Gift Ideas $25 & Under - New sock collection from rockflowerpaper

Dachshund Navy pattern

Socks remain a HOT category at retail and is truly one of the must-have categories for your shop this season.  The new sock collection from rockflowerpaper includes 11 designs, some of which are inspired by popular designs already in the line and others that are completely new.  Each pair is an all-over pattern with no words (or profanity) like you find on some other sock companies.

Socks have become the perfect impulse purchase - for a gift or for self-purchase - and a favorite stocking stuffer.  They add life to your store displays and a touch of whimsy to your customers' outfits.

Fair Isle Red pattern

The socks are crew length in women's one-size-fits-most.  They are a cotton/nylon/elasthan blend that makes them durable and easy-care.  

Retail them for $10-12 with a comfortable margin.  Since it's not uncommon for customers to purchase more than one pair, consider offering a price break on a multi-unit purchase ($10 each or $28 for 3).

Do you have enough gift ideas in the $25-and-under range?

So.....October is here.  That means 84 more days before Christmas.  That means 12 more weekends before Christmas.

No doubt you are already up to your eyeballs unpacking daily deliveries, and your shop is starting to look festive.  You probably also have glitter on your floor, on your shelves, and in your hair.

Don't forget to carve out time to review your fall buying and ask a very important question:

Do you have enough gift ideas in the $25-and-under range?

Every year I hear from retailers in November who are in need of more product in this magic price range.

Since it's my job to make your job easier (and I know how much work you get done outside of regular business hours), this year I will share suggestions from my line package throughout the month of October.  It just so happens my line package has oodles of ideas that will make your customers happy and your cash register sing!
