At John’s Crazy Socks, we have a mission to spread happiness. Ask John how to achieve happiness and he will tell you: “Do for others and have gratitude.” In that spirit, we held our second annual 12 Days of Giving during the first 12 days of December. Each day, we highlighted the work of a charity partner and raised additional funds by donating $1 from every order to that charity partner.
John’s Crazy Socks reached our 5th anniversary on December 9, 2021, and to celebrate, we hosted an Open House Party and Pop Up Shop on Saturday, December 11, 2021. If we were going to have a party, we wanted our supporters and customers to join in the fun. After all, they are the ones who make everything possible.
