When your recipients receive a Shades VIP Box, it includes a branded redemption card with a unique code. They visit our online store, enter their code, and choose from the designer sunglasses included in their tier — Red, Gold, or Black. Their selection ships directly to them, and virtual fitting experts are available to help find the right pair.
With our Perfect Pair Program, unlimited exchanges with free shipping are included so every VIP ends up with shades they truly love. Learn more on our VIP Gifting Boxes page.
Redemption codes remain active for life from the date of issuance — plenty of flexibility so your VIPs never feel rushed. Whether they redeem right away or take their time, the experience is the same: easy online selection, expert support, and free shipping to their door.
Each tier unlocks a different level of access to our designer sunglass collection:

Our setup is flexible and scales to your venue. A standard activation typically requires a footprint of about 10x10 feet, though we can work within tighter spaces or expand for larger events with multiple display stations.
We coordinate with your venue and event team in advance to make setup completely seamless. Learn more about how our on-site experience works.
Absolutely. We offer fully branded display setups, custom signage, branded packaging, co-branded cleaning cloths, and personalized note cards.

Premium sunglasses have become one of the most coveted gifts for corporate incentive trips and President's Club programs.
