I have some novelty socks I got as gifts. And they're great and all, but I don't think I'd ever pay extra for socks just because they have a cool or funny design. Not for me. I mean, what's the point? You only get to see them like twice a day if that.

I will say that they make for great gifts. Especially when you're not sure what to get to someone. Plain socks are boring, and I don't know, something like a mug or a pen feels too impersonal sometimes. But a nice pair of socks with cats with a design that makes someone laugh when they pull it out of the packaging? Great gift.

Anyway, if you do buy these socks for yourself, tell me why. I really want to know. Am I missing something?
