Don't freak out, these socks are not ordinary socks. Some may wonder why this is on an accessory fact; however, I promise that by the end of this post you will want one of these socks. Growing up (and I still believe this), I would tell people that my birthday was in fact a national holiday and I had no clue why people around the world weren't taking notice. In college, I loved people dropping by my dorm and leaving gifts outside of my door or attaching them to my dry erase board. Now much wiser, I still feel that it's a holiday but I'm ok with not having a major parade that runs through the city. That being said, my birthday tends to fall on odd days Tues and Weds which are not condusive to going out. So I began celebrating the weekend before to the next weekend. It was nice getting gifts. I fell upon the Birthday Sock and visited their site and felt that this needed to be shared. The Birthday Sock is made out of 100% nylon and seriously can take A LOT of items in it. I love the mint color above but they have quite a range of colors that are perfect to show your style(although I wonder why they don't have lilac or a nice pearl grey which are my favorite colors ...hmm). No matter how heavy or how many years you use it, you can always have this trusty sock. In addition, it doesn't just have to be for birthdays, it can be for Valentine's day or any moment that you want the world to know that a gift is expeted and with all the room, you want it to be filled. Take a moment to visit the site to see the sock sculptures and to pick out your color! Where can this sock go? This is a must for college students, maybe you have a cubicle and can hang this out here OR you could hang it up in an employee area only. If you have roommies, you know you have many places to hang it, the options are endless and this is so cute and under $20. The Birthday Sock is definitely a welcome addition to your plans.
