family.
