Giving socks
without the cliché.
A useful gift, provided you choose it well: brands, duration, size and presentation.
Yes, socks make a good gift for a man, as long as they don't look like a last-minute stopgap. What makes the difference: brands he knows, the right size and a form that lasts longer than a moment, such as several pairs or one pair every month. If you don't know his shoe size, a gift voucher where he chooses it himself avoids any mistake.
At a glance
Cliché or real pleasure?
The same gift can raise a smile or bring real pleasure. It all comes down to the details.
| What feels like a cliché | What brings real pleasure |
|---|---|
| An unbranded supermarket multipack | Brands he knows |
| A single pair, quickly forgotten | Several pairs, or one pair every month |
| A size picked at random | A size he chooses himself |
| Novelty patterns | Colours that are easy to wear every day |
| Hastily wrapped | A nice box and a personal note |
Step by step
Getting the gift right
Five points that turn socks into a real gift.
- Choose well-known brands rather than an unbranded multipack
- Think long term: several pairs, or a delivery every month
- Check the size, or let the recipient choose it
- Go for understated colours if he mostly dresses classically
- Take care with the presentation: a box, a card and a few words
Without knowing his size
Finding his size without asking
Look in his shoes: the size is often shown on the tongue or the insole. Otherwise, discreetly ask someone close to him. Socks are sold in size ranges, 39-42 and 43-46, and a man who wears a 42 or 43 can fall into either range depending on the brand. The safest option is a gift where he enters his size himself, such as the UNDY gift voucher.
