Sometimes predictable is perfect.
London-based men’s brand The Savile Row Co. recently surveyed its customers to find out what presents they prefer to receive during the holidays, and a whopping 80 percent said they’d rather get a predictable gift than something that they don’t want.
Among the different types of “predictable gifts,” the respondents said that the items they would most like to unwrap on Christmas are socks and grooming products. That was followed in a second-place tie by slippers and a wallet.
To help find that last-minute sock present for the guy in your life, FN has rounded up a selection of seven gift sets that — while practical — are anything but predictable.
Ace & Everett 3-Pack Box Set
These Italian-made dress socks feature a diamond motif in the design and come packaged a minimalist box, making them perfect for gifting.
