An affordable gift for men: socks with his initials

You have a set budget and you don't want to look mean. Our artisans in Italy embroider his initials on these socks. They look like a far more expensive gift than they are. Ready to give.

At this budget there is little that is really worth it

Below a certain figure the gift for a man usually shows: gadgets, anonymous wallets, yet another belt. Things that end up in a drawer.

Here the criterion changes. What matters isn't how much you spend: it is that the gift is made especially for him. An initial embroidered one by one is worth more than an object costing a good deal more.

Why you still make a good impression

  • It is made especially for him — it is a one-off, not a shelf item.
  • It is Made in Italy — cotton, Filo di Scozia or cashmere, embroidered one letter at a time.
  • It looks like an expensive gift — the jar and the Wooden Box do the rest.
  • A good pair is never one too many. Socks wear out.

What you can choose from

  • Stretch cotton — plain or patterned, the most contained choice.
  • Filo di Scozia — finer and more elegant.
  • Design — with the symbol of his passion.
  • Cashmere Blend — warm and soft.

You'll find the price on each product page.

How to personalise them

Choose the model, the colour and the letter. We embroider his initial above the heel. It takes seconds from your phone. We ship within 24-48 hours, delivery then depends on the courier.
