How about what to tell your friends and family what you really want so you don’t get stuck with a bunch of socks. Everything on this list is affordable, gift-able, and better than underwear. So, grab this link and email it over to Grandma before she gets creative and ruins your holiday again.
PS: This also doubles as a great gift guide for that musician in your life! 😜
