Recently my Step father (which I've always considered as my father and he considers me and my other siblings his children) has come into a great deal of money, when I was growing up we were often homeless and facing hard times, but within the last 3 years he's become a multimillionair, and started 3 businesses with a fourth pending. Since this has begun Christmas presents have been upgraded to say the least. We're getting stuff we wouldn't have dreamed of when I was a kid.
Yet, I don't know, my parents still bought me presents (even though I'm an adult which I feel weird about honestly), and had me open them. And amongst all the nice things they got me, literally the thing I got most excited about was that they got me not one, not two, but THREE packs of socks!!! To me, this was the real jack pot, as soon as my boyfriend and I got home I ditched the new jewelry box and waffle maker and went to bust open a pack of my brand new socks! Does anyone else prefer these kinds of gifts? Expensive stuff just makes me uncomfortable and worry that even if it's expensive I might not use it, but SOCKS? I got at least 3 weeks of BRAND NEW socks.

It's the same with my boyfriend. He won't let me open my presents from him until tomorrow, but literally all I asked for was a heated blanket. Though this is more than usual, usually I just want a plain old soft blanket. Or pillows. I like pillows.
