These are the socks I reach for when I'm having a bad day. Not only do the colors just plain brighten my mood, but it also feels like there's a bit of love knit into them somehow. They're completely Fair Trade, hand-dyed (so each one's unique, which means I can sit there looking at my socks when my eyes need a computer break), and it's just hard to be grumpy when I'm wearing them. Not impossible -- trust me, there are few things that make grumpiness impossible when I put my mind to it -- but much harder. Splendid with sandals.

If you're the kind of person who likes to give little presents to make people smile, these socks are just about perfect; they're not too expensive and they're just so much fun and invigorating. Keep a pair in your purse or bag, in your desk drawer, in your bike panniers,... you just may grow addicted to people's reactions when your present them with a pair of these special socks.

Size small fits a woman's shoe size 5.5 to 9 and a man's 4-7.

Size medium fits a woman's 10-13 and a man's 8-12.

Size large fits a man's shoe size 12.5+.

Hand-dyed in the USA or Canada, so each pair is unique -- the photo you'll see is representative, but the socks you'll receive will be yours and yours alone.
