If it all goes down and Armageddon is upon us, you'll want to be in the safest possible place to wait out World War III — and that place is probably Switzerland. In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar, "It's a trap!". As in, the entire country is a trap.

Since their launch over ten years ago, Bombas has been dedicated to making high-quality clothing — first just socks, now tees, underwear, and more — while providing the same essentials to people in need. This holiday season, they're offering up to 15% off select packs while donating an essential clothing item to those in need for each item purchased. From Performance ankle and no-show socks to slippers and boxer briefs, their men's line has you covered, and there are options for ladies and kids. Their gift boxes remove the need to wrap — socks don't play well with wrapping paper, after all — and new customers can save an additional 25% off all socks, with free shipping for orders $125 and up.
