They're such pretty socks Biggles!

I'm going to ask the post office this week how long it takes for a package to get there... btw we're still wrapping our socks in either stripes or dots right? I have some awesome striped wrapping paper!

Ha ha, I think we might all be a bit barmy (in the nicest way of course!!)

Have also just done a quick google search and he is apparently uk size 11, if that helps in the great sock purchase. Seems there is nothing google doesn't know!!

Big socks, right.
And crazy socks! So here are mine - and I guess if he is in his right mind, he'll never wear them in public.

They are possibly the most amazing socks I have ever seen!!!

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 4, 2014 2:40 pm

The most amazing socks for the most amazing Cumberbatch.

**Posted by rebeccaholmes** March 4, 2014 2:42 pm

Trsut me, I would be extremely happy to receive those socks!

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 4, 2014 2:45 pm

Okay, so maybe I should write in my letter "Dear Benedict, if you don't like the socks, please forward them to rebecca, she'd be extremely happy to receive those socks!"...?

**Posted by rebeccaholmes** March 4, 2014 2:49 pm

Hell yeah! Definitely should be added to the letter.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** March 4, 2014 2:59 pm

I think I'm in love with those socks!!

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 4, 2014 3:08 pm

*whispers* You can order them online, Phantom...!

rebecca, I'll think about it...

**Posted by clareiow** March 5, 2014 9:08 am

Brilliant socks Solar! Love those!

So we have a master list, an agreed date for arrival and Rebecca's logo to put on the gift tag?
I'm at work so I don't have time to go through the thread but do we have a generic message we are all sending? And are we all wrapping in stripey or spotty paper?

I'm so excited about this, I just want to send them!!

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 5, 2014 11:17 am

I did suggest some sort of identical message with a bit of individual stuff in it as well, but I'm not sure we've agreed on this. I'll just post it again:

Dear Benedict,
