Christmas Sock Gift Ideas: Gifting and Wrapping the Perfect Knickknack in the Perfect Pair

Ahhh, ‘tis the season for stocking up on Christmas socks and spreading the holiday cheer! It’s our favorite time of year here at Goodly since we are in the happiness business, after all. Even though most of us probably haven’t studied the economics of gift giving with kids, it doesn’t take a scholar to know that spending increases around the holiday season, especially for households with children.

One of our favorite sock gift ideas for the holidays involves gifting and wrapping the perfect knickknack in the perfect pair of socks. It’s a fun and super affordable way to incorporate two (or more!) gifts in one while limiting packaging waste, too. If you’re looking for some inspiration for how to pair Christmas socks and cute tchotchkes, you’re absolutely in the right place. Read on!

stuff a festive style with a ton of very merry holiday treats and treasures.

There’s no better time than the holiday season to go all out with festivity! If you have more than a few people to give gifts to over the holidays, or even an entire team at work, this is a really great option for gifting in bulk that won’t completely break the bank. Stock up on some fun and festive pairs of Christmas socks, then stuff each with little treats like candy canes, fake “coal,” colorful hair ties (or bow ties), a tin of peppermint scented body butter or a couple packs of hot cocoa. 

go the ultra practical route by filling a pair of colorful socks with household essentials.

If you have family members who are off at college or living on their own for the first time, their minds are probably blown by how quickly expenses add up. While they’d never tell it to your face, they’d probably most appreciate it if you help them stock up on the things that used to magically appear for them when they lived in their parents’ homes. Fill a fun pair of Christmas socks with essentials like bar soap, toothpaste, batteries, a mini sewing kit and a flashlight so they can use their own money on the fun stuff instead.

your vino-loving friends will love a little gift pairing that helps them “wine down” in style and comfort.

Those who love to sip a glass of vino every now and again will likely appreciate a gift that includes fun little ways for them to enjoy their guiltiest pleasure. Stuff a fun and thematic pair of socks like this Dreaming of a Wine Christmas style with fabric coasters, a set of wine charms and some chocolate pairings. You could throw in a few wine-by-the-glass bevies or just gift a full bottle on the side!

the “jingle” ladies in your life will get a kick out of a silly pair of socks with a sense of humor.

Proud single gals will love this fun style, as will bridesmaids for a holiday-themed bachelorette party! Some jingle bell earrings and a cute holiday ornament make adorable additions to these giftable Christmas socks.

those who celebrate Hanukkah will love a pair of fun socks stocked with all the good stuff.

Don’t forget about the magic of Hanukkah for your Jewish loved ones! It’s especially important to be mindful of budget when getting cute and colorful trinkets for all eight nights, because things can add up pretty darn quick. Fill pairs of Hanukkah socks with small but still thoughtful treasures like gilt, tiny dreidels, little blue earrings or even some essential oils.

build a little spa gift set with all the essentials for a perfect night of R&R.

One thoughtful way to offer some soothing relief during the holidays is with a cute combo of Christmas socks and other relaxing gifts like essential oils, a small lavender candle, a cooling eye mask and some chocolate.

Happy Holidays, Happy Feet

Take it from us: A cute couple of knickknacks wrapped up in a festive pair of Christmas socks is a really sweet way to inspire some smiles this holiday season. Since 2020 surely hasn’t been for the faint of heart, it’s especially nice to be able to show the people we care about just how much they mean to us with a thoughtful, yet affordable, gift this year.
