Panda Pals January 2021 Review

Socktivity
Every month Panda Pals sends us a "socktivity" along with a small extra item or 2. This month we received an educational sheet that discussed the importance of fire safety. Our school recently did a presentation for each elementary class on this subject, so this was perfect timing to receive this theme. The boys were excited to do the word search, complete the maze, and brush up on their fire trivia. They were also pumped to receive the fire safety-themed stickers and temporary tattoos with the bonus snowman sticker sheet!

This month's "socktivity" was a fun variety of mazes, tattoos, and sticker creations!

Fire Truck Socks
In coordination with our fire safety theme, our first pair of socks featured cartoon firetrucks with firefighters connecting their hose to a fire hydrant. They are bright, multi-colored, and just plain fun. The boy's loved these silly socks, and are looking forward to parading them around school once we return from our "reset."

Fire Truck Ladder Socks
Hooray for another pair of fire truck socks! I was a little worried we would have a fight on our hands over who would get to wear the truck socks, but both of this month's pairs had the beloved fire truck on them. Phew! This pair shows a fire truck zooming down a road with a ladder set-up in a tree. They're definitely unlike any other socks we own, but super cool. Charlie even wore this pair to bed!

Bonus North Pole Socks
This review is technically for January 2021, but I received this package on December 12, which was excitingly early. When I picked up the package I thought it felt extra bulky and was pleasantly surprised to find a bonus pair of socks this month! Unlike the other 2 pairs of socks, this red and white striped "North Pole" set came with a Sock Panda tag and felt a little thicker than usual. Hank actually preferred the fit and feel of these socks, and can't wait to wear them in preparation for Christmas.
Verdict: Panda Pals is always exciting, but this month was the best! The fire theme is one of my boys' top 5 themes ever, and the fact that we received a bonus pair of socks knocked it out of the park. Like I have said before, these socks are the only ones my boys wear as they are super cool, comfortable, wash up perfectly, and are easy to match. I can't wait to see what theme they send next month!
To Wrap Up:
Can I still get this box if I sign up today? Each package is customized by size and gender, so yours might look different! If you order today, your socks will be sent via USPS within 3-5 days of account activation and will be sent around the same time each month.
Value Breakdown: At $16 a month, you are paying $8 per pair of socks ($5.33 this month because of the bonus pair), which is a little higher priced than other socks, but you are also helping people in need by purchasing!
