# Nasal UV Stands The Elephant Nose Eyeglass Holder is a Comical Prop to Rest Your Shades By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-09-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-nose-eyeglass-holder References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/56461936/elephant-nose-eyeglass-holder?ref=cat1_gallery_31) & [artakimbo](http://artakimbo.com/) The Elephant Nose Eyeglass Holder -- available for purchase through its Etsy for $35 -- is a humorous resting spot for tinted UV shields. The stand has a nice heft to it, so you do not need to worry about a gust of breeze coming in through an open window, blowing the stand over and ruining your favorite sunglasses. What I personally really like about the Elephant Nose Eyeglass Holder is that I get to imagine what an elephant would look like lounging out on the beach (in my head the elephant is wearing wearing board shorts and drinking a Mai Tai). The Elephant Nose Eyeglass Holder is an excellent gift idea for someone that you know that is little more quirky than most. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Humorous Eyeglass Holders:** Creating comical and unique designs for eyeglass holders can disrupt the traditional market and attract customers looking for a fun and functional accessory. - **Stable Eyeglass Stands:** Developing eyeglass stands with a nice heft that can withstand potential accidents or strong winds opens up opportunities to address customer concerns and provide a secure resting place for sunglasses. - **Novelty Gift Accessories:** Designing unconventional and quirky gift accessories like the Elephant Nose Eyeglass Holder can tap into the growing demand for unique and entertaining presents. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gift and Novelty:** The gift and novelty industry can explore the creation of more unusual and humorous eyeglass holders to cater to customers looking for distinctive and amusing accessories. - **Eyewear:** Eyewear companies can integrate stability features and unique designs into their stands to offer customers functional and visually appealing options that enhance the eyewear experience. - **Home Décor:** The home décor industry can expand its product offerings by incorporating whimsical eyeglass holders like the Elephant Nose Eyeglass Holder, attracting customers who appreciate playful and functional home accents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elephant Teething Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moyuum.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Eyewear Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-1.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Thin Miniature Continuity Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-card.md) - [Glasses Holding Loops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-the-wing.md) - [Digital Display Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-headphone-stand.md) - [Anti-Myopia Reading Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaverlab-farseer-e1.md) - [Tortoise-Saving Glasses Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/save-the-tortoise-collection.md) - [Individual Lens-Protecting Eyewear Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oqular-clip.md)
