The older you get, the more excited you get for socks as a present.
128Yeah! 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!"
27I 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?16This. 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.
7Only if they're comfy tho
3My dad gets us happy socks for Christmas lately, it's awesome. I don't need to buy socks anymore
3Fuck, I must be old then. I love socks as a present

Hogwash! I love getting new socks. Last year, I got bright green socks with avocados on them. Glorious.

You just wait. You'll be 40 and loving free socks before you know it.
2640 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.
6Very similar story here. There really is nothing like a drawer full of good quality, fresh, springy socks.

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.
25Yep. 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.
23You need some wool socks, bro.
19I do need those socks and underwear, I'm never buying it myself
16I 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!
14Holy tities
12I’d take a steaming dump betwixt them.

Darn Tough? Gimme
11Just bought a few of the work tube socks, and they are absolutely fantastic

Merino wool socks are good tier presents
10Hmm, 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
0Darn 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.
9I wish I could wear flops everyday, but working in trades as well as snow in the winter make that a no go
4At 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.
8Murino wool socks are absolutely amazing.
7Dang, that reminds me. I gotta update my wishlist. There's a set of toe socks I've been meaning to try out...
6The German says: Add sandals.

I never have enough socks. I always need more socks. Fun ones, though.
6Like, 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.
4I've come to realize adulthood begins when your favorite Christmas gifts are socks and other clothes.
4My mom always gives me food stocks as I literally dont need any stuff. Its great!
2I don't like it when people get me stuff based on my interests. It's always the wrong shit or really bad shit.
