Well completely unimaginative and "impersonal" then. I've got all the socks and shower-gel I could ever need and am more than capable of getting that sort of stuff any day of the week.;)

At least the scarf I got was something I would never have got around to buying, unlike socks and shower-gel.

 

Would've appreciated if you'd admitted to me that you were wrong for saying gifts are 'pointless'.

Haha, Wendys, the fastfood? xD

 

Yep. :disappointed:

Aww I'm sorry for you, I tried it once and it's even worse than Mc Do :D

One of the few things I like about Christmas is that its an opportunity to remind people you still think about them, with a card and a gift.

 

Absolutely, and imho it doesn't matter how trivial the present, it's definitely the thought that counts :)

 

I asked for socks this year, and I got them (nice ones too!) I was glad.

You... you actually asked for socks?

^Do you bloom blaum?

I got a shit load of socks this year.

They are all very cool too.

I hate plain boring socks.

I did not get any socks but I would have liked some stripped socks though

Whooo. I love socks that have seperate toes on them. :P

Socks are the most boring present imaginable. Classic example of buying a present "just for the sake of it". You might as well not bother at all.:dozey:

Uh, IMO you're wrong for two reasons. First of all, I'm pretty damn sure the 'motivational workbook' I got from my sister last year is the most boring present imaginable. Second of all, just because you don't like the present doesn't mean that the person didn't put any thought or effort buying it. :\

Those socks are different, as they are at least very distinctive and "decorative".;)

If it's an "unsuitable" present, clearly the person who bought it doesn't know you well enough and shouldn't be wasting their time and money.;)

@ Dee: Even Goliath can use that socks :surprised:

Stripped? You mean with a layer removed?:rolleyes:

so you can't give socks to people who don't like colorful, "decorative" stuff? :lol:

I got some socks with different black and white patterns on them :disappointed:

But I must say, they're really comfortable :smug: :shy:

I see Mark is still ignoring valid points, just like the good old days :lol:

Socks are actually not an extremely bad gift. I go through socks really quickly, and they get holes in them, and holey socks are really not cool at all.

LOL this thread is a win. I definitely got socks for Christmas and every person I've talked to so far received socks too. Mine were standard length, brown, green, gray. Very boring lol.

Plus, there's the concept of AWESOME socks, which many people do not consider:

warm socks with awesome patterns that are really comfy

hippy socks

stripy socks

toe-socks

socks that look like shoes

 

et cetera.

^ I've never seen toe socks before, they're pretty psychadelic! :o

Toe socks are awesome awesome awesome, just a pain to put on.

Last night it was really cold when I was trying to sleep and I was thinking about how some nice warm and fuzzy socks would have made a great gift and helped me fall asleep.

Toe socks are awesome awesome awesome, just a pain to put on.

 

lol agreed...

 

those socks that look like shoes are pretty cool :wacky:

Well I got purple and white/brown, purple, and gold Puma socks, and they don't feel that soft. But they are long.

 

Then I got "Dream Soles" socks. :confused: Anyway, they are all white with a different color around the ankle. I would say they are rather soft.

i got slipper boots.

That's the closest thing to socks i got.

 

i got that too! I'm wearing them right now. :)

my cat was originally going to be called socks because it looked like he was wearing white socks w/ his fur. but no names ever stuck so he doesn't really have a name :P
