    Good quality socks as a gift is awesome.

    You wouldn’t spend €20 on a pair yourself. But that is totally inside a gift budget.

    The only gift I got was my dog puking on my comforter at 5am. I’d cry tears of gratitude if someone bought me socks.

    Update: My HOA president left a baggie of dog treats at my door, addressed to my dog from her dog. He loved them and is now passed out in front of the fireplace. ❤️ Merry Christmas all!

    Oh, is that not what it was? Well, I’m sure the “socks” are fine too! 😜

      I bought myself 2 pair of alpaca wool socks and it was like low grit sandpaper on my heels.

      But then again that’s my own fault for buying them on amazon

        Odd, guess theres a lot of variability to such things. I have an alpaca hoodie which is a bit scruffy but I wouldn’t describe it as sandpaper at all. My alpaca socks are some of the softest things I’ve ever touched.

        I buy all my own socks, so I only have one kind of white sock and one kind of black sock. I do this so putting away the laundry feels a lot easier for me. I was getting a little overwhelmed before with searching for each sock’s mate every week.
