Wearing slippers in the house

Well, it's that time of the year again! Which for me, means the time of the year to buy gifts for friends and family, and just like last year, and pretty much every year, I shall be buying new slippers for certain people, and I expect that I will (gladly) receive at least one pair in return as an ideal Christmas gift.

I know that new slippers are always gratefully received by (male) family and friends. This time of year, when it's getting colder, there is nothing better than coming home and taking shoes off and putting lovely warm slippers on!

I try and make my own 'everyday' pair last a year, knowing that I'll get some more soon. My family knows what style I favour, and they know I look forward to unwrapping a new pair each year. And it's always a pleasure to give new slippers as a gift to new friends too - especially those whom maybe aren't usual slippers wearers. I've never yet known anyone to be disappointed - quite the opposite, everyone I've given slippers to for Christmas has been delighted, and end up wearing them all the time in the house, just as it should be - shoes off (socks off too in many cases!) and slippers on, as soon as you come in! Not only do your feet stay lovely and warm and relaxed, but it keeps the floors clean too! What a great gift!

Absolutely correct. Growing up, we always got new slippers at xmas. My partner will be getting me new slippers as usual. She is really into slippers and gets them for all her family. They have been trained to put slippers on as soon as they get in. A very good habit.

Well, I can happily confirm that everyone whom I bought slippers for this Christmas was very pleased with them, and has since been wearing them gladly, just as I expected they would.

And just as well too, as it's been bitterly cold lately. It feels so good to have nice warm slippers to change into, waiting by the door.

And yes, mark is right - it is a very good habit to change into slippers as soon as you get in. One person I bought slippers for remarked as much, saying how the new slippers I bought his family will help to keep the floors clean! They were previously a family of mixed habits, sometimes in socks or bare feet, sometimes even shoes in the house (!) but have all settled down to wearing slippers now, and have (rightly) banned shoes beyond the porch. His kids were a bit reluctant at first, but have now got used to taking their trainers and and socks off, and putting slippers on when they come in. And good practice it is too!

As for me, I got a lovely new pair for Christmas too, which I'm currently wearing. Just in time as my old ones were starting to fall to pieces!

The most effective way to keep your floors clean is to wear slippers in the house. I have done this since childhood Yes I got new slippers this xmas. a comfy pair of clarkes sheepskin slippers.
