Wow, great websites this edition…SnappyFingers is a great concept, and so isn’t Meetways…thanks once again.
What do you guys think of high end personalised socks. One can order them from this unique company - http://www.MyFavouriteSocks.com
I really like the idea, though I think you need to get more options to choose from. Stripes, different, bright colors, more sock types etc.
Thanks man.
(Comments wont nest below this level)We are certainly looking to expand the range.
Watch this space.!
I guess its about time one can personalised everything including socks. Great site but would the ship Overseas.
