Our New Aliens

Introducing our new little aliens - aren't they cute? We had a bunch of socks that were going unused so we thought we'd see if we could come up with some new designs and these little fellas were created!

They're really cuddly and uber funky with floppy ears and dangly legs....adorable! Check them out at our online stores.

Anyone for a game of tennis?!?

Many of the buddies are excited coz it’s that time of year again....Wimbledon!!! Howie is a particularly keen tennis enthusiast and although isn’t great at playing (his arms are a little short!), he loves to watch! He’s looking forward to two weeks of sunshine, tennis action and some strawberries and cream!

As well as watching the tennis on TV, he also enjoys a good munch on a tennis ball!

Some of his sock buddy friends bet Goober that he wouldn’t fit into the tennis tube......of course Goober decided to prove them wrong,

but try as he might, he couldn’t seem to find a way in!

We're seeing Stars!

Here at eckel and noo we're always looking for interesting colours or patterns and this week we're loving our new starry designs! Check out Gertie! She's the newest addition to our collection and has just been added to our online stores.

"Gertie likes yoga, flamingoes, jam filled doughnuts and watching medical dramas. Her favourite word is 'freckles' and she dislikes surprises."

New Stock

We happily trekked up to restock a number of shops today with some freshly made sock buddies. They were all suitably impressed with their new temporary homes & look forward to some nice people coming by to give them a good squeeze.

If you fancy popping by and checking them out you can visit them at Canonteign Falls, nr Exeter or at Otterton Mill, nr Budleigh Salterton.

Update from Ellie

Sock Bunny Ellie was recently adopted by a great family. They were kind enough to send us a photo of her enjoying a day out at Venford Reservoir. Ellie was excited to catch up with a couple of other buddies her new family had previously adopted and see how they were doing. She's looking forward to settling in at her new home and is sure she's gonna be very happy!

Puck's Travel Adventures

Puck was very excited to be the first among his Sock Buddy friends to go on vacation - Las Vegas whoo-hoo! He took along his camera to take some pics for our blog. As you can see, he's quite the poser.

He enjoyed going on the open-top sightseeing bus, feeling the wind in his hair, he thought it was quite an adventure!

Snack time was always Puck's favourite part of the day! Although initially overwhelmed by the choice of coffee beverages, Puck soon became a coffee aficionado.

He developed quite a sweet tooth and enjoyed choosing out his afternoon pastry!

After sampling many of the coffee drinks on offer (a caramel machiato was his least favourite), Puck decided Iced Coffee was his coffee beverage of choice!

It didn't take too long before he got bitten by the gambling bug. He had to learn to budget his spondoolies and not get carried away. Althougth he only won a few dollars, to Puck he hit the jackpot!

Puck was very amused by the modern art and never missed an opportunity to get his photo taken!Now that Puck is home, he's very excited to show his Sock Buddy friends all his holiday snaps and tell them all about his adventures. He's even considering starting up his own blog!
