True story. It took me a couple of hours to settle into the the realization that yes that was the gift and no there wasn't something puny or extra coming my way. That was just it. Socks.

From one of the few people who know ne best and could've gotten me anything.

Still not sure if there's and what's the message behind the socks.

You can literally reverse these pictures once you are over the age of thirty.

In my 20s currently. I only got socks and underwear and I am very pleased about it.

Good quality socks as a gift is awesome.

You wouldn't spend โ‚ฌ20 on a pair yourself. But that is totally inside a gift budget.

Unpopular opinion: receiving Spocks is awesome! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Oh, is that not what it was? Well, I'm sure the "socks" are fine too! ๐Ÿ˜œ

The only gift I got was my dog puking on my comforter at 5am. I'd cry tears of gratitude if someone bought me socks.

Update: My HOA president left a baggie of dog treats at my door, addressed to my dog from her dog. He loved them and is now passed out in front of the fireplace. โค๏ธ Merry Christmas all!

Sad story about her mental health. Hope she's doing better.

[-] Atrichum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Alpaca or wool socks are some of the best gifts you can get!

[-] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 8 points 1 day ago

I got 15 pairs of socks this morning. It was a pretty good haul!

I had to tell people stop getting me socks when I filled a second sock drawer

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I buy all my own socks, so I only have one kind of white sock and one kind of black sock. I do this so putting away the laundry feels a lot easier for me. I was getting a little overwhelmed before with searching for each sock's mate every week.

Ain't nobody better give me socks. No way am I using those foot prisons.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 5 hours ago

Socks are like little blankies for my feets.

Reminder, Kes is only like 2, at that age, getting only socks would suck.

[-] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 5 points 1 day ago

I'd love some Bombas.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago

In my defense, I was gifting slipper socks.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
