The Christmas collection · 2026
Yes—with the wearer involved. Here is how to keep the gift thoughtful while getting the custom-order details right.
A prescription glasses Christmas gift works best when the recipient helps choose it. Unlike a scarf, a custom pair depends on the wearer’s prescription, measured PD, intended task and fit preferences. Keeping those details secret until the last moment can make the purchase harder than it needs to be.
Try giving an invitation: “Let’s choose your next pair together.” You can still wrap a note, plan a cozy afternoon and make the shopping feel special. The wearer gets a voice in something they will use often, and you keep the spirit of a personal Christmas present.
First, have a current glasses prescription rather than a contact lens prescription. Second, obtain the correct measured PD for the intended order and retain any right/left or near/distance labels. Third, compare the exact frame size with a pair that fits comfortably. Fourth, confirm which task the new glasses are meant for.
Do not fill in an unclear number to keep the surprise moving. Ask the prescribing office or seller for help when information is missing. Fast’s PD helper is a tool for working with measurements and a printable ruler; it does not replace a professional fitting or verify that a frame will fit.
Fast’s prescription glasses are custom-made. Customer-selected fit or style, a change of mind, and customer-entered prescription or PD mistakes are final sale under the published return policy. Published remedies for qualifying lab errors, wrong items, defects and shipping damage still apply.
That makes a “buy several and return the ones they dislike” gift strategy a poor match for this store. Read the current policy together before paying. If you are not ready to commit to the exact frame and order details, give the invitation first and place the order when the recipient is ready.
Put a small frame shortlist inside an envelope with red ribbon, or write the date of your planned shopping afternoon on a blank card. Avoid presenting a homemade certificate as a store-issued gift card; make clear that it is your own offer to pay or contribute.
Check current production and shipping guidance before ordering. An estimate is not a Christmas-arrival promise. If timing is tight, an honest note about choosing the pair together is more useful than an unsupported delivery claim. The gift can begin on Christmas even when the custom glasses arrive later.
