CrimeReads | Holiday Gift Guide

If you’re searching for Christmas gift ideas for crime lovers, mystery fans or Bond enthusiasts, you’ll find us in excellent company this year. The London Sock Exchange has been featured in the 2025 CrimeReads Holiday Gift Guide, where the editors have rounded up more than 30 of the best holiday gifts inspired by mystery, crime and thriller stories.

Every year, CrimeReads’ Olivia Rutigliano curates a guide full of unique gift ideas from independent, design-led businesses – and socks from The London Sock Exchange have been recommended more than once. This year, the spotlight fell on our latest Bond-inspired release: The GoldenEye Collection.

Here’s what she had to say:

“I love the London Sock Exchange, and recommend some of their products every year. Perhaps you purchased from the Goldfinger collection last year.

Well, this year, they’ve released a new series: the GoldenEye collection.

They even have one of Boris, Alan Cumming’s oily computer villain, hunched at his desk.”

The GoldenEye Collection is part of our ongoing 007 collaboration – a series of James Bond–themed socks inspired by iconic moments, colours and characters from the films. Each pair is knitted from sustainably sourced combed cotton, crafted on 200-needle machines for exceptional detail, and hand-finished for comfort.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift for crime fans, a stocking filler for Bond enthusiasts, or simply something unexpected for the mystery-lover in your life, our GoldenEye socks might just be the perfect clue. After all – when it comes to gifting, great socks always crack the case.
