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!

Questions & Reviews
Thanks you so much for the free printable!! These are adorable! I just made 6 of these and am goin back to Target tomorrow for more socks and bells. I love your site!!
I LOVE THIS! I am 22 and always put a cute little take home treat at my mom’s Christmas party for everyone to have at their table setting. We bought fuzzy socks for the girl nieces and target mens socks for the nephews (22 total!) and printed off your cute template and added each person’s names to it!
THANKS for the super cute place setting! I cannot wait for us all to take a picture with our fun socks! 🙂 Thanks again!
I, too, made a trip today to Target for socks and polish for my big and little girls—then I thought
my sons-in-law need socks, too! And I found travel size tubes of men’s face lotion to include with theirs.
I know they won’t probably be as impressed with the cute packaging as the girls, but that’s ok! Thanks for such a cute idea—will also be using it next year for friends gifts!
Thanks for sharing! I just made these up and included some Lindt truffles and lotto tickets! They are adorable 🙂
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME idea…just picked up my supplies and am assemblying. Perfect hostess/teacher/friend gift! Thanks so much for a great idea! Keep the ideas comin….
Thank you so much for the darling idea AND the wonderful printable! I saw these first thing in the morning and ran out and got stuff to do 8 of them for teachers, friends, visiting teachers, etc. I also added a packet of hot chocolate mix, a candy cane and a snack size bag of marshmallows {following the warm theme}. They turned out so cute! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh my goodness, this is such a cute idea!! Love it!
one more question: the cellophane bags, did you get these also at Target or at the party store?
You have such fantastic ideas. Hats off to you.
Thanks.
I just thought this was the cutest and having the labels to print was such an extra bonus. You make us look good thanks for your creativity!!!!
Love Love Love this idea! Thanx so much for sharing this!:)
This idea was awesome, affordable, and just plain cute 🙂 I used it for a few co-workers and friends. I found mini pedicure sets at Walmart for $1 which I also threw in.
Thanks for the adorable printable! I shared on my 100 Days of Christmas:

Thanks again 🙂
Love this adorable idea!
My daughter had such fun putting these together for her little friends as Christmas gifts – thank you for sharing! Oh, and our socks were from the dollar section at Target – went in just for those and some matching polish – came out $55 dollars later 🙂
Hey this is cool but our Christmas is in summertime! Love your blog it’s awesome.
I used this today, so perfect. Thanks!! Merry Christmas!!
You are the best! Bought the best cozy slipper socks at old navy and was trying to figure out my packaging so it wasn’t JUST a pair of socks. Thank you!!!
You had a recipe for mini pretzels with chocolate inside. I don’t know the name of the recipe but they are great. Would you please send me the recipe and what kind of chocolate do you use (I used Rolo candy). Appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.

I teach the 11 yr old girls in Primary and I can’t think of anything more that girls that age would love! Thank you so much
I was thinking this would be fun for girls that age!
One of the cutest gifts I’ve ever seen! For sure going to borrow this idea for next year…
Love this little gift. Every year we give a little gift to the 100 + nurses in our unit. Last year it was your chili seasoning(So good!) This year we dropped the ball and they are getting a pen…… BUT, next year :0) They may just have some cozy toes!!!!!
I marched right off to Tar-jay as soon as I saw these and made 3! Loved the idea.
thanks!
I absolutely love everything you and Kate do! Such a cute gift idea:)
You just saved my bacon. My girls need friend gifts by TOMORROW!!! This will be perfect. Off to Target I go.
I love your many wonderful and creative ideas…only come out with them a little sooner than the week OF christmas next year !!! So, where do you get the cellophane baggies? Do tell. and the boxes? Do, do tell…..pleez?
Nisey
The buckets in this post are from the Target dollar section. And I usually get my baggies at the craft store! These aren’t planned posts- just little “bonuses” that I made for myself and thought others might enjoy 🙂
I swear, Target is a money-sucker. I think it’s a slick trick they’ve got going on…literally EVERY time I go there, I guess how much I think I spent, while waiting at the cash register, then I tack on a hundred bucks, and I’m just about right! What the?!? Are they ringing things up at higher prices?? Infusing a mist into the air causing confusion and irresponsibility? Telling every single employee to ask if we need help, so we lose our purchase calculations in our mind? That place is dangerous, they’re up to something. And, your socks idea is super cute! Would have never thought of it 🙂 Have a fantastic Christmas, ladies!
Mariel @ Or so she says…
I bought those socks too for a few gifts!
Did you get those adorable buckets at Target? I love them!!
Yep- dollar section!
