Top 10 Gifts for the Sock Lover in Your Life
Top 10 Gifts for the Sock Lover in Your Life
To say that socks are the most important piece of clothing on the planet is a gross understatement— they’re the first thing you put on in the morning and the last thing you take off at night, and they can say everything about your personality just by looking at them. If you have someone in your life who loves socks as much as you do, here are ten unique gifts to show them how much you care.
1) Philosockphy
Have you ever struggled to find that perfect gift? Sure, socks are pretty common. But, who says they have to be boring? A new company named Philosockphy is out to prove that a pair of socks doesn’t need to be only about comfort. Instead, it can be something that makes you think! Whether you know someone with a sense of humor or are searching for a thoughtful but quirky gift idea, Philosockphy is worth checking out! The site currently offers 12 different designs and your purchase includes free shipping to anywhere in the United States. Each month (or quarter) you will receive three pairs of socks with fun names like The Curious or The Hypocrite. They even offer a sock of the month membership if you want more variety!
2) Kevin and Ikes Socks
These socks are a cult favorite. A subscription to these socks from Kevin and Ikes costs $12/month, plus shipping. These socks come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and fun patterns—all handmade. The company that makes them is located in Kansas City, KS; it’s worth noting because not only are you getting a sock-of-the-month gift but also supporting small business! If you subscribe to more than one sock of the month service (e.g., you really want your friend or family member to have a pair for each day of the week), check out Howl at Christmas or Stance Socks: Both brands sell matching subscription boxes and men’s and women’s socks separately.
3) Bombas
An oldie but a goodie, Bombas socks are famous for their great fit, comfortable design and commitment to people and planet. Bombas will donate a pair of socks to someone in need with every purchase—and that alone makes these socks worth gifting (and wearing). A gift certificate lets your recipient choose from dozens of designs, styles and colors. And if you’re looking to give someone an on-going sock subscription, check out Darn Good Socks (which offers sock subscriptions as well as underwear subscriptions), Knitpicks or Shoe Biz.
4) i love to dream socks
i love to dream is a sock subscription service that takes care of all your sock needs. They have socks, slippers, compression socks and tons more. I love their Philosockphy with each pair of socks is meant to spark inspiration in others. Each pair comes wrapped up like a gift and has words written on them about famous people who lived their life by dreaming (like Nelson Mandela) or different quotes about dreaming (like Abraham Lincoln). If you’re looking for a gift that doesn’t necessarily fit into any other category or your loved one already has everything they need, i love to dream makes a great go-to option! $23/month – start as low as 1 month!
5) Zutano Baby
Did you know that Zutano has socks of all different kinds? From crew socks to argyle socks, to slip-on casual socks. Did you also know that Zutano offers their customers free exchanges and free shipping on their sock subscriptions? It is a great way to get new socks for your little one every month with no strings attached. With free exchanges and free shipping, who wouldn’t love a subscription like that? Maybe you should sign up for a subscription yourself! There are so many sock options; just think about it...you could start your own sock of the month club! Why not?! You could pick out all sorts of fun things from Zutano Baby.
6) The Stance Box
The Stance sock subscription is a unique, surprise and delight gift box. Every month, subscribers receive a mix of fun socks that are selected by well-known artists, designers and celebrities. Subscribers can choose from over 30 different Socks of The Month clubs to suit their tastes and preferences. For example, our subscription is available as either a U.S.-only or Worldwide version (international shipping included!). Check out their Sockscribe service – where you can buy personalized socks with your own picture or any text you want! If those aren't quite what you're looking for, check out more unique sock gifts here .
7) Irregular Choice Shoes
If you know someone who loves Irregular Choice shoes, they’ll definitely love a pair of heels or wedges. They have a little bit of everything, but I suggest checking out their surreal collection, which includes colorful and creative designs with interesting patterns. If you know someone who wears flats most of the time, they may appreciate a fun pair of Irregular Choice flats. And even if you don’t know anyone who likes shoes (or socks) enough to justify purchasing a pair on their behalf, there are lots of other gift ideas available from these quirky Brits that might be more your style! For example: mugs, posters and jewelry (and oh so much more).
8) Happy Socks Club
If your sock fanatic has a hard time dressing when they aren’t wearing bright and patterned socks, then Happy Socks might be just what you need. Every month members receive a new pair of men's or women's socks (along with some extra special treats). Most of their designs are really cool and funky—you can get everything from polka dot to leopard print. If they have trouble deciding what to wear, they now won't have to since you can surprise them every month with a new style!
9) San Diego Hat Company
For an especially personal gift, you can’t go wrong with something from San Diego Hat Company. The store has been making custom hats and caps since 1927 and its customers include U.S. presidents and local San Diegans alike. Customize one of its existing designs or let a designer help you create your own signature hat; prices start at $350.
10) Undrest
It’s no secret that socks can be a hard gift to shop for. Even if you get them some cool new pairs, they may not want more of what they already have—especially if those socks aren’t getting worn. This is why we love Undrest socks: They make it easy to gift something someone will actually wear!
