Gift under €20: art socks with a famous painting
A single pair of Kunstsokken costs €12.95, so it fits easily within a €20 budget. You're giving a famous painting, knitted into a sock, such as The Kiss by Klimt or Water Lilies by Monet. Pick the painting that suits the person, and a small gift still feels personal.
What is a good gift under €20?
Something they'll really use, that shows you've thought about them. Socks get worn every day. With a painting they love on them, they become a small work of art for the sock drawer. Every single pair comes in our letterbox box, with a card about the artwork.
Which pair should I choose for them?
Every pair below costs €12.95. They come in EU 36-40 (UK 3.5-6.5) and EU 41-46 (UK 7-11), for men and women.
Does she love gold and romance? The Kiss, Gustav Klimt
Klimt painted The Kiss in 1907 and 1908. Two lovers, wrapped in gold. A small gift with a big feeling, and a sweet idea for Valentine's Day or an anniversary too.
Does he have a garden or a pond? Water Lilies, Claude Monet
Monet painted the water lilies in his own garden at Giverny, again and again. This version is from 1906. Soft colours that are easy to wear.
Does she love eating out? Café Terrace at Night, Vincent van Gogh
A busy café in Arles under the stars, painted in 1888. Warm yellow light against a deep blue night.
Is he an animal lover? Blue Horse I, Franz Marc
Franz Marc loved animals. He painted this bright blue horse in 1911. It stands for calm and inner strength.
Does she love blue-and-white china? Delftware Flowers
The design comes from 17th-century Delft blue flower holders, made by the Dutch pottery De Grieksche A. A little piece of the Netherlands, for anyone who loves Dutch design.
Is he a ray of sunshine? Sunflowers, Vincent van Gogh
Van Gogh painted this vase with twelve sunflowers in 1888. He wanted to brighten up the Yellow House in Arles for his friend Paul Gauguin. Almost everything is yellow.

Can I get two pairs for €20?
Two single pairs cost €25.90 together, so that's just over budget. A set of two, such as the Wassily Kandinsky 2-Pack, also costs €25.90. Buying several pairs at once automatically makes each pair cheaper. But for a gift under €20, one pair is the way to go.
Are cheap socks still good quality?
Yes. A single pair is the very same sock as in our sets and gift boxes. The artwork is knitted in, not printed, so the colours don't fade. The socks are made of 80% organic cotton (GOTS certified), 15% recycled polyamide and 5% elastane. They're seamless, with a reinforced heel and toe. If a hole appears within a year, you get a new pair for free.
