A New and Fun Idea for Father’s Day Gifts: Socks

John's Crazy Socks has released its special collection of Father's Day socks including Father's Day Gift Boxes.

John’s Crazy Socks has released its special collection of Father’s Day socks including Father’s Day Gift Boxes. Co-founded by John Cronin, a young man with Downs syndrome, John’s Crazy Socks has a mission to spread happiness through socks. Part of that missions means giving back, so the Company donates five percent of its earnings to the Special Olympics. The company also raises money for its charity partners including the National Down Syndrome Society and Autism Speaks through the sale of its Awareness Socks.

John says, “I love my Dad and I love socks so I picked out a special collection of socks to give as Father’s Day gifts." John’s picks include a BBQ sock, a Golf Sock, a Shark Attack Sock and a Craft Beer Socks. “We have so many great socks, it was hard to pick only a few,” John said.

Why socks for Father’s Day? They’re different, affordable, easy to give (and easy to wrap) and you can pick socks that express what you want to say to your Dad. “Sock are so much fun,” says John.

To create the Father Day’s Collection of Socks, John and his colleagues picked 58 socks from the over 1,200 socks available at John’s Crazy Socks. Plus they created two gift boxes: a Father’s Day Gift Box and a Giant Father’s Day Gift Box. John’s co-founder, his father, Mark X. Cronin, said, “Our Mother’s Day Gift Boxes sold out and we expect there will be even more of a demand for the Father’s Day Gift Boxes.”

Here are John's picks of his favorite eight socks to give for Father's Day:
