The other day I was browsing Target, aka the one-hundred-dollar store, and remembered I needed socks as soon as I saw all of the cute knee-high socks. (Kind of like I remember I need M&M’s when I walk through the candy aisle, or teal sparkly flats when I walk through the shoe aisle, or any other thing I totally don’t need but decide I need the moment I see it. Especially at Target.) But with boot season in full swing, who doesn’t need more tall socks? They were so cute that I picked up a few extras to gift to some friends. I didn’t plan on posting about this, but when I packaged them up and made a fun tag to go on them, I figured I’d share them with you all, in case anyone could use a cute, inexpensive little gift this week. You can find fun socks all over the place these days; I think Target even has holiday socks in their dollar section.
Since we’re talking toes, I grabbed some cute nail polishes too, when I saw them in coordinating colors.
And I love these little bells; found them at Target too, in the ornament section. (See what I’m talking about?? The longer I walk around Target, the more my cart fills up.) They came in tubes of 4 for a couple of bucks and I loved how they matched the socks and polish. Those colors just make me happy.
So here’s my loot, but really, if don’t have all of this, any cute pair of socks will do 🙂
Now all we have to do is package them up. Socks might seem random, unless…you have a cute label wishing someone cozy toes in a cold winter. And I got ya covered there! I did a multicolored version, and a wintery blue version. (One thing to note- in the download available for you guys, I changed it from ‘all winter’ to ‘this winter’)
I put the socks in a regular cellophane bag (which I always have tons of because I use them for goodies). The labels have a faint dotted line to show you where to fold it over. Place the fold right over the folded top of the cellophane bag and punch two holes that go right through the paper and the bag. Slip a ribbon through, and string on a bell or other little ornament if you want.
I purposely made them nice and roomy on top (the white part) so there would be plenty of space on the back to write a little message.
Gift them out, or pop them in a cute container with some goodies.
Now go forth, and gift socks!

Perfect idea for my daughter’s secret santa!! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the wonderful idea! It’s been a tough year and I didn’t think I’d be able to get the little gifts I normally do to pass out to friends. I was in my local Dollar Store today and they had a large rack of nail polish in many many different colors. I walked over to where they have the fuzzy sleep socks, picked up 11 pair then back over to the nail polish to make my matches. I know these are going to be a hit with everyone. 11 gifts for $22, pretty good deal!!
I really need a Target closer than an hour and a half away! Alas, I WILL figure out a way to pull this adorable gift together without one…. 🙂
LOVE this! Thanks so much for the idea. I like to put a little, fun package together when I give gift cards or money (to those older nieces and nephews who either want cash or cars!). These are great. You could even add those little foam toe spreaders for when you paint your toenails and maybe a mini bottle of some great foot cream.
Ahhh Target. Is there nothing you can’t do for us? 🙂
Oh my goodness! This gives me so many good ideas. So cute! Looks like I will planning a trip to Target this weekend. Thank you for the nice post and the adorable ideas.
Thank you for this! We are doing this for my 13 year old gifts for her friends! Such a cute idea. Thanks for the printable labels!
Saw this last week on Pinterest and got all the supplies from Target. Couldn’t find the cellophane bags, but Bath and Body Works were giving them out with purchases from there, so I used those! Thanks for the printables!!
This was too cute and a HUGE hit for my mother and sister-in-law. I added some homemade sugar scrub and coordinated the jar labels to match your bag tag. Following your lead, I made my jar labels available for download on my blog too. It is the season for giving after all! Thanks so much for sharing!
I never wear tall knee high socks with boots. It is always the no see socks I wear with my sneakers!
Thanks for sharing the tags with us!
