Each year, deciding what to get as part of the holiday gift package is a challenging task for office managers and budget departments. The holiday planning committee has likely already begun meeting as part of the Christmas in July initiative to ensure that things aren’t rushed as they have been in years past. Customized socks won’t be the only gift you give as a company gift this year, but they make a great addition that will get some festive chuckles and plenty of wear. While you’re planning gift certificates or goodies or end-of-year bonuses, be sure to include customized socks to add a personal touch.
Faces on Faces
Ordering customized socks with your boss’s face on them is a sure-fire way to win the hearts of employees company-wide. This gift is both hilarious and thoughtful. Consider putting the fearless leader in a Santa hat or riding a reindeer for best results. It may even make it more hilarious if your boss doesn’t know their face will be plastered on the ankles of employees all over the office, and you can orchestrate a day for everyone to match. Be sure to order extra for those colleagues who might forget or for new employees later down the road.
Naughty and Nice
This holiday sock idea requires a little more elbow grease, but it’s a good one. Since many customized socks are made in matching pairs, you could order an equal number of socks emblazoned with the word naughty and then another equal number of pairs with the word nice. You will have to split and then pair them back with their new counterpart, but this is a gift that transcends office wear into home and streetwear. You could catch naughty and nice socks out on the dance floor or in the middle of a presentation on new tech. Unlike other office socks that are contextually dependent on office humor, these naughty and nice socks are just festive and fun for the season.
Unofficial Mascot
The unofficial mascot of your office is the most irritating and least practical everyday experience that your office puts up with regularly. This experience can range from your food delivery service leaving the lunch orders downstairs at the main office without calling up to the printer never working to the staplers continually disappearing or the wastebaskets overflowing on Monday mornings. Customized socks can bond employees together over one shared official irritant that can be redefined in a positive light as an unofficial mascot.
Company Logo
Creating customized socks with your company’s logo on them is a safe bet for the most formal of offices to the relaxed and laid-back open-air workspaces. Not only are custom socks with the company logo on them a practical gift, but they are also great advertising. Cute bundled socks with your company logo give you something to attach holiday cards onto so the transaction doesn’t feel so impersonal. Company socks can also be ordered in bulk and used for business contacts and colleagues past the holiday season.
Socks Rock can help you create customized socks that will make the best holiday gifts for your company. Be sure to ask about minimums and bulk pricing for your whole office order.
