Socks…No Longer the "Fruitcake" of Christmas Gifts

Was there anything more disappointing as a kid than ripping open a Christmas or birthday package only to find a package of sweat socks, or tube socks?  Yes, everyone needs socks...but it's was little like getting a toaster as a wedding gift, a fruitcake from a neighbor, or long underwear from a grandparent.

While fruitcakes and toasters remain a little "blah" as gifts, socks are HOT! One of my favorite new gifts to give (and get) are fuzzy socks, slippers, funky, colorful and unique socks!

Here is my current favorite pair from Ozone Socks.

They are so stinkin-cute that I actually roll up my jeans just to show them off.

Check out some of our favorite funky, fresh and fun socks from the site.  Wouldn't these make perfect stocking stuffers (pardon the pun) or teacher gifts?  Why not use a cute pair of long socks as a "ribbon" by tying them around a gift?
