If you’re looking for a gift idea that is fun, personal, and easy on the wallet, check out SockGuy. Trust me. I’m not sure when it happened, but somehow, I became a sock snob. I’ve been known to point out that unless you have a motorcycle with a lot of chrome to polish, there is no need to own white cotton socks. Sure, they’re great for polishing furniture too. But don’t wear them. Your feet deserve better.
SockGuy Java SockTen pairs of cotton socks for six bucks is not what your feet want! And not what you would give as a gift. Cotton soaks up water, and holds it. It mats down, so those thick comfy socks you put on in the morning are now damp, soggy, and thin. They stink in more ways than one. So here is one of my all time favorite gifts, for giving or getting – technical socks. All the socks shown here from SockGuy use a mix of 75% Ultra-wicking Micro Denier Acrylic, 15% Nylon, and 10% Spandex. That’s 100% sock! Ok, to clarify, that’s a sock that is soft to your skin, durable against your shoe, and a little bit stretchy, since we all have our own unique foot shapes.
SockGuy Sriracha SockSockGuy socks fit well. They feel good. Your feet will be happy. What more could you want? Check out the designs. If you can make it all the way through this article and not find one sock that makes you smile, then go visit the SockGuy website, and look through the rest of their designs. If you still don’t find a pair that you would want for yourself, or to give as a gift, there’s a comment box below where you can share why you were not impressed. But it would probably be more fun to tell us your favorite style. Maybe we’ll try to talk the folks at SockGuy into giving away a few pairs.
An article about socks can only hold your attention for so long. That’s why there are photos of bright socks with funny and cool graphics. Socks with beer. Socks with coffee. Socks with bacon and eggs. Even socks with the famous Sriracha rooster. Instead of making you read more, I’ll just point out that there are a few more pics below, or you can follow this link to the SockGuy website, and see them all. Because dad doesn’t want another coffee mug or tie (does anyone even wear them any more?), and your college grad doesn’t need another pen and pencil set.
