Sock Panda is a monthly sock subscription service. With each shipment, you'll receive a new selection of quality socks with plenty of eye-catching colors and unique designs.
According to the Sock Panda site, this subscription's products are made in a family-run factory in Lima, Peru. Sock Panda is committed to making the world a better place—for every subscription purchased, they donate socks to communities in need. (As of October 2015, they had already donated 50,000 socks!)
Sock Panda offers subscriptions for men, women, tweens, and kids ages 3-8. When you sign up, you'll pick some style preferences and note whether you'd like to receive one or two pairs per month.

Toucan Socks
I love this first pair of socks! Sure, it feels a little summery, given the tropical birds and colors, for September, but how can I not be delighted by these rainbow birds?! The socks are super soft and lightweight, given that they're 85% Peruvian cotton, 10% nylon, and 5% spandex. I might have to cuff my jeans and show off these pretty birds!
Blue and Yellow Zig Zag Patterned Socks
The second pair of socks is a little more low-key but just as colorful and fun. I like the idea of wearing these as a pop of color with black jeans and a simple white t-shirt. Like the first pair, they're soft and relatively thin—they don't take up much room in a shoe, nor do they leave my feet feeling too warm or stuffy. And the colors will bring some sunshine to a gray fall day.
Verdict: Sock Panda is $10.00/pair if you go with the 2-pack, which is probably about average for what you'd pay for a pair of patterned, high-quality socks at a cool boutique or shop at the mall. The patterns were a bit more summer than fall, but that's not enough of a reason for me not to rock 'em! I also like that this subscription has a charitable angle—it makes any extra dollar or so feel worth it to me.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Sock Panda sends its socks at random, so you might not get this exact set if you place your order today.

Value Breakdown: I paid $20.00 total for these two pairs of socks (price + shipping), meaning each pair is $10.00. Note that the monthly single-pack costs $13.00 total ($12.00 per pair + $1.00 shipping)—to get two pairs that way, you'd pay $26.00. So technically, you save $6.00 by going with the two pack (or $2.00 per pair).
