Its that age old joke or socks for Christmas, the dullest gift. Nonsense! The Sock Shop UK have socks that are greatfully opened on Christmas morning.

Here are my top pairs for Dad, Mum and kids. First off, children's socks.

Circus print horse socks

Next, adult sized socks. These Heat Holder socks come with a TOG rating of 2.34 and they retain heat 7 times better than regular socks. Nice and cosy for under boots for winter walks, or even for bed. Of course I'm going to love them when they are stripy!
