Bookish Socks for Winter Nights

I am not a person who enjoys the winter. Yes, I know that for some it’s a time of cozy long nights reading by the fireplace, but I do not have a functional fireplace and I hate getting home from work in the dark. I do not like being cold, either, and that’s why I am here to make the case for socks. Specifically, bookish socks. Fun socks make the winter more bearable. Plus, they can be a subtle way of telling the world what you’re interested in without making it your entire personality if, perhaps, that’s not something your workplace would accept. I used to love wearing eccentric socks to my corporate job.

The other great thing about socks is that everyone needs them. If worn once per week, socks should last from six months to a year. Confession: I have socks in my sock drawer that could be starting middle school this year, but socks are a thing that people actually do need more of because they wear out. Book-themed socks tell your person that you’ve gotten them a thing they need that references a thing they like, and isn’t that what love is? Socks also tend to be affordable, unlike those Instagram pajamas that have been following me around the internet for the last few weeks.

Will there be any bookish socks under your tree this year?

I hope that this helps you find the socks of your dreams — or of someone else’s dreams — and that these socks go a little bit of the way toward making those long winter nights just a bit cozier.
