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!"
I get tired of it, because I don’t need socks every year. My stuff lasts. I end up with too many socks. It’s like buying me a new pair of shoes or something. Like uh no, those last me 3-5 years. Those are utilitarian purchases that are made less often
Exactly. Thought it dumb when I was younger, but now it's a great thing!
Makes me wonder how old OP is?
My dad gets us happy socks for Christmas lately, it's awesome. I don't need to buy socks anymore
Only if they're comfy tho
Fuck, I must be old then. I love socks as a present
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.

You've doxed your age with this one. Socks are by far the best gift you can possibly get.
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 need some wool socks, bro.
I do need those socks and underwear, I'm never buying it myself
I haven't bought any clothes in like 2 years. I just ask for them on christmas. Thanks female family members!
why are people mad? My socks are always getting holes in them plus it's extra nice if you get cute socks with designs on them!
Holy tities
I’d take a steaming dump betwixt them.
Darn Tough? Gimme
Just bought a few of the work tube socks, and they are absolutely fantastic
Nah mate, Injiniji Toe socks all the way
They're like a soft glove for your feet
Merino wool socks are good tier presents
Hmm, what brand? Mine feel like they are meant for the feet, but after like a few weeks/months of walking I had holes in them. From Dilling as its the only Mulesing free brand here. So I only wear then in shoes and outdoors, when my foot want do be extra comfy
Darn Tough come with a lifetime warranty. If you get holes in them, you mail them back and they ship you a new pair. Just beware of counterfeits. I have 4 pair and will only wear them to work where I'm in boots and on my feet climbing ladders and shit for 12 hour shifts. My feet sweat a ton which used to cause red, itchy, gross feet. Now my feet are pretty normal. Is Darn Tough the only brand that works? Almost certainly not, but they also have that warranty that you seem to need. Each pair is like $20 because of that, but if you hike or work long hours on your feet, I think it's a worthwhile investment.
I seldom wear socks during the day because I always wear sandals. But putting lotion or cream on the soles of my feet at night, with socks so I don't slip and fall, is very good for moisturizing them. The socks also keep the moisturizer where it belongs, not on my sheets.
I wish I could wear flops everyday, but working in trades as well as snow in the winter make that a no go
At my current non trades job, a few of us started working in flops and winter is weird. You get them wet then go outside and they just freeze to the ground.
socks are great for keeping stains off your sheets. I use them all the time!
I miss my socks and underwear presents as an adult. I can't be arsed to go out and buy my own.
Murino wool socks are absolutely amazing.
I never have enough socks. I always need more socks. Fun ones, though.
Dang, that reminds me. I gotta update my wishlist. There's a set of toe socks I've been meaning to try out...
I've come to realize adulthood begins when your favorite Christmas gifts are socks and other clothes.
Like, bargain bin socks that are 8 pairs for $5, or novelty socks that are so thin you wear holes in them in two weeks? 100% agree. But a couple good pairs of quality socks are a game-changer, pair with a good pair of work boots and suddenly it's not even that bad being on your feet all day.
My mom always gives me food stocks as I literally dont need any stuff. Its great!
Dude have you not tried Bombas??
