Yofair Pet photo socks

A pair of socks with a pet photograph printed across the shaft and sole. The pink ground sits behind the image so the ears, whiskers and collar read as if held on a field; letters placed inside the shape of a paw mark when you add a name, the strokes compacted to keep them legible where the print narrows. You buy this for a father because the joke lands at the shoes rather than at the wrapping.

They fold small into a gift box and go in a drawer beside the spare keys. Wear will show at the heel before it does anywhere else, which is the trade-off for a soft print that covers the foot. We take the photograph you supply and place it to fit the chosen style so the face is where you expect it when the sock is on.

One of 4 on the photo gifts shelf in the Yofair catalogue. It also answers to face socks. The name is typed in at the checkout, not here, and the way we keep the figures on this page current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
