Show some love for the planet this Valentine's Day

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, the season of love is upon us.

Are you stuck for what to get a loved one? Or uninspired by Valentine's Day novelty gifts? Perhaps you feel empowered and want to celebrate yourself this Valentine’s Day?

Whatever your plans, Retrospecced has got you covered...

Every year, when February comes around, people flock to the shops and fill up their baskets with chocolates, toys, balloons and hundreds of other mass produced, plastic-wrapped and unsustainable Valentine’s Day gifts. The waste produced by cheap, short-lived novelties is no joke and it is clear that - more and more - people are striving to find an alternative.

So why not change it up this year and celebrate a sustainable Valentine’s Day by showing some love for the planet. Ditch those chocolates and teddies, and choose upcycled glasses!

With our gift cards, you can make it a Valentine’s Day to remember and give the one you love the chance to find a beautiful, vintage pair of frames - with the lenses they want! Whether they opt for sunnies or old time reading glasses, spectacles for driving or funky frames to add some excitement to their wardrobe, they will be left with rose-tinted vision...

What's more, they can try on as many pairs as they like with our Home Trial Scheme! Order your loved one a range of unique, quirky and sustainable frames straight to their doorstep and have them choose their favourites. You can then post the frames back to us and we can fit their chosen glasses with the lenses they want!

A beautiful and sustainable Valentine's Day gift that they will remember forever ... sounds pretty good to me!

As if that wasn’t enough, you could also make this Valentine’s Day about yourself! There’s lots of talk going on about self-love and validation so why not buy yourself a pair of gorgeous - and ethical! - spectacles to leave you seeing - and feeling! - good this February.

It is the perfect opportunity to buy yourself something special and what could be better than celebrating the international day of love by looking after your sight (and buying an eye test and pair of glasses for someone who needs it!)

We’ve got a huge range of glasses to choose from and - if you’re particularly in the mood to honour old Saint Val - we’ve got frames in reds, purples and pinks that are just the thing!

For a £5 discount voucher use LOVE5 at checkout – valid until the end of February 2021.

Whether you’re honoring yourself or a loved one this Valentine’s Day, make it one to remember by loving sustainably, helping the planet out and shopping with Retrospecced!
