The word itself comes from an old French term for when a page of text had to be assembled letter by letter in a printing press - but common words or phrases were kept on hand as a solid block.
'Cliche' came from these 'clicked' together blocks, and we still use it today for anything that has earned its place in regular life - such as the annual tradition of giving wholesale socks as Christmas gifts.
It's not just a novelty, as men's wholesale socks not only raise a smile on Christmas morning, but also help to restock his wardrobe when needed.
Kids' wholesale socks make a handy stocking-filler, and while they might not be the most exciting gift in the pile, it all helps to add to the heap of unwrapped items by the time the turkey is ready.
Wholesale kids' character socks offer a little more excitement, with their favourite superheroes and cartoon characters available as designs - just check the school uniform policy before you send them off for the day in Batman socks.
And for her, wholesale lingerie and nightwearis a traditional romantic option, while there's no reason why men should be the only ones to receive practical footwear at a chilly time of year.
If the snow sets in for any length of time, wholesale thermal wear is a great gift for the whole family, allowing you to get out together to play or trek through the snow with at least a little warmth, and make some Christmas memories that will last a lifetime.
So make wholesale socks as Christmas gifts a cliche in your own household, starting this year, and you'll always have a warm winter wardrobe on hand when the coldest weather sets in throughout January and February.
