And last, but not least, in our unique gift guide for men (though we said to stay away from the traditional tie and sock gift ideas) we have to represent Sock Box where you can get him a funky sock subscription box and have him receive a special treat in the mail that contains a pack of beautiful, soft, bright and colourful socks every month!
