The post has just arrived with an envelope addressed to me from Bam Clothing. The envelope contained a pair of bamboo socks. A lovely free gift and the 3rd pair I have received.

Whilst free socks are always welcome I had just stocked up on Joules bamboo socks - but what is it about?

Shall I tell them to stop or open a sock shop?

Don’t knock it!
When pandas rule the world bamboo may be in short supply.

I received socks from Bam last week - stripy ones- I have never ordered anything from this company either.

Never so no to a freebie though ?

Note to self, get on this mailing list. hmm

I did order a vest from BAM for my son a few years ago so am on their mailing list. I've had my second pair of nice stripey socks! I guess, as their clothes are quite pricey, this method of marketing must attract enough business to be worthwhile. I won't turn down free socks!

Boden once sent me a box of five pairs of lovely socks worth twice the sale item I’d bought. I split them for the girls’ Christmas stockings. smile

I love bamboo clothing but sadly my feet don't like the socks. I will look on their site though as I've not heard of them. Freebies would be gifted around the family.

They're very successful in my family. Before the freebie I'd never heard of them. Now I have - and it's to their advantage grin

I had some bamboo socks bought me a few years back and like them but I have socks coming out my ears so haven’t bought any more

Oooh, I want some! Are bamboo socks any good btw?

I've had bamboo socks from Boots, but sadly not a freebie!

I have bamboo socks from Sockshop. I bought them originally because they have nice soft tops that don’t cut off my circulation. They’re very comfortable, but I find they wear out more quickly than socks I’ve had before. The second lot I bought from Sockshop (they arrived yesterday) are thinner than the first ones.
