The older you get, the more excited you get for socks as a present.
Yeah! Who’s getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃
If people ask for gift hints I often say “fun socks!”
This. While being annoyed by one of my grandmothers giving me bed sheets as a birthday present when I was around 10. I now totally understand and like it. Haven’t really bought much clothes since ever, cause my mother and sister are currently fullfilling my grandmother’s task for years now xD And it’s nice to use the money I would have spent on clothes to buy me more tech stuff I really want.
For awhile that was the case for me, but now I buy fairly expensive toe socks and I don’t want my family spending that kind of money on me
Honestly the best gift I get from them during the holidays is them still associating with me
So many of them cut me out of their lives when they found out I was queer
I went from family gatherings with 50+ people like 7 or 8 times a year to gatherings of 3-6 people twice a year
Hogwash! I love getting new socks. Last year, I got bright green socks with avocados on them. Glorious.
40 year old checking in. My wife once convinced my entire family to gift me packs of the exact same brand and style of socks. She threw away all of my old and mismatched pairs.
It’s still one of the greatest Christmas gifts I’ve ever gotten.
I don’t like it when people get me stuff based on my interests. It’s always the wrong shit or really bad shit.
Just get me socks lol.
Yep. I like computer gear. The worst gifts are some niche crap like weird USB drives that I don’t need. Slightly better are gift cards to Best buy - but really the gear I need you can’t find there.
Socks are universal. Socks are love. Give me socks, then I don’t have to spend my money on socks.
You’ve doxed your age with this one. Socks are by far the best gift you can possibly get.
