      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?

      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.

    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.

        Very similar story here. There really is nothing like a drawer full of good quality, fresh, springy socks.

      I’m 25 and a nice pair of socks and good undies fills the void in my soul like nothing else could.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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 never have enough socks. I always need more socks. Fun ones, though.
