Do you like getting Socks as a gift?

As a kid I used to think they were a rubbish gift but I appreciate them now as an adult 😂

I buy my grown up son, underwear and socks every year as stocking fillers 🙂 Not exciting but useful. I do try to make the socks interesting, star wars etc

beccatavender I do the same socks and underwear in the stocking and it’s become a bit if a tradition now as he expects them in there! Plus it saves his apprentice wage from buying theses.

It depends. Fun socks or unusual socks are fun. Socks given thoughtlessly is just pointless and lazy - better off just giving them the money for the value of the socks

No I don't see a issue with it at the end of the day it's the thought that counts some people are just ungrateful

Yes, I love socks as a gift especially the cosy style ones. Cosy socks and slippers great I’d rather be given them than chocolates or something else I wouldn’t use

Tog socks only so keep my feet nice and warm as I can't stand the finn pair as it feels like my shoes will fall off

No-one buys me socks but I have given them as a present to others. Each time they have been well received and definitely worn again, especially the alpaca wool socks which I am told are really warm.

I always like to receive fluffy bed socks- nice and warm at night. Might buy my niece a pair with some hot chocolate gift.

Yeah love them, anything like that that saves me the hassle of having to get them myself is great.

Obviously not very exciting but definitely practical

Socks cushion the feet… as I grow up I realize it more than just an accessory but a tool in the cold season

If people want to buy me socks then fine but cant say I am a fan! Not sure how many socks I have as they all go into one big tub and I just grab a couple as I need them - never bothered about them matching either!

I don’t mind receiving socks as I go for long walks. This cold weather makes me want to have thermal socks. Tried a few shops but they are sold out.

I'd rather have socks then some other things that'll sit until it goes to charity. Only because Socks get used. They get holes and fall apart eventually
