Why socks are not just for Christmas

Why socks are not just for Christmas

Posted by Team NZNC on 29th Mar 2022

We are the soxperts of New Zealand so whilst we may be slightly biased - we really do think socks are great!

Socks are a wonderful gift for our loved ones, regardless of the bad reputation they’ve attracted over the years.

But what makes socks such a great gift and why do we advocate buying socks as presents?

 

Firstly, have a chuckle...

I’ve been getting into selling socks recently

You know, the ones on Wool Street

Now let’s jump in and look at all the reasons why socks are not just for Christmas.

Why we love socks

We are the largest sock shop in New Zealand - work socks, dress socks, children’s socks, boot socks, health socks, sports socks - we really are the soxsperts!

We stock a wide range of socks made primarily from natural fibres such as merino wool and possum fur, which breathe and manage moisture well, apart from being warm and comfortable. These amazing materials come into their own in the tough conditions often found in the depths of a hard-working Kiwi boot!

Socks give us an amazing opportunity to showcase the natural fibres we can source in New Zealand. Each and every one with their unique properties which mean that we have a large array of choices for your lifestyle of choice.

Whether you’re a business person, a hiker, a farmer or a school teach with a passion for comedy socks - we have something for you!

 

Socks are practical

No one likes junk.

There is nothing worse than getting something as a gift that is just going to end up in the back of a junk drawer somewhere.

Alcohol as a gift is easy because it’s relaxation in a bottle but once it’s gone, it’s gone. Good socks keep on giving.

They are part of our daily lives, they keep us comfortable and they protect our feet.

 

Think about the health benefits

We have 250,000 sweat glands on our feet. We were designed like this for a reason but we need our feet to be healthy too.

Which means we don’t want our feet to become a party destination for bacteria because of the damp soggy skin.

Socks made from natural fibres such as merino wool or possum fibre will shift the moisture away from the feet keeping them nice, dry and germ free.

When you’re giving a gift you want to give something that shows appreciation. If you have a loved one who is on their feet all day or out working the land what could be better than socks that keep their feet fresh?

 

For work boots

For novelty

For cosy feet

Socks are thoughtful

Gifts are tokens of gratitude for someone’s role in our lives. They’re a ‘thinking of you’ when someone is having a tough time or a ‘the world is better with you in it’ on a birthday.

Socks that are going to be durable, soft and moisture wicking are giving more than a standard pair of socks, it’s giving the gift of consideration.

The quality of natural fibre socks wins over any synthetic socks because they work with your feet and for your feet.

If you really want someone to feel appreciated then you buy them a fantastic pair of socks.

 

Socks bring joy

Humour is everything.

We all need an injection of it in our lives. There are so many office workers who are restricted to dull suits but what's to say their socks can’t have a sense of fun?

We have a brilliant range of pictorial socks that will brighten up any suit. We guarantee a smile from everyone who sneaks a peak of brightly coloured footwear!

Novelty socks aren’t tied to Christmas so why is fun sock buying?

We know a thing or two about happy socks, you can read more about why they’re so important here.

 

Quality over quantity

The rule we support and encourage you to follow is to have one pair of socks...

  • On your feet
  • In the wash
  • Drying
  • In the drawer ready to wear the next day

 

That’s four pairs of good quality socks. That’s all you need when you invest in a pair of socks from New Zealand Natural Clothing.

If the socks you’re buying for someone are cheap novelty socks then not only will they make their feet sweat they also won’t last as long as natural fibre socks.

It’s a much better idea to really consider the benefits of quality socks for the recipient. Buy one pair of socks that will exceed expectations over a bundle of socks that will wear through in a few months.

We’re always here to help you find the best gift all times of year.

Christmas is a great excuse to spoil your loved ones with the best socks out there but it isn’t the only time of year to do it.

We’re on our feet all year and our feet need tender loving care every day!
