-If you want to protect a precious vase or your bobble head collection, wrap it up! Slip the item into a sock to help protect from breaking or chipping.
-When kids insist on bringing along their favourite old sneakers on holiday, cover each one with an adult-sized sock before throwing them in the luggage, to protect the rest of the clothing from dirty smells.
-Protect your precious delicates in the washing machine by first slipping them into a sock and tying the ends.
-A large, old, soft sock makes a perfect hand mitt for buffing or waxing your car.
-Does your child’s favourite stuffed fuzzy need a bath? Slip small stuffed animals into a sock and tie the end to prevent buttons, eyes, and other decorative items from coming loose.

-Slip the old sock on your hand and use it to dust around your home or polish your shoes. Dusting with a clean, used sock allows you to get into tight corners and places that you might not ordinarily be able to get to. You can also slip an old sock onto a yardstick to clean under the refrigerator.
-Fill a sock with uncooked rice and sew shut to use for heat therapy. Make sure that the sock doesn't have any holes in it. Simply pop the sock in the microwave for as long as it takes to warm up the rice and place the sock over aching muscles or places that you want relaxed.
-Make sock puppets for the kids to play with. You can glue or paint on facial features or anything else that you want included. Get creative by making alien puppets or animals. Kids will love getting to create their own puppet and it makes a good rainy day project.
-Put catnip in the toe area of the used sock, sew it up and give it to your cat to play with. You'll want to roll the sock back over itself several times so that your cat won't put a hole in it right away. Add a ribbon or string to the balled sock to give your cat a little extra something to play with.
-Place a bar of soap in the sock and tie it to an outdoors faucet for easy clean-up. This makes it easy to wash your hands and feet outside before tracking dirt and mud inside.
-Tie several socks together with large knots for a cheap dog toy or stuff some socks and sew them in a circular pattern to make a dog bed. These are particularly useful for dogs that go through toys and beds quickly.

-Cut off the toes and put the socks around the knees of crawling babies. This will help protect those delicate knees from hard surfaces and carpet burns.
