You may still remember when socks-as-gifts had a bad rep, but fortunately those days are long gone. Case in point: Shortly after dropping its holiday gift guide, cult-favorite brand Bombas sold out of many of its offerings (I know this because I was desperately trying to add them all to my shopping cart). But there are still plenty of comfy finds in stock — and right now you can get 20% off your order. It’s perfect timing whether you’re incredibly behind on your holiday shopping or you just didn’t get what you were hoping for.

There are a few big reasons why Bombas socks have become such a runaway hit (no pun intended). They all boast a premium design that’s as comfortable as it is durable. Common features you’ll find include seamless toes, luxurious long-staple cotton, and a signature “honeycomb” construction in the arch for extra support. Beyond socks, Bombas makes other cozy staples, like underwear, slippers, and T-shirts.

As a Certified B Corporation, Bombas is also a brand you can feel good about supporting. For every product you purchase, Bombas will donate one essential item to people experiencing homelessness (with 75 million items donated so far).

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite picks from the Bombas gift guide, with options in women’s, men’s, and kid’s sizing — so you can easily find something to keep everyone toasty throughout the holidays and beyond.

Picks in women’s sizes

With retro ski lodge vibes, bright pops of color, and all the comfort features Bombas are renowned for, this four-pack of calf socks is a proven crowd pleaser (just check out the nearly 23,000 reviews — most of them raves). The ribbed socks are incredibly soft, thanks to the premium long-staple cotton material, and they’re designed to retain all their magic even through countless wash cycles.

  • Available sizes: S — L

For anyone whose feet run hot (or who just prefers to feel the breeze on their calves), these Bombas ankle socks pack plenty of holiday spirit into a low-profile cut. With three colorways inspired by a traditional Scottish Fair Isle pattern, each pair is sold separately, making these especially perfect for a thoughtful stocking stuffer or under-$20 gift swap.

  • Available sizes: S — L

Falling in the luxurious gray area between sock and slipper, these gripper slip-ons have a soft brushed-lining on the inside and grippy tread on the bottoms. They come in a range of sizes and colorways (as well as in men’s and kid’s sizing). They’ve also won over plenty of fans, with one reviewer noting, “They are warm without getting too hot or sweaty.” (Note: I have a pair and can attest they are ridiculously cozy).

  • Available sizes: XS — L

For a more subtle design, these “microstripe” calf socks feel simple yet spirited, with four deep jewel-tone colors in each set. They boast all the classic Bombas features, from the dreamy long-staple cotton to the extra-supportive arch.

  • Available sizes: S — L

Nothing says cozy like a soft pair of long underwear, and this cotton-modal pair is no exception. Built for comfort, the pair has a tag-free design with minimal seams and a waistband that won’t roll down or dig into skin. Plus, they come in five fun designs.

  • Available sizes: XS — 2X

Picks in men’s sizing

Dress socks don’t need to be thin or uncomfortable, and this Bombas gift box is proof. Made with a soft cotton blend, they feature extra cushioning and support in common stress points, like the heel and footbed, and the seamless toe ensures a smooth fit with shoes.

  • Available sizes: M — XL

These Fair Isle-inspired calf socks are the perfect combination of warm and festive, with a cushiony cotton knit material that won’t slip down. The single pair comes in six bold colorways, all of which are sure to add a dash of holiday spirit.

  • Available sizes: M — XL

These Bombas slippers boast all the same great features as the women’s version, but in men’s sizing and a slightly different selection of colorways. They feature a brushed inner-lining for extra softness and treads on the soles to help keep you from slipping. And the fold-flat design makes them perfect for travel.

  • Available sizes: M — XL
