Less is More

While having a nice conversation with a couple of friends last fall, one of them brought up the topic of “less is more.”  The thought lingered with me as 2011 was winding down and I found myself revisiting it while shopping for gifts, packing for our holiday away with family, and it was a good reminder at Christmas parties as the dessert plates came my way!

With a week of 2012 under my belt now I’m still hearing that “less is more” voice inside my head, and instead of writing a long list of goals for this year I think I’ll just stick with this approach for the time being.   

That being said, how on earth could this apply to socks?  Well, for starters how about cleaning out that sock drawer and keeping only your few favorites and leaving some room for some fun, new custom socks that you and only you create?  No more big packages of mass-produced, bulky socks filling your drawer to the rim!  Instead, go online to sockprints and indulge in the creation of a few pairs of your very own personalized socks.    

Whether you’re a retail or wholesale customer, sockprints minimum orders are low.   And with prices unheard of for one-of-a-kind, personalized socks, you can’t beat what we do.  Using our design gallery, you can select artwork from a variety of themes or if you’re fluent in programs like Photoshop or Illustrator, you can upload your own images to be printed on our socks.  So, out with the old and in with the new!

If you haven’t tried creating your own custom socks before, give it a shot!  Here’s a special coupon code for 30% off good through the month of January 2012.  Enter JAN2012 at checkout to receive your discount.

New Year's Resolution Socks

A few New Year’s Eves ago, I made a resolution to never make resolutions again. It’s the only New Year’s resolution that has ever stuck with me. Resolutions seem daunting and overwhelming so instead, I write a list of goals each year that I hope to accomplish. Resolutions and goals are probably the exact same thing, but goals sound better to me so I write down the typical goals like everyone else (exercise more, healthy eating) and then I add a couple others (read more books, get monthly massages). Looking for inspiration for some new goals for 2011, I Google searched New Year’s Resolutions and found the most common resolutions are:

• Spend more time with family & friends
  
• Exercise – get fit
  
• Lose weight
  
• Quit smoking
  
• Enjoy life
  
• Drink less alcohol
  
• Get out of debt – manage finances
  
• Learn something new
  
• Help others (volunteer)
  
• Get organized
  
• Get a better job
  
• Get an education
  
• Travel
  

If you need some help sticking to your New Year’s resolutions, we’ve come up with a fun solution for you. Try listing your goals on a pair of socks! Whether your list is short or long, we have the sock style to fit your needs. You don’t have to carry around your list of resolutions on a piece of paper or type it in your smart phone, because you can wear your list! Gently pull up your pant leg for a reminder of what you want to accomplish. This may sound like a silly idea, but hey – we make custom socks so you can create whatever you want on them!

Best wishes for a prosperous New Year!
