The other day I was browsing Target, aka the one-hundred-dollar store, and remembered I needed socks as soon as I saw all of the cute knee-high socks. (Kind of like I remember I need M&M’s when I walk through the candy aisle, or teal sparkly flats when I walk through the shoe aisle, or any other thing I totally don’t need but decide I need the moment I see it. Especially at Target.) But with boot season in full swing, who doesn’t need more tall socks? They were so cute that I picked up a few extras to gift to some friends. I didn’t plan on posting about this, but when I packaged them up and made a fun tag to go on them, I figured I’d share them with you all, in case anyone could use a cute, inexpensive little gift this week. You can find fun socks all over the place these days; I think Target even has holiday socks in their dollar section.
Since we’re talking toes, I grabbed some cute nail polishes too, when I saw them in coordinating colors.
And I love these little bells; found them at Target too, in the ornament section. (See what I’m talking about?? The longer I walk around Target, the more my cart fills up.) They came in tubes of 4 for a couple of bucks and I loved how they matched the socks and polish. Those colors just make me happy.
So here’s my loot, but really, if don’t have all of this, any cute pair of socks will do :)
Now all we have to do is package them up. Socks might seem random, unless…you have a cute label wishing someone cozy toes in a cold winter. And I got ya covered there! I did a multicolored version, and a wintery blue version. (One thing to note- in the download available for you guys, I changed it from ‘all winter’ to ‘this winter’)
I put the socks in a regular cellophane bag (which I always have tons of because I use them for goodies). The labels have a faint dotted line to show you where to fold it over. Place the fold right over the folded top of the cellophane bag and punch two holes that go right through the paper and the bag. Slip a ribbon through, and string on a bell or other little ornament if you want.
I purposely made them nice and roomy on top (the white part) so there would be plenty of space on the back to write a little message.
Gift them out, or pop them in a cute container with some goodies.
Now go forth, and gift socks!

I love this! It’s so nice you share your cute gift tags so that I won’t have to expose others to my chicken-scratch-sharpie notes.
yah what ever Wendy. Your printing is not chicken-scratch. Mine is. But yes it is nice to have it printed for you. So did Sara bring you ones of these by yet? :-)
So adorable!! We were visiting the US from the UK last year and whilst out one day passed a Target. We decided to go in and have a look and came out $300 poorer.
Just the cutest thing ever!
Great idea! I was struggling with what to get two of my girl friends. You saved the day…or Christmas. ;) I am off to Target this morning.
LOL I have a few pairs of those socks and love them. I would love a little gift like this.
this idea couldn’t have come at a better time! looking for small gift ideas for my teen nieces… these are PERFECT! THANK YOU!!!!!! :)
I was just going to post the same thing! My teen nieces will be getting these cute gifts too. :) Great minds think alike!
You girls are soooooooo clever and cute!! I wish I had some of it.
Absolutely adorable idea. I did something like that for my nephews and their wife/girlfriend.
These are perfect! I was just looking for some gift ideas to do on a budget…thanks for sharing, and thank you for the printables too! Merry Christmas!!!
This is an awesome gift idea. I can never have enough knee highs or nail polish!
Thank you so much for the adorable printables!! I believe it is all in the packaging that really makes a gift special. I can’t wait to go find these socks and package them! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your website!!
What a great idea! I’m a little bummed that I just delivered the teacher gifts this morning because I so want to do this now! I guess I’ll save it for next year.
I LOVE this idea!
THis is great thank you
Wonderful idea, I have been searching for a cute gift for my sister’s birthday (Jan 2nd). She will love this combination of gifts!!
Your creativity never stops! I’m done for this year, hooray, but this is first on next years’ list!
Love, love, love!! This is such a cute idea! Thanks for sharing!
Love these!!! They are perfect for what I need to finish up :) Do you have any suggestions of what you could put in place of the nail polish for men and little boys? Thank you!!! You both are wonderful :)
Hmmm…toe nail clippers? Haha. Honestly, I’d probably just go with the plain socks!
So Dang cute! A Great idea for my GIRLS!
Oh My!! I bought warm fuzzy socks for my son’s teachers this year AND I made the peppermint popcorn AND I bought the same gift ‘buckets’ at Target. Could these printables be more perfect? Thank you!!
Dude, I’m a mind-reader! Glad it’s good timing for ya ;)
What a cute — and colorful — idea! Heading to Target now to pick up some cute socks to make these for a couple last-minute gifts.
Hi! I LOVE this idea! I have a technical question for printing the labels. If I can’t print these tags at home, does anyone know if I can have them printed at a print shop? I am (almost) completely ignorant of printing cute things from my old school printer and have always been jealous of those people who make these cute things. Any help on how I can print these out? TIA!!
Barbara, I’m sure you could print it at a copy/print store. You just need to have the file. Just click on the link in the post to open the pdf file and then on that file click File>Save As, and then save it to either your computer or a flash drive. You can then either upload the file directly to the copy store on their website (like at FedexKinkos) or take your flash drive into the store and have them do it. At some places you may be able to have them pull it up directly from our site on their computers as well. Hope that helps!
Thank-you for this great Christmas gift idea!! Found you on Pinterest :)
I love that this is already floating around Pinterest, we’ve had a few people mention they saw it there this morning! Glad you found us Meesh, stick around!
Completely cute idea that I’m borrowing for last-minute gifts for my mom and sister. Thanks!
These are adorable, I am making them for my coworkers tonight for Christmas! Thanks for this great idea.
I am finished with my gifts for this year but I am adding it to the list for next year, especially for co-workers and stocking stuffers. Also like the idea of adding a mini nail care kit to it, or foot lotion. Thanks so much. Love your blog!
Random question, but can you tell me the name of the font you used for the word “warm”?? I’d love to use it for some other projects. This is a great gift idea, by the way.
It’s called “Budmo Jiggler” (seriously, who names these things?? lol) Here ya go: http://www.dafont.com/budmo-jiggler.font
Were these all at Target?
Yep :)
I love this idea. I was on hospital bed rest during my last pregnancy for 2 months over the holidays. I like to go back every year on my “anniversary” date and bring gifts to the moms that are currently in that unit. This will be the perfect gift for next year! Thanks for sharing.
Did you get those adorable buckets at Target? I love them!!
Yep- dollar section!
I bought those socks too for a few gifts!
I swear, Target is a money-sucker. I think it’s a slick trick they’ve got going on…literally EVERY time I go there, I guess how much I think I spent, while waiting at the cash register, then I tack on a hundred bucks, and I’m just about right! What the?!? Are they ringing things up at higher prices?? Infusing a mist into the air causing confusion and irresponsibility? Telling every single employee to ask if we need help, so we lose our purchase calculations in our mind? That place is dangerous, they’re up to something. And, your socks idea is super cute! Would have never thought of it :) Have a fantastic Christmas, ladies!
Mariel @ Or so she says…
I love your many wonderful and creative ideas…only come out with them a little sooner than the week OF christmas next year !!! So, where do you get the cellophane baggies? Do tell. and the boxes? Do, do tell…..pleez?
Nisey
The buckets in this post are from the Target dollar section. And I usually get my baggies at the craft store! These aren’t planned posts- just little “bonuses” that I made for myself and thought others might enjoy :)
You just saved my bacon. My girls need friend gifts by TOMORROW!!! This will be perfect. Off to Target I go.
I absolutely love everything you and Kate do! Such a cute gift idea:)
I marched right off to Tar-jay as soon as I saw these and made 3! Loved the idea.
thanks!
Love this little gift. Every year we give a little gift to the 100 + nurses in our unit. Last year it was your chili seasoning(So good!) This year we dropped the ball and they are getting a pen…… BUT, next year :0) They may just have some cozy toes!!!!!
One of the cutest gifts I’ve ever seen! For sure going to borrow this idea for next year…
I teach the 11 yr old girls in Primary and I can’t think of anything more that girls that age would love! Thank you so much
I was thinking this would be fun for girls that age!
i am overwhelmed, in an amazing way with all the fun and yummy stuff you guys have posted this holiday! i don’t know where to start! i need three weeks off to get it done! and then a day every-other-week :) haha! thank you for the DELICIOUS ideas! can’t wait to get started, even if it is at midnight tonight!
SO cute and such a good idea!
You had a recipe for mini pretzels with chocolate inside. I don’t know the name of the recipe but they are great. Would you please send me the recipe and what kind of chocolate do you use (I used Rolo candy). Appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.
Here ya go! http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/12/easy-pretzel-turtles/
You are the best! Bought the best cozy slipper socks at old navy and was trying to figure out my packaging so it wasn’t JUST a pair of socks. Thank you!!!
I used this today, so perfect. Thanks!! Merry Christmas!!
Hey this is cool but our Christmas is in summertime! Love your blog it’s awesome.
My daughter had such fun putting these together for her little friends as Christmas gifts – thank you for sharing! Oh, and our socks were from the dollar section at Target – went in just for those and some matching polish – came out $55 dollars later :)
Love this adorable idea!
Thanks for the adorable printable! I shared on my 100 Days of Christmas:
http://momsbyheart.net/100-days-of-christmas-day-96/
Old Navy has Cozy Socks on sale 2/$4 plus there is a 30% off printable coupon (thru 12/21) so you can do this gift set and pay $1.40 for the socks! Woo-Hoo!
Thanks again :)
This idea was awesome, affordable, and just plain cute :) I used it for a few co-workers and friends. I found mini pedicure sets at Walmart for $1 which I also threw in.
Love Love Love this idea! Thanx so much for sharing this!:)
I just thought this was the cutest and having the labels to print was such an extra bonus. You make us look good thanks for your creativity!!!!
one more question: the cellophane bags, did you get these also at Target or at the party store?
You have such fantastic ideas. Hats off to you.
Thanks.
Oh my goodness, this is such a cute idea!! Love it!
Thank you so much for the darling idea AND the wonderful printable! I saw these first thing in the morning and ran out and got stuff to do 8 of them for teachers, friends, visiting teachers, etc. I also added a packet of hot chocolate mix, a candy cane and a snack size bag of marshmallows {following the warm theme}. They turned out so cute! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME idea…just picked up my supplies and am assemblying. Perfect hostess/teacher/friend gift! Thanks so much for a great idea! Keep the ideas comin….
Thanks for sharing! I just made these up and included some Lindt truffles and lotto tickets! They are adorable :)
I, too, made a trip today to Target for socks and polish for my big and little girls—then I thought
my sons-in-law need socks, too! And I found travel size tubes of men’s face lotion to include with theirs.
I know they won’t probably be as impressed with the cute packaging as the girls, but that’s ok! Thanks for such a cute idea—will also be using it next year for friends gifts!
I LOVE THIS! I am 22 and always put a cute little take home treat at my mom’s Christmas party for everyone to have at their table setting. We bought fuzzy socks for the girl nieces and target mens socks for the nephews (22 total!) and printed off your cute template and added each person’s names to it!
THANKS for the super cute place setting! I cannot wait for us all to take a picture with our fun socks! :) Thanks again!
Thanks you so much for the free printable!! These are adorable! I just made 6 of these and am goin back to Target tomorrow for more socks and bells. I love your site!!
We left to go out of town on Tuesday evening. Tuesday morning my daughter decides she needs to make and deliver 5 friend gifts amid all the other things we had to do to get ready to leave. I printed out the tags, ran to Tar-jay and put these together lickety-split. We put a handful of chocolates in the bottom of each container (found in the $1 section) at Tar-jay. Loved them! So cute, will probably do again.
so very cute! saving this idea for next year as I always need “a little something” for a handful of people.
Love this idea…will be doing this for the hard to do people…thnk you
I think these toe warmers are darling. I tried to print out the labels, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
My 12 yr old daughter (with my help…) made these for her closest friends for Christmas. So fun and creative… thanks!
Thanks for sharing this, I love the idea.
