how the sock fairies pick out mystery socks

One of the many fun things we like to do here at The Sock Drawer involves a bit of mystery. It’s our Mystery Socks! Ordering a pair of Mystery Socks means one of the sock fairies gets to pick out a style just for you. You get all the thrills — as well as a big discount — and none of the stress! These cool novelty socks are ideal for those times when you’re stumped as to what style someone might like. Which can happen, when you offer as many crazy sock styles as we do! Just an FYI, Mystery Socks are also a fabulous way to bump up your order if you’re *thisclose* to free shipping!

Mystery Socks are available for both men and women, and this holiday season they have been some of our best sellers. We’re not sure why but the men’s Mystery Socks have been just a bit more popular. Are guys just harder to buy for? Kind of hard to believe with our amazing selection of men’s socks, but you never know!

Luckily for every sock lover, we have a ton of Mystery Socks for our sock fairies to choose from. But where do all those mystery socks come from? We’re so glad you asked!

Sometimes, mystery socks are moved over from our regular inventory. As you know, we don’t sell any duds here, but occasionally we find there are styles that the sock fairies adore, but don’t really sell all that well. Into the mystery bin some of them go! For the most part, though, we are able to buy closeouts and discontinued styles from our vendors specifically for use in the Mystery Sock bins.

And yes, we do have mystery sock bins. Lots of them!
