Fortune-Telling Baby Socks

Sweet Infant Footwear Inspired by Chinese Take-Out

— January 11, 2009 — Unique
I wanted to bless my lucky socks when I came across these.

Each oh-so-cute take-out box contains two pairs of white and one pair of red socks, each with individual fortunes printed on the bottom. There are even fortune cookies included for mom, dad or auntie!

With messages that include “You Will Sleep Through the Night...Soon,” who can resist? Not me!
