Sock Ons They Rock

Keeping socks on babies feet is no simple task. Little kick, tug at the toes and they're off!

Sock Ons are clever little things that keep those socks on. The garment is worn over the sock and 'locks' it into place with a patent pending design.

Sock Ons have been awarded the baby industries most coveted prize for innovation. Sock Ons are an ingenious and trendy solution to a very annoying problem and are quickly becoming a necessary item that no baby (or sane parent) can do without!

Sock Ons have been invented by a mum of five little boys who always lost their socks!

Eowyn and Tyrus showing off the funky sock ons
No more lost socks hooray




















Tyrus was sent a pair of these to try in Navy, well they are FANTASTIC!
All of my children have had the same problem when they were born, legs that resembled chicken legs, really long but oh so skinny. Even the smallest newborn socks would only last a few minutes. Each time I picked them up out of the moses basket they would be sockless, but no more…
The sock ons are brilliant, they resemble Asa’s ankle straps that he uses when playing rugby, they are so little and light and fit over the top of the socks, holding them firmly in place and no more lost socks hooray.
Tyrus didn’t seem to notice that they were on, until last week and it is now a game to try and grab them, but he has as yet been unsuccessful in removing them.
Although now aged three months he does actually have a decent pair of legs and I am no longer worried that they will be unable to support the rest of his ever increasing size!
These nifty little gadgets are a must for any new mum and will save hours searching for lost socks.

To celebrate the launch of Bold 2in1 they have partnered with London fashion designer Olivia Rubin to create an exclusive floral print scarf. Olivia says, “Floral prints have burst onto the catwalk and into our wardrobes this Spring! Statement florals, and especially roses, in an array of colours and prints are the perfect combination for creating that chic summer feel. The stunning flower markets in London inspired my design for the exclusive scarf for the launch of Bold 2in1 Rose Blush and Peony, infusing all the vibrant shades into a key accessory to carry you through the summer season.”

Bold 2 in 1 Review


The new floral fragrance of Bold 2in1 brings together one of nature’s most delicate and perfectly scented flowers, the Peony, with the elegant aroma of Rose Blush. This beautiful fragrance is specifically designed to leave you feeling rejuvenated and uplifted after every smell of its fresh, floral scent. What’s more, the unique scent-release technology of Bold 2in1 will not only leave you feeling uplifted hour after hour wearing your clothes, but you’ll also experience indulging fragrance from your fabrics at every touch, even after three weeks storage in your wardrobe. Available from supermarkets nationwide.
In our household the most used item has to be the washing machine, closely followed by the Iron and Dishwasher, so I am always very happy to review anything that is related to my favourite pastime! I have no particular preference to powder, liquid, liquid-tabs, so long as it gets the family’s clothes clean and they smell nice and clean and fresh. Although with so many young people in the family, I do tend to opt for ones that are kind to the skin. I always use a conditioner with my washing except the Rugby Team’s Kit, and after using this powder I don’t think I shall use it to do the Sunday morning Rugby Wash. (I don’t think they would appreciate walking out onto the field smelling like a summer meadow!)
It has a very strong, flowery smell but not too sickly and the fact that it is 2 in 1, means that I didn’t have to spend more money on a fabric conditioner, when I took it out of the tumble dryer the clothes felt nice and soft, it also smells just as fresh a week later. When I opened the drawers in the children’s bedrooms there was a lovely smell of fresh flowers, and none of the children have had any sensitive skin issues. So I would definitely say this is worth a try, though not if you are a rugby or football widow, but on the family wash, then go for it.
