Socks, socks and more socks
You definitely need to stock up on socks – as everyone loves new socks, whether they’re 2 or 102! Socks are great stocking fillers, ideal for ‘hard to buy for’ people and are often included as extras with clothing gifts (e.g. if someone is given a jumper or shirt, they’ll often receive a multipack of new socks too).
Your range needs to include socks for the whole family, and cater for different needs. Smart socks, novelty socks, work socks… people want good quality at a great price. Branded socks are popular, especially with teens, and as socks sell all year round, it’s best to order extra, so that you don’t run out and miss out on sales.

Hats and gloves
You’ll be needing plenty of hats and gloves, which not only look good, but do the job they’re designed for. No customer would be happy buying some attractive gloves, only to discover that they’re paper-thin and don’t keep their fingers warm.
Women are likely to buy more than one pair of gloves, as often they match the gloves to a particular coat or use one for work and one for walking the dog, for instance. Make sure your range included gloves in black, pastel shades and bright colours.
Men like classic design, and are more interested in the practicality so Thinsulate hats and gloves are always best sellers, as they’re breathable, moisture resistant and adjust to suit all weather conditions.
