It's Nice, but not $35 Nice
First, I think this would make an excellent gift for anyone on your list who sleeps. Research shows that even small amounts of light in a room while sleeping can trick your brain into unhealthy sleep patterns and restless nights. And with every electronic gizmo in the world these days emitting some kind of light, a "dark room" can end up being not that dark (I am talking to you Alexa-with-a-display). For that reason I sleep with an eye mask to make sure that all my peepers see is... nothing.<br /><br />As a gift the presentation of this silk eye mask is nice. It definitely comes through as a luxury gift in a fancy box.<br /><br />But I can't imagine spending $35 on this for myself. It's no softer than the polyester eye mask it is replacing.<br /><br />I did notice that my head size resulted in needing to extend the adjustable strap almost to its limit. I don't think my head is that large, really, so this may not fit a very large person.<br /><br />If you have money you don't need, I think you'll find this eye mask is an excellent way to lighten some of that load.
