Socks Are For Life, Not Just For Christmas

For a change this year, why not avoid that last-minute panicked Christmas shop to find stocking-fillers for family and friends? We've all been there - the festive mood descends like a red mist, and before you know it you have a shopping bag full of unwanted presents and a sinful credit card statement that gets you onto Santa's naughty list.
And look what you've bought. Socks. Terrible, garish, oh-so-funny Christmas socks that will only be worn once - out of sufferance - before being flung to the back of the wardrobe. Not only have you wasted your money, but you immediately realise that dreadful Christmas socks are a crime against the season.
With the help of Socked.co.uk, you can avoid completely wrecking Christmas Day for everybody with the thoughtful, timeless gift of high quality socks for your loved ones.
Socked.co.uk aims to change the tradition of buying bad Christmas socks forever, with a sockscription service that starts from just £19 a year
Mark Hall, Gentleman Creation Officer and Managing Director of socked.co.uk said: "Buying a pair of loud garish Christmas socks might make you feel good for a moment or two and relieve you of having to think of a more suitable present, but that's where the fun ends.
"Most Christmas socks are never worn, and only a small percentage are worn on the actual day, rendering the present useless and a complete waste of money.
"By buying a loved one a sock subscription, not only will they receive socks all year round, but they will actually be worn and appreciated, at a price not much more than a single pair of horrible Christmas socks!"
Mark says: "We all love putting on a pair a new socks, so why not make it a regular occurrence? Socks shouldn't be just for Christmas."
