It’s that “gifts for dads & grads” time of year, and I tend to ignore indie finds for guys. And, what makes these glasses only for the boys? Not a thing!

I’ve seen this type of product on etsy before and loved them! They’re such a great way to get an original look and to be green (: I never thought of them for a Fathers Day gift or something, but it’s an excellent idea!
