So, in light of my dh's purchase for me (tria laser), I'm feeling compelled to at least somewhat reciprocate. Thing is, I don't ever feel okay spending >$50 on a single item without touching base with him. I'm not on a budget, it's just my own mental restraints. (otherwise, I'd buy the world and then we would be broke!)

So, I'm looking for gift for DH and the only thing I can think of that he's mentioned is socks. lol!

He wears suits to work everyday, so he likes to have fun with his socks a bit. (It would be nice if he had fun with ties; those are a lot more common!)

Where to get fun prints, yet good quality socks? The only band I can think of that he's mentioned to me is something along the lines of happy toes, happy feet or happy sox... something like that.

Other ideas are also welcome!

I got DH some cashmere socks a few years ago and they are by far his favorites! I haven't seen them in fun colors or patterns though.

I'm showing my embarrassing interest in the Kardashians here, but the son (Rob) just started a line of funky men's socks. They are Arthur George.

I totally enjoy the Kardashians. lol! At one point, I had DH look at Rob's socks online with me and he didn't like them. I don't rememeber if they were too plain, not the right cotton mix or if they weren't tall enough to cover his calf.
DH is just too pikcy! ;)

Good idea though! Thanks!

DH wears only funky socks. Most of his are from Next Direct. They don't hold their shape as well as his Boden socks but they have a much better selection/price.

Those socks look like sweaters from the 80s.
