Fortunately we've reached the point where we can have the adult discussion and buy our own "main" presents or make it clear what we want. Then they tend to get handed over for wrapping and safe keeping. We're both so "technical" in what sorts of things we like, that even with some idea of the right sorts of things to consider, we'd each inevitably make sub-optimal choices. Then we pick up a few small "randoms" for the surprise aspect.
I never buy socks. There's one type of sock I've always worn. Either my mom or nan buy me a few pairs. Wonderfully comfortable and durable. Had them since I can remember.
Last year I never recieved any.
It actually made me feel sad, seriously. I got some nice gifts from people, useful stuff. Apart from one of my cousins, but that's one of the things I look forward to at Christmas. She buys the strangest things. I appreciated it all.
The feeling that the lack of socks gave me was quite strangely disturbing. Routines, lol.
