The lights are on in town now so we’re officially able to use the ‘Christmas’ word. Although it is still November, our glasses have lead times so if you’re wanting to treat yourself before Christmas, or give the gift of colour with EnChroma™, now’s the time to swing into action!
Something not quite ‘right’ with your vision?
Book an appointment for an eye examination! We’ve limited slots available most days at the moment – and if you do need any changes made to your prescription, we’ll have plenty of time to get your new glasses ordered and ready for you before Christmas. So you can read those cracker jokes and tiny print instructions.
Fancy new frames?
We’ve plenty of frames in store at the moment – including some brilliantly seasonal Kirk & Kirk ones and our latest delivery of the EYES on St Albans collection. You don’t have to have an eye examination with us – just bring in your prescription and Jez will help you find the frames you never knew were absolutely essential!
Giving the gift of colour
Whilst it can somewhat spoil the ‘on the day’ surprise, we’ve had lots of families come in during the run up to Christmas in previous years to try out the EnChroma™ glasses for colour vision deficiency.
The gift of being able to see Christmas in the colours never seen before is, we think, one of the best presents out there. To ensure that the glasses are ready for the big day, book an EnChroma appointment with Jez in the next week or so.
If you’d rather give vouchers so they can come in after Christmas, we’re more than happy to do that too. Just pop in or give us a call to sort it out.
Need a stocking filler?
We’ve still got plenty of the Secrid wallets in stock – in a wide range of colours. As we’ve spoken about before, these little beauties come from the manufacturers in the Netherlands and are, in our humble opinion, brilliant. With vegan options too, plus their new coin-add on, these are a great gift for, well, anyone who wants a brilliantly engineered, stylish wallet that protects their cards.
Christmas Cards
We’re delighted to be stocking the St Albans Action for Homeless Christmas cards this year – helping raise money to support the work of this local charity trying to help end the cycle of homelessness.
Each pack is £6 and contains 12 cards designed by local artists and residents – all profits will go to helping our homeless friends in the best ways we can.
If you can’t pop into the shop, you can also get these at the Action for Homeless Toy sale on Saturday 25th November from 2-4pm at the London Road Club and whilst they’re carol singing at the Clocktower on the 9th December from 11-3pm.
Prosecco Shopping
Our friends next door at Fade to Black are hosting a Christmas shopping evening with prosecco on Wednesday 6th December from 6.30-9.30pm. Lots of local suppliers will be there so do come down and support our side of the Quadrant.
