From Woman's Day. Besides keeping your feet warm here are some clever uses for long socks:

Ease neck tension: Create a neck pillow: fill a long sock with 2 cups of rice and a few drops of lavender essential oil, then secure it with a tight knot. Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds for an aromatherapy treat.

Protect your valuables: Use knee socks to pack fragile things, like glassware and ceramics, during a move.

Clean your floor: if you're out of refills and need something in a pinch, slip a long sock around the base of your sweeper to whisk dust away.

Retrieve dropped items: Slide the end of a vacuum hose into a sock to pick up screws, nails, or earrings without losing them.
