Right, you can buy the underwear just not gift wrap the sh*T-lol

I actually like getting underwear and other useful clothing items for Christmas. It just means I don't have to buy them myself.

My grandparents almost always give us socks as part of our stockings, but they didn't this year...

I won't buy it for someone as like a major gift, but I have bought it before as like, either a gag gift (funny boxers) or as stocking stuffers...

I HATE getting it, but unfortunately, that's about all I got this year from my husband....not good stuff or anything, either....just kinda "bland, I didn't really feel like thinking" stuff

Oh well.

Hey, if you need underwear, you need underwear. Why buy it yourself when someone else can? That stuff can get expensive.

And yes, I gave underwear and undershirts as gifts this year. We do it a lot.

I gave my mom underwear from Victoria's Secret, LOL. Just the basic cotton ones though.

I get it sometimes... a load of socks and gloves though from people that don't give as much; but from close relatives I got better items.

Um, my sister's husband -- that's my brother-in-law for these of you who aren't sure how this works... Anyway, my BIL had one hell of an awful and difficult childhood when he was growing up. Before last year, the last actual Christmas he had was when he was 3 years old (1984).

He came down here for Christmas with us last year, and we gave him a ton of underwear and socks. And guess what? HE LOVED IT. He hadn't had a real Christmas in 21 years, and we gave him a damn good Christmas last year. So, dammit, if people want me to give 'em underwear for Christmas, I'll give 'em some. Think about it -- underwear is always in supply and there are a million different varieties.

For those of us guys who are too lazy to shop for clothes, getting underwear to replace the old ragged falling apart underwear isn't a bad gift.

TJL · 12-26-2006, 04:58 PM

Once again, my Mother gave the grandkids some underwear and socks, and they loved it. It's a fun tradtion that I hope they pass on to thier families when they grow up.

Exactly. I got some nice thermal socks from my sister. A much appreciated item when you work outdoors.

[QUOTE=TVResearcher]"UNDERWEAR"

My dad asked for Boxers and when he opened his gift and saw they were boxes boy was he happy and I was thinking to myself how can he be that happy about a couple pairs of underwear I wouldn't want that for christmas. I can get them anytime I want something that isn't something I can get all the time.

I'm having a pair off boxers with Rudolph & Co. delivered to you at The Gaf.

vienna waits · 12-26-2006, 10:59 PM

i think i get boxers and socks every year, lol. i don't mind. i appreciate them.

FOLrocks1 · 12-26-2006, 11:22 PM

I got some boxer for Chrstmas from my mom. It was something I needed and I didn't think anything of it.

swedeace · 12-27-2006, 11:35 AM

In regards to giving underwear for Christmas. It's not really a big deal. Underwear is something people use, so it's better to get someone underwear than trying to stress out over what to get a certain person and them returning or re-gifting your gift, right? Underwear is something everyone can relate to. I mean, think about the variety, shapes, colors, and preferences of underwear.
