It may or may not be weirdness on your part (try using a comb? ;-), but I've never gotten or given socks for Hannukah, so it's not in my default. My mom tended towards giving books (paperbacks are cheap), little toys/puzzles, perhaps a sweater or shirt. The one gift I best remember (as being a Hannuka gift) is The I Hate Mathematics Book; still have it, too :-).
