The older you get, the more excited you get for socks as a present.

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

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!"

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Thought it dumb when I was younger, but now it's a great thing!
Makes me wonder how old OP is?

Fuck, I must be old then. I love socks as a present

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.

I do need those socks and underwear, I'm never buying it myself

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

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!

Merino wool socks are good tier presents

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Rascabin@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Holy tities

[–] LoamImprovement 4 points 1 year ago

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.
