I'm not all that skilled or patient at crafts but I'd like to do something that might be sort of easy/amusing with the thousands (slight exaggeration) of hole(y) socks and spare socks that I have. I have now kicked my dirty habit of taking hotel hand lotion (lie I just came home with 9 from my recent trip to Las Vegas but I swear it's the last time I do that). I probably have around 75 of those small bottles of lotion. Of course, this suggestion sucks if you don't have dogs.

I've never heard of putting dog treats in socks I do have a dog brilliant thought. Most of the socks are spare Coby Fleener Colts Jersey and the ones with holes are beyond darning as those ones are wearing thin as well.

If the lotions have been opened, and won't be accepted by shelters, another option is to give them away on Freecycle. I do that all the time, when my clients do a cleanout.

Be careful about putting pet treats in socks. I have a cat who will swallow an entire sock. Yes, I found this out the hard way. If a cat will do it, I can only imagine some dogs will do it faster.
