So whilst it is bitter cold within the UK and sock's are a definate must. Its sometimes just too cold to go out or like myself you cant go out. So a subscription box for socks, to add something exciting and different to your mailbox each month. 

About : All Henry J Socks are brightly coloured and perfect for everyday use with something to shout about.We also offer unique services like our Sock Subscription which is perfect for either a gift idea or so you never have to think about buying socks again. 

Not only that but don't let your lonely sock go to waste, you can purchase any single variation of sock from us today. So why not reunite that lonely sock again.

- Subscription box 

The initial presentation, coming in a normal cardboard box with a very humerous little quote and logo imprinted. (See above "Blow your sock's off picture" Already you get a smile and the anticipation of what will be inside your box. With my subscription i like the element of surprise, so I was unaware of colour or design within. 

On opening you see the tissue paper wrapped content's, along with the card stating the amount of sock's, duration of subscription and quantity you will recieve each month. 

This month I recieved the average size (6-11, they also cater for a large size 11-16).

which are Unisex in colouring. The blue and Orange striped design is a fun pair of sock's to have in your collection. 

Very soft to the touch and on wearing feel comfortable plus well fitted to the shape of the foot. It's thin yet light weight but gives warmth also. Its a really high quality pair of sock's you recieve. 

I would certainly say this subscription box is unique, plus fantastically practical for any professionals. You can stock up on what you need for the month and how many pair's also. It would make the perfect gift subscription, if you are someone whom likes to give a more unique twist on a classic present. Henry Socks can also be ordered vis the shop and subscription is not needed. Im more of a person whom likes the little surprise each month to see what i will recieve. 

Either way I think this is a lovely, professional and unique subscription. It's got something different and we are so swamped in sample boxes, if your looking for a totally different box then choose this.  

Are you missing a sock ?

Don't worry we've all lost a sock now and then or sometimes, someone like Bella here, claims it as her new chew toy.

Well thankfully Henry J Socks offer a unique service that doesn't let that lonely sock go to waste with our Sock Reunite service.
