Sock gifts for people who don't do boring
Socks are the gift everyone jokes about and everyone actually uses. The trick is getting a pair they'd never buy themselves. Every design here is one of ours: tattoo flash, skulls, gym jokes and the odd sock you probably shouldn't wear to a job interview. Most pairs are £11.99, and Buy 3 Get 1 Free runs on single pairs, so four presents cost about £36.
Secret Santa socks
Office budget of a tenner or fifteen quid? One pair fits, and it'll be the gift people talk about by lunchtime. Coffee Poo Snatch is our best-selling gym joke, Duck Off is rude without saying it, and Middle Finger says exactly what it means. For the full cheeky lineup, see our rude socks.
Stocking fillers
A pair of loud socks poking out of a stocking beats another satsuma. Buy three and the fourth is free, so one order covers the whole family, and it gets you past £40 for free UK delivery. More ideas in our stocking filler guide.
For the gym obsessive
They'll be training on Boxing Day, so give them something to train in. F Burpees, F*** Box Jumps and Death Grip are for the CrossFit and Hyrox crowd. Old Boy Lifter and Old Girl Lifter are for the seasoned lifter who still out-trains everyone half their age. The Training Days box puts three gym pairs in one gift. See all our gym socks.
For the tattoo lover
Real tattoo flash, some of it drawn by real tattoo artists. The Painless Perrin Box is three designs by tattoo artist Ben "Painless" Perrin, and Tigerbite is our collab with John Farrow. Sacred and Tattoo Studio are old-school flash at full volume, and Sinner is the pair Sunday school warned you about. More in our tattoo socks.
For the one with a dark streak
Goths, metalheads and horror fans can skip the tinsel. The Widow is our best-selling skull art, Rockstar is a skeleton shredding in a graveyard, and the Skullduggery Box puts three of our most detailed skeleton designs in one box. The rest live in Deathly Delights.
For her
Our S/M size fits UK 3–7, so every design here works for her too. Bloom and Flower Power go floral, Old Girl Lifter is for the one who deadlifts more than you, and The Widow is for anyone who likes their roses with a skull.

Sock Gifts: FAQs
Are socks a good Christmas gift?
Yes, if they're socks they wouldn't buy themselves. Plain black multipacks get forgotten. A pair with tattoo flash, a skull or a gym joke gets worn and talked about.
What size socks should I buy as a gift?
S/M fits UK 3-7 (EU 36-40) and M/L fits UK 8-12 (EU 41-45). If you're not sure, most men take M/L and most women take S/M.
Do you have sock gifts under £15?
Yes. Most single pairs are £11.99, which makes them an easy Secret Santa or stocking filler.
Do you sell sock gift boxes?
Yes. Our box sets put three designs in a gift-ready box, including the Painless Perrin Box of tattoo-artist designs, the Skullduggery Box and the Training Days gym box.
Is there a multibuy offer?
Buy 3 Get 1 Free runs on single pairs, so four pairs cost the same as three. Orders over £40 also get free UK delivery.
Can I send socks straight to the person as a gift?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout and we'll post the socks directly to them. We ship from the UK to most countries.
What if they don't like them or they don't fit?
See our Delivery & Returns page for how returns and exchanges work.
When should I order for Christmas?
As early in December as you can. Check our Christmas delivery dates page for the last posting days to the UK and abroad.
