Our Daughter-n-law gave us the best gifts ever today. [View all]

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.
