Socks, fucking shit loads of socks, I had 42 pairs arrive the other day. I have a weird thing for socks (no not like that) and have bought everyone a pack of my favourite socks that don't seem to ever die (I have a 12year old pack that are still in great condition despite wearing them regularly).
Everyone gets a 5pack of my favourite, 1 pair of merino wool socks, and a box of sweets or chocolate depending on their taste.
Except for the children, they get toys and games too.
It's clichéd as fuck, but made my life easier and we all prefer focusing on the kids as it's their day really.

I too am an avid sock wearer...
Omg I would love a gift like that! What is this mythical brand of socks?
It's ueither but specifically ueither with horizontal patterns, any intricate designs don't last as long.
I bought a pack of 5 while at uni in 2011 and they're still going strong today, I have 10 others since then which are as good, but the one time I bought picture designs rather than straightforward stripes they lasted maybe 3-4 years, which still isn't horrible tbf.
There's nothing particularly special about them, they're 80% cotton, 17% polyester, 3% elastane. They just seem to last forever and feel great.
Awesome, thank you for the recommendations and the heads up! I'll definitely have to try some. Lately all my socks have been springing holes, so I'm excited to try some more durable ones
I just googled them and the first thing that pops up is their Amazon page saying they are a clothing company founded in 2016...
Potentially acquired the company I bought the first socks from at some point then. I found the exact socks I'd bought years later and ordered more pairs, might just be idemtical patterns and still good quality but the first set I had were definitely at university, which I graduated in 2012.
