Call me old-fashioned (or just call me old) but I genuinely LOVE getting socks for Christmas. The more colourful and ridiculous, the better.
I also get novelty socks on other holidays, too. One year I received — per my request — ketchup chip socks for Valentine's Day because nothing makes my heart go pitter-patter quite like potato chips.
If you or someone you know finds great joy in whimsical hosiery, then you can't go wrong with gifting a pair of novelty socks for the holidays. There are tons of Toronto shops that sell socks for everyone on your shopping list — including yourself.
