Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Comedian Noel Fielding (of The Mighty Boosh fame) knows what it’s all about. In an interview in one of this weekend’s papers he said:
“I visited a friend in Leicester recently. It was 4am, and we all ran around in a circle, six of us. It’s the most fun I’ve had since I was seven. And [...]
The beauty of bamboo
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Our launch collection will be made almost completely from bamboo since it’s just so suited to socks!
It’s far softer than cotton, and way more breathable
It has fantastic wicking capability to keep your feet dry all day long
The fibres thermo-control properties keep you naturally warmer in winter and cooler in summer
Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal [...]
Email. Email. Email. Email. Another email. Christmas!
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008It’s a bit mind boggling how many emails we have sent and received in the process of setting up Socks for Happy People, but it certainly makes the physical parcels we receive very exciting!

Creating the Visions and Missions that are at the heart of Socks for Happy People has been a very real process that is now starting to bear fruit.
We’ve been fortunate enough to have [...]
When are the socks coming?*
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I get asked this on a daily basis, which is great as it’s clear that a lot of people are very excited. But while we implore people to be patient I’d just like to note that we are still making happy ripples even before the socks arrive.
Like last night for example while myself and [...]
“Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?”
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Socks for Happy People F.C. had its first run out at a footie tournament in Surrey recently.
The rain poured, the wind blew, the referee needed glasses and all was well. We played like gentlemen, competed like lions and eventually bowed out in the first round.
But more important than winning games, in our humble opinion, was [...]
