Funny Christmas Gifts for Men: Novelty Socks He'll Actually Wear
Looking for funny Christmas gifts for men? Socks are the classic Christmas present for a reason, so make them funny. A pair with a joke on it gets a laugh on Christmas morning and gets worn long after the leftover ham is gone. At Sockyroo, we're a family-owned Aussie business, and our Socks For Him range is full of novelty socks for men who say they "don't need anything".
This guide covers our Christmas giftboxes, picks by personality, stocking stuffers for men under $15 and bundles for a bigger gift. Buying for the office draw as well? Our Kris Kringle gift ideas are sorted by budget, or you can browse our full range of Christmas socks.
Christmas socks for men: the giftboxes
If you want Christmas socks for men, our two giftboxes are where the festive designs live. Each holds four pairs of crew socks for $44.99, is listed as unisex and one size fits most, and arrives gift-ready in its box.
The Christmas Socks Giftbox (Patterns) is the traditional pick, with gingerbread men, Christmas trees, snowflakes and candy canes. It suits the bloke who puts the lights up on 1 December and won't hear a word against it.
The Christmas Socks Gift box (Characters) is the cheekier one, full of funny Christmas socks starring Santa, a snowman, a gingerbread house and Godzilla in a Christmas hat. If he'd rather watch a monster movie than carols by candlelight, this is his box.
Funny socks for every kind of bloke
Not every man wants Santa on his feet. These picks from our men's collection match the gift to the personality instead.
The foodie
The Burger and Chips Socks ($8.00) put a burger on one foot and a red box of chips on the other. It's a meal deal he can't spill on his shirt.
For the man who reckons a cold one is a food group, the Beer Bottle Socks ($11.55) are a mismatched pair covered in beer bottles and mugs. It's the only round he'll never have to shout.
The animal lover
The Dog Socks (Red and Blue) ($14.55) feature five cartoon breeds, including Labradors, Beagles, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds and Bulldogs, on a blue base with red cuffs. They're for the dog dad who shows you pet photos before you've asked.
The Aussie Kangaroo Socks (Light Blue) ($12.55) are covered in hopping kangaroos, with striped cuffs. They suit the man who still gets excited spotting a roo on a road trip.
The pop culture fan
The Rick and Morty Portal Socks ($11.99) bring a little multiverse mischief to the Boxing Day couch session. They're one size, medium to large.
The Homer Simpson Socks ($13.55) have Homer's face on bright yellow cuffs. They're for the dad who says "D'oh!" every time he burns the snags.
The true-blue Aussie
The Boxing Kangaroo Socks ($12.55) feature a kangaroo in full boxing stance on a navy base with green and gold trim. It's a gift that packs a punch.
The Outback Orange Socks ($17.00) are the subtle option, with a terracotta colour inspired by the red dirt of the outback and a small embroidered orange slice at the ankle. They're quiet enough for the office and still say "I'm from here".
Stocking stuffers for men under $15
Socks are already stocking-shaped, so they're the easiest stocking stuffers for men. Most of the picks above come in under $15, and these two hobby pairs do too.
The Golf Themed Novelty Socks ($14.55) are green with golf carts and flags. Whatever his handicap, his socks will be on par.
The Motorbike Themed Socks ($13.00) have colourful motorbikes on a navy base with yellow cuffs, for the bloke who'd rather be riding than unwrapping.
Under $15, the Burger and Chips ($8.00), Beer Bottle ($11.55), Rick and Morty Portal ($11.99), Aussie Kangaroo and Boxing Kangaroo ($12.55 each), Homer Simpson ($13.55) and Dog Socks ($14.55) all fit the stocking too.
Bundles for a bigger gift
Want something bigger than a stocking stuffer? Three-pack bundles give him a week's worth of laughs in one gift.
The Aussie Socks Three Pack Bundle ($35.55) brings together the Aussie Kangaroo, Aussie Koala and Boxing Kangaroo pairs. If you're after gifts for him in Australia that are unmistakably local, this is it.
The Patterned Socks Three Pack Bundle ($32.55) includes the Bluewave Splash, Groovy Stripe and Kaleidoscope pairs, for the man who'd rather wear bold colour than a joke.
