I can honestly say I've never gotten socks for Hanukah. However, last year I got a hairbrush. I don't know where my mother was that she saw it and went "Oh, that'd be a great Hanukah present for one of my daughters!" but there you go.

A first edition of The Princess Bride???? SO JEALOUS. I have three copies- my first copy that has now fallen apart, my current 30th anniversary one that probably needs to be replaced soon, and a copy in Spanish. My friends always know that I'm having a bad day if I'm reading that book.
