Affordable Gift Ideas for Men - Personalised Socks with Initials

An affordable gift for men: socks with his initials

You have a set budget and you don't want to look mean. These socks carry his initials, embroidered by our artisans in Italy. 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
