The tube sock makes a super cool comeback

December 8th, 2009

Only once have I thought a pair of tube socks to be super cool, and that “once” was when Hank & JoJo sent me a box of their Retro Baby Tube Socks for review on the Daily Dish. Who knew a geeky sport sock (okay, maybe Patrick Dempsey could pull it off) could be turned into a stylin’ eco-friendly accessory for baby?

The first think you notice about Hank & JoJo’s box of tube socks, besides the fact that “box of tube socks” is a sweet little rhyme, is the packaging. This miniature tin lunchbox with it’s peek-a-boo window has the cutest, most whimsical characters on it. Made from lead-free tin and plastic (and exceeding CPSIA regulations for lead), this little box is recyclable, but I can guarantee you’ll be recycling it in-house as a piggy bank, display case for those little treasures toddlers collect or the perfect storage for tiny hair clips.

But enough about the lunchbox. Hank & JoJo’s set included four pairs of tube socks: Strawberry, Banana, Pear and Blueberry. The socks are made using 80% bamboo, which is grown without the use of chemicals and has natural UV protection. Dyed with toxin-free dyes, these little socks were designed for babies ages 0 to 12 months. The socks actually go up over the knee protecting legs and knees during tummy time and crawling. You can also use them like you would leg warmers—in warmer weather pair a pair with a onesie for quick and easy diaper changes.

When the pairs first arrived I was a bit sad because my youngest just turned two. I figured we would get very little use out of our Hank & JoJos until I realized these socks with their tube design means even older babies can wear them! Livi has already sported the Pear and the Strawberry. You can check out the Pear in the photo below. Trust me, I tried to get her to look at the camera and smile but what can you do when Yo Gabba Gabba! is on? Though they don’t go over her knee the do get close to it. Once washed the heel ends up about mid sole but because they’re so soft she doesn’t even notice. And I love that they’re the perfect socks for wearing with nightgowns—they keep her legs warm when her nighties ride up. Plus they’re great under jeans in cold weather!

I love anything that works for multiple ages and is stylish and eco-friendly and makes a great gift and has super cute packaging. Perhaps that’s why I loveHank & JoJo so much. But one more reason comes to mind: each purchase of Hank & JoJo Retro Baby Tube Socks “ensures that The Tiny Miracles Foundation, Tiny Treasures Program, is able to include on pair of Hank & JoJo socks in each Homecare Starter Kit for parents and premature infants release from Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport Connecticut NICUs.” Now THAT’S cool.

Priced at around $30 for the box set, Hank & JoJo Retro Baby Tube Socks make a wonderful gift for the holidays and post-holiday showers. ‘Tis the season for giving, and with these babies you’ll be giving two gifts at once. Totally tubular, baby! (Forgive me, I couldn’t resist…) –Emily

Hank & JoJo {GIVEAWAY}

Let’s discuss packaging prior to chatting about product today.  I immediately emailed Sarah when this product arrived in the mail, and I hadn’t even opened the packaging yet!  It arrived in it’s own little tin lunch box.  So, the product is the contents BUT the packaging can be used as well of course!  You don’t know how many tin lunch boxes are floating around my house with marbles, cars, army men, puzzle pieces, Dominoes, all those fun little things shoved in them for easy storage and easy access.  I love it!  I give Hank & JoJo a HUGE thumbs up for their awesome presentation!  Now on to the actual product…

Precious right!!  4 pairs of unisex brightly colored tube socks!  There is not one child in this world that wouldn’t look absolutely adorable in these!  For warmth under pants in the Winter, for style under skirts in the Spring, sun protection in the Summer, rug-burn protection all year round; no matter the season, no matter the outfit, these are the best accessories to have!  One size fits all from 0-12 months, keep the little babies warm and the toddlers looking cute!

Made from Bamboo, Hank & JoJo socks are super soft and chemical free, and of course machine washable!  These will last you the whole 12 months {and than some…my Aidan is 18 months and can still wear his samples!}  AND, remember the packaging…that tin lunch box {which by the way is lead and toxin free of course} may last you longer than the socks.  It’s a win win!  Purchase here and see Hank & JoJo in our Ultimate Holiday Guide {Green Section} as well!!

Socks in Box

I'm constantly on the lookout for fun little gender-neutral baby gifts. (I mean, what is it with all these moms who "want to be surprised" anyway? Can't everyone be as impatient as I am?) 

One of my favorite new finds are the adorable bamboo-blend newborn sock sets from mom-run Hank & Jojo. These bold, stripey, retro, White Shadow-era knee-high socks come four to a box and by box, I mean one of the cutest reusable lunchbox-style containers you've ever seen. 

But don't just buy them for the box. Buy them because everyone will ooh and aah and coo over them at the next shower you attend and you'll look like a gift-giving star. -Liz 

Find the newborn sock sets at the Hank & Jojo online store 

EXTRA-COOL: WIN IT! We're giving a set of these socks away to a lucky US reader drawn at random. Email contests@coolmompicks.com by midnight tonight with HANK & JOJO in the subject, and tell us two of the five reasons to wear these socks, according to the website.

Here is what they had to say:

Tube socks seem to be making a comeback. I recently saw this somewhat disturbing trend on teenage girls while we were on vacation. While I don’t care for the look on adults, it is pretty cute on wee ones. This Hank and JoJo Retro Baby Tube Socks set lets you and your baby get in on the fun. It features four colorful pairs made from Bamboo using toxin-free dyes all packed in a sweet little lunchbox. You can purchase the set, which would make a great gift, for $30 at modernmoppet.com.
