Our Daughter-n-law gave us the best gifts ever today.

[AverageOldGuy]

Our daughter-in-law handed us each a small soft package. Unwrapped them and there was one for each of us -- socks -- bulky, heavy, wool, handknitted in Ukraine. We were very pleased with the socks and then it hit us -- knitted, by hand, in Ukraine, sold on Etsy, very likely by someone whose Christmas is nowhere near as happy as ours.

And, no, this is NOT and ad for Etsy -- that's where she found them, there may be other sellers also. Her seller sends 85% of the purchase price to the knitters in Ukraine, rest is for shipping.

3. OH! Thanks for the tip. Daughter has a birthday in a few months

She has cold feet and also a big supporter of Ukraine, having purchases some items made by women there and even making internet friends there thru her efforts to learn a bit of the language. This will make great presents for her birthday!

Will be scouting Esty to see what I can come up with!

8. Under wool sweaters, I wear lightweight, long sleeve turtleneck liners

Under wool socks, I wear Cool Max liners.
These socks would look great with tights and my Birkenstocks.
I blister from the lanolin in the wool.
My sweaters are hand-me-downs from Mom.

9. Sweaters from Mom are the best. Unfortunately, I cannot even handle wool.

I'm allergic to over 100 things. The only thing that my multiple allergy tests have revealed that I am definitely not allergic to is feathers.

10. What store?

I have a bonus coming and I'd like to drop a few dollars. I want to get the right shop on Etsy. After paying a few extra bills I'd love to buy a pair for Adult Child. (once known as Baby Xmas in the early DU days)

13. I love the gift...

even more so she's supporting the Ukrainian women (I just assume that's who it was) that knitted them. What a wonderful, heartfelt gift all the way around. Let's hope we have more and more of that as the New Year rolls around!
