Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'grippy' (non‑slip) modifies 'sock', and the compound 'grippy sock' specifies the kind of 'vacation', so a holiday characterized by wearing cozy, non‑slip socks is directly inferable from the parts. This modifier+noun+noun pattern is a straightforward descriptive construction found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would understand the intended meaning.
Etymology
Grippy sock vacation creates a simple image: someone staying at home in comfy clothes and wearing grippy socks, socks with little rubber dots that stop slipping while they relax. Because the image is about a small, cozy break without travel, the phrase means 'a comfortable holiday spent at home'.
