When I gifted Tony another subscription to Sockbox (this time for 12 months!), there was an incentive that gives 50% more socks throughout the subscription. So every other month there should be two pairs of socks instead of one. What a deal!

Inside the “Box”
The first pair of this month’s socks comes from Northern Sole, who hasn’t posted on Instagram since 2018 and doesn’t seem to have a website. I think their business may be defunct. These are fun pair of socks that brings one back to the late 80s/early 90s; the colours of my childhood XD.
The second pair of socks is from Society Socks, which actually has their own sock subscription service. These are a fun, floral design which is not currently available online. I didn’t mean to rhyme.
Overall Impression
I’m beginning to think that Sockbox often buys the stock of businesses that have gone under, and/or old stock that functioning businesses didn’t sell and want to dispose of. Just a hunch. Nothing wrong with it. It’s better that these clothes make their way into someone’s hands than the landfill!
