In this edition of The Gift, we gush about some gushy socks. Plus: more gifts for people who love sleep and a few homemade gift ideas we love. I wear the same socks every night to bed. The ones I wear, of which I own many pairs, are soft, cute—and also make the perfect present. Let me explain. I love sleep, but I’m bad at it.
