Polishing the wooden furniture,also shoes.
I read somewhere that you can put socks over your shoes to walk on icy surfaces.
Hand puppets, emergency mittens, cat toys...

Yes, I think we've all encountered the lost sock phenomenon. I have a lost sock drawer, always hoping that someday the match will show up!
