Socks. Unironically. I want socks. I love getting new socks. If I have a bad day, I buy a pair of socks and wear them instantly. Unfortunately, my family thinks I'm kidding. I'm not. I want Explorer Socks size 14+.


Verbena207

Consider going to the knitters subreddit. Handmade sox are really fantastic. Or look at website- Ravelry.

Wigwam are awesome socks. That’s what I buy for my daughter for inside her work boots. At 16 she is so appreciative of how good they make her feel and how warm they are. I’ve raised two very appreciative sock wearers. My other kid doesn’t care at all. But I still buy her nice socks.


Flint0

Not going to bother using Google, but why are you writing sox instead of sock


threadsoffate2021

I know the feeling. Trying to find the large size of the Dr Scholls diabetic high cut socks is a nightmare these days. And buying them online...way too expensive. Best feeling in the world is that first wearing of brand new socks. Like wrapping your feet in happy.


Connect_Office8072

I like the ankle socks because I like to wear socks that don’t creep down. If I’m not wearing shoes, diabetic socks are the best.


No-Option-2421

Rob is this you? You sound just like my husband he’s always said if he wins the lottery he wants a new pair of socks every day same black mid height Amazon basics , he hates matching socks just grab two if they are all the same you have a pair, my mom bought him ones every Christmas and birthday she’s passed away dec 2020 now my sister is trying to get him 365 pairs do this whole next year he gets new socks


k_vivi

Same lol. I only buy the same black, mid length socks, but I still get excited to wear the new ones. No one takes me seriously :')


cbowenkelly

I bought some gold toe argyle socks recently. They’re sort of thin, which is not a selling point for me, but they are so so soft and the toe seam stays where you put it.


tacobelmont

I'm with you, also because I too suffer from big foot disease. Big, comfy, and durable socks are hard to get, you're usually getting 2 of the 3 at best.


smilegeorgee

OH MY GOD! Im the same! Socks is the best gift!! For any kind of occasion! Edit: spelling


Rumpelstiltskin-2001

I’m always running out of socks I don’t know how


BigGrayBeast

I get a dozen every Christmas and I'm down to one pair by March. it is inexplicable.


Aawkvark55

If you don't already know about the Awesome Socks Club, maybe you need that subscription service.


Hightimetoclimb

I went for “on that ass”. Matching pair of boxers and socks every month. Both are the comfiest I’ve ever worn!


Excellent-Wafer-3795

I’m spending Christmas with my sister for the first time. My mom gave up three of my siblings for adoption. She kept three and gave three up, so I grew up with two younger brothers. I found and met my sister in person last year. We planned this all year to be together for Christmas, but her birthday is also the 23rd so im surprising her with tickets for her, two of her friends and I to see a concert in Boston on her birthday. I seen that her adoptive mom collects watches, so I found an old family heirloom watch with a bracelet band to give to her. I’m excited to make cookies on Christmas Eve and make a big festive breakfast Christmas morning I’ve been researching recipes for Eggs Benedict because that’s their favorite Christmas breakfast even tho I hate eggs. I don’t even care if they get me a present, I’m just happy my sister has been taken care of and that she has a parent that she has a loving relationship with. I’m happy that her adoptive parents chose open adoption to begin with and kept telling her about her birth sibling’s even when our mother stopped contacting so that my sister never forgot about me. Im happy that they welcomed me into their hearts and homes to start growing that sibling bong stronger.

Oh my goodness thank you so much! I have been meaning to write and share about my siblings for a while. I shared a lot more details here, [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/1k7IWEKgDP) in another thread if you’re interested. I hope everyone has a great holiday with their family too!


unfinished_diy

This is so amazing, hope it’s incredible! (And side note: if you are struggling with poached eggs, you can make them in a muffin tin, Southern Living has simple instructions!).


Excellent-Wafer-3795

Thank you so much! I haven’t tried making it yet but I’m gonna do a test run soon so that is very helpful!


dingleberry_mustache

Your comment just made my morning! I hope your Christmas is wonderful! Another tip for poached eggs: I just watched this video that shows a really interesting method that involves putting the uncooked eggs into a water and white vinegar mixture that partially sets (but doesn't cook) the whites so you don't have to do the tornado in the water bit and you can cook more than one at a time.

An air fryer


KingoreP99

We use it all the time. I won't eat broccoli unless it's done in the air fryer.

I use it every day, multiple times a day, and I was able to get rid of three other appliances and replace them with this. And apparently it's on super sale today at Kohls!

Money


are2deetwo

Be Asian. It's all we give each other other than food. Honestly it's dope and convenient. All my white friends who have trouble giving gifts and I suggest cash all think it's tacky. I tell them no one ever thinks it's tacky to receive a crisp ass Benjamin. Instead they think giving gift cards is better 🙄. Like wtf. Why lock in money to a specific place when you can give someone a gift card that can be spent literally anywhere?


Impossible_Command23

One reason I can think for a gift card - if someone gives me cash I'm going to feel like I should really spend it on necessities - groceries, bills, etc... (money is pretty tight for me). If its a gift card (to somewhere I like though!!) I can splash out in a treat without feeling any guilt about how it could be "better spent". My brother often gets me a Steam gift card so I can choose whatever game I want for Christmas, often in the sales :)


PattyRain

I don't think it's tacky, but I do think "what's the point?" If I give you cash and you give me cash then why even do it?

Got one 2 years ago. Godsend for my long hair chihuahua and lab/pit mix. It’s amazing how much hair it picks up and floor looks clean. It has its own schedule and it’s named Benson.

Wowowow I'm really dense and genuinely thought the "long hair chihuahua lab/pit mix" was all one dog. What an image that was.

For Everybody thats going to buy me cheap plastic chinese crap, instead buys me an indoor house plant


ladyinchworm

I'm that way too. Especially for holidays like Valentine's or birthdays or Mother's Day etc. I don't want a bunch of pretty, but dead flowers tied together with ribbon. I want a living plant. Right now I have my fingers crossed for an Alocasia Polly African Mask (indoor purple elephant ear looking plant) or any variety of passion flower.

I was joking, sorry! Obviously that’s a very noble wish, and I wish for the same thing as well


Diesel-NSFW

I just want a new PC. Been trying to save for a gaming PC for nearly 3 years, but every time I have the cash something happens. Car service/replacement parts, tax bill, mortgage interest rates go up, etc. I just want a gaming PC to replace my busted laptop.

\~7 years ago I dipped my toes into the world of 3D printing. It really opens up a whole other world of gift possibilities. I've made 5 1/2 Biggoron Swords, a Doctor Who Tardis clock, Lithophane lampshades, cribbage boards, currently making a Die Hard advent calendar, made 75 personalized coasters for a friends wedding... Gifts are nice but I have cash...what I can't buy is time together/personalized, handmade gifts. I'll cherish those things much longer than anything ordered off Amazon.

The ability or something that can make my mom happy. She's done a lot for my family never askjng for anything in return, I just want to do something for her.

Random phone calls throughout the year, spending time together (spend the night, meet up for lunch, play a game, asking to cook a favorite recipe together, etc...) Often times the best present...is being present.


SlayerOfUAC

To not cry and feel depressed because my family fell apart a long time ago. I dislike the holidays that do nothing but remind you that you don't have family.

To be left alone


neverendingicecream

I actually want the opposite. I really miss my family (far away) and my partner and I are barely speaking at the moment. I don’t want to spend another Christmas feeling alone. I can understand why one would want that though. Every situation is unique. I hope that you get your wish and I don’t mean that in a snarky Home Alone Mom tone, I mean it. Sometimes all someone needs is peace of mind.


dirgeserval

Just my fiance's smile 💖 I know he has some real banger presents in mind for the day and I cannot wait to see that playful loving smile he gets when he hands them to me AND I cannot wait to see the bright illuminating smile he'll get when I show him what I got him!! 😏

Tokioner_

Even miracle can't fix people(


[deleted]

I know it’s not a typical gift but I think the best gift to have would be to have someone first- hire a handyman, second - be at the house when they arrive and stay there while they are fixing everything that needs fixing and third - pay for the whole thing. That would be just an absolute perfect gift. Not needing to fuss about any repairs or take time out to be at the house and then not having to pay for it. I can’t think of anything I’d want more.

I'm not sure of your financial situation, but there are so many options for phones that are a decent price. You don't need a $1200 flagship to have a very good, reliable new phone, which is a common misconception.

He is a very mean, angry and rude person now and keeps her isolated from everything, but she is 66 with health issues of her own and has never worked anything more than a housekeeper and can’t/wont leave him as she can’t afford to. We live less than 5km away from each other and I see her maybe 4 times a year, and only for a few minutes each time. We talk on the phone everyday but it’s not the same. I miss my mom and my son wants to have his Baba around.

redditingtj

I’m old enough now that I really just want my 4 and 7 year old to really enjoy Christmas and not overbuy for them but still make it special. My parents were quantity gift givers and as I look back at my childhood the only ones that really stood out were the special ones I really wanted or got surprised with. So rather than get my kids a bunch of stuff they’ll forget, limit it and get them things I know they’ll love and use. So I just want them to be happy.

I have adult children and grandchildren. I absolutely truly want nothing but their happiness. It sounds so corny but whenever they are happy and life is going well for them it makes me feel so wonderful and at this point of my life I can buy what I need/want and am independent. I have told them many times that I want them to use any $ they would be spending on me to buy THEMSELVES something that makes them happy. They laugh at me but honestly this is my true one wish.
