With our extensive collection, you'll be sure to knock their socks off with your Christmas gift-giving this year.

Why do we give socks at Christmas?

Legend has it that St Nicholas of Myra, the inspiration for Father Christmas, performed a miracle that sparked our tradition of giving socks. A poor man’s daughters hung their socks above the fire to dry, and St Nicholas, passing by, threw three bags of coins through the window, landing them in the socks. In the morning, the family discovered the coins, and the tradition of hanging stockings was born. This love of stockings has inspired our love of giving socks as a gift, so whoever you’re buying for, men’s Christmas socks, women’s Christmas socks and novelty Christmas socks are a popular choice.

Are Christmas socks comfortable to wear?

One of the best things about giving socks at Christmas is the wide variety—whether you choose festive socks or cosy cotton socks, they’re always appreciated. A fluffy pair of Christmas socks adds warmth to Christmas morning, while extra-cosy slipper socks with non-slip grips offer comfort and durability for lounging in festive style.

How to wrap Christmas socks?

Socks make a versatile gift, and you can wrap them in many ways. Use festive wrapping paper and bows to make even simple Christmas socks stand out under the tree, or for a quick option, pop them in a gift bag with tissue paper. For something fancier, place them in a hamper with extra treats like chocolates, tea or a mug. Christmas socks are the perfect gift, so get creative and make them extra special this year!
