Six people in the family (so far), and a load of laundry a day (at least). Now we need to invent something that sorts undershirts.

Maybe tiny ‘handcuffs’ would get my little ‘sheriff’ to put his socks in the hamper once in awhile!
3. Posted by Karen on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:13 PM (EST):
ok...it’d be great to win these...because I doubt I’d try them otherwise. Thanks for the opportunity!
4. Posted by Sarah on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:14 PM (EST):
Hi- Please enter me in the contest-- thanks!
5. Posted by Mary Beth on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:27 PM (EST):
I have a daughter with special needs who has a difficult time folding socks. I thought these would be great for during the laundry, AND afterwards in the dresser.
7. Posted by Michelle [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:32 PM (EST):
I hope the sock cops can help me keep all those little baby socks together!! Thanks!
8. Posted by Kristin on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:33 PM (EST):
These look great. I waste so much time trying to pair up DH’s black and navy work socks!
9. Posted by Dawn Adams on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:38 PM (EST):
These would be an awesome addition to my laundry room! They may even cause my giant mismatched sock box to become obsolete…
10. Posted by Sarah G on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:41 PM (EST):
Man, do I need these! I’ve been doing laundry all day and I keep finding a vast array of socks in very strange places...with no matches.
11. Posted by Mona Davies on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:48 PM (EST):
One laundry basket, entirely full of orphan socks! I don’t need the cops, I need the FBI!
12. Posted by Layla on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:48 PM (EST):
These look amazing—much nicer than the safety pins I’ve been using to keep all of hubby’s dress socks together through the wash.
13. Posted by Debbie on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:51 PM (EST):
Laundry help! Just in time for the start of a new school year! Yay!
14. Posted by Lindy Meyer [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:54 PM (EST):
These sound like a great too for my family of 8!
15. Posted by joann10 [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:55 PM (EST):
I would love to be a winner!!
16. Posted by Annette on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 9:58 PM (EST):
I’ve tried doing this sort of thing with safety pins, but they make small holes in the socks. These seem like they would work perfectly!
18. Posted by Caroline on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:02 PM (EST):
Cool! How did I miss your first write up about these? Please enter me!
19. Posted by Diane on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:15 PM (EST):
I would love to have the chance to thy these things. Please enter me
20. Posted by Kathryn K. on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:18 PM (EST):
This might be just the thing to help me not lose socks in the school laundromat.
22. Posted by Meredith on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:36 PM (EST):
I don’t have a great reason to win these, but I hear it’s a random draw so I don’t have to convince anyone! Pick me!
23. Posted by Sue W on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:36 PM (EST):
What a wonderful thing--I have so many single socks--keep hoping the missing one will show up!
24. Posted by Kristy on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:38 PM (EST):
I have four little boys worth of mis-matched and orphaned socks! I’d love to give these a try.
26. Posted by Barbara [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:43 PM (EST):
Those might keep my college freshman from losing every pair of socks he takes to the dorm!
27. Posted by Lauren on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:49 PM (EST):
My five year old would be so excited—he hates to match socks!
28. Posted by Carolyn A on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 10:52 PM (EST):
My husband has a ridiculous amount of socks. Really. I’d love to try these cops out.
30. Posted by Maria [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:01 PM (EST):
In my best efforts to starve the sock monster....
31. Posted by Jennifer C on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:14 PM (EST):
I live in the Bermuda Triangle of socks! Help!!!
32. Posted by Donna on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:21 PM (EST):
Thank you in advance for putting me in this drawing for the sock *officers*!
33. Posted by Kim [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:24 PM (EST):
FINALLY! Something that would end the “honey, where’s the other navy sock?” problem! :D
34. Posted by Rachel on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:30 PM (EST):
I’d love to try them out. Thanks for the chance to win!
36. Posted by Joan on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:32 PM (EST):
Boy could I use these! With 3 boys and a husband who wear at least 2 pair a day, we lose a lot of socks!!!!!!!!!! This was a great thing for you to do Danielle!
37. Posted by Kate Wicker [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:33 PM (EST):
Since my blog actually mentions searching for God (and runaway baby socks) in its header, how could I not enter this contest?
God bless!
39. Posted by Rachel Bostwick [website] on Wednesday, Aug 6, 2008 11:46 PM (EST):
Please enter me, these look really useful.
40. Posted by Michelle [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 12:02 AM (EST):
Oooo! I would love some sock cops...I am forever sorting and sorting…
42. Posted by Michelle on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 12:36 AM (EST):
I’m up for trying, yet another way, to sort my socks effectively! BTW, the kids know that will be their chore if they get into trouble!
43. Posted by Drake Tungsten on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 12:52 AM (EST):
Exactly what we need! Thanks for the chance. 
45. Posted by Janet [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 1:31 AM (EST):
I saw these and said maybe that would help a teenager keep track of his socks.
49. Posted by Robin on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 7:08 AM (EST):
I’d love to try these, as the “Sock Monster” is quite a menace at our house.
50. Posted by Mellanie on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 7:21 AM (EST):
I’ve been wanting to try these but always forget about them until I’m in the laundry trenches and grumbling to myself about how I can’t believe I forgot to order them.lol
51. Posted by Theresia on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 7:30 AM (EST):
OK. add me too. Maybe at least dh could have matching socks when he needs them....Thanks Danielle!
54. Posted by Andrea [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 8:43 AM (EST):
I heart the idea of Sock Cops!
56. Posted by Ouiz [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:11 AM (EST):
I would need a whole bucketful, but 4 would be nice to try! Please enter me in your drawing! Thank you!
57. Posted by Julie F. on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:12 AM (EST):
Those one-legged aliens on the Hanes commercials must be so disappointed that these have been invented, but the rest of us are overjoyed!
58. Posted by Majellamom [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:21 AM (EST):
-These sound great! Count me in!
59. Posted by Susan [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:28 AM (EST):
The chance to own more, colored plastic! Yippee!
60. Posted by evann [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:32 AM (EST):
I am tired of seeing my kids in mismatched socks! Help!
61. Posted by Mary on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:32 AM (EST):
wow! Why didn’t I hear of these sooner?! wow! I love them!!!
64. Posted by Patricia Johnson on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 9:56 AM (EST):
We’ve got 6 wonderful children in our family...can you imagine how many pairs of errant socks that is...??
:o)
66. Posted by Mary Brazeau [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:14 AM (EST):
If they don’t work we could all become Franciscans and only wear sandals.
67. Posted by Barb on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:17 AM (EST):
Anything to help keep those tiny toddler socks together!
68. Posted by Kristen Abbey [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:18 AM (EST):
You mean there is a way to prevent losing socks? Count me in!
69. Posted by Laura [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:33 AM (EST):
What a cute idea. I’d need about 100 of them to really keep track of all the socks around here!
70. Posted by ashlyn on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 11:00 AM (EST):
These seem worth trying. What a great giveaway.
72. Posted by Kerry on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 11:27 AM (EST):
These look great, and we have a real sock problem around here.
73. Posted by Ann on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 11:38 AM (EST):
There is only 3 of us in our house but I always seem to have at least 2 unmatched socks laying around. These would be helpful.
74. Posted by Frankie on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 11:42 AM (EST):
One of my goals when I retired was to simplify the laundry job, which I am sorry to say, continues past children leaving home! These would help!
75. Posted by Lori on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 12:12 PM (EST):
3 children and 1 husband, but as I runner I think I go through the most socks (especially because my kids love going barefoot!) I would love not to lost my favorite running socks.
76. Posted by Jessica [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 12:18 PM (EST):
I’d love to be entered! Thanks!!
77. Posted by Kim F. on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 12:47 PM (EST):
Darn it! I thought the contest was for Danielle to come to my house and do my laundry for me. Oh well, enter me anyway!
79. Posted by Leah [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 1:01 PM (EST):
Now to invent something that actually attracts the socks to the hamper from the bathroom, car, shoes, under the bed, pockets....
80. Posted by Charla on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 1:11 PM (EST):
I don’t mind doing the laundry - its the folding clothes and sock sorting part I could do without.
82. Posted by bobbi on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 1:16 PM (EST):
I have a problem only with my husband’s socks! The kids I try to do seperately with their own clothes-although I only have three-and the girlie girl socks are pretty obvious-these would be fun to try.
83. Posted by Lisa on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 2:02 PM (EST):
My family isn’t large, but we all wear a lot of socks that are similar in size and style, so I think these could help. Thanks for the offer, Danielle!
84. Posted by Kelly on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 2:19 PM (EST):
I have never heard of these! Would love to try them!
85. Posted by Erin Evan on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 3:15 PM (EST):
Please enter me in your contest. Thanks!
86. Posted by Lyn [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 3:19 PM (EST):
This will surely help with the multiple brands of white socks that are a pain to ‘re-match’ post-laundry
87. Posted by Marylu N. on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 3:36 PM (EST):
These will be great to try. I do think my lost socks problem though is getting them both to the laundry room at the same time in the first place! I have found so many behind the dressers, under beds, in between the sheets, . . . sigh! Thanks for the give away contest though - spark of fun on a Thursday afternoon!
88. Posted by Erin on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 4:09 PM (EST):
Hey, thanks for the product idea. I would love to give these a try. Thanks for entering me.
89. Posted by Marisa [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 4:13 PM (EST):
I’m willing to try them for free.
Thanks!
91. Posted by Josh from Ohio [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 4:25 PM (EST):
Sock Cops! I hope I win. My wife would love these things. You would think these things would melt in the dryer or something.
93. Posted by Pat on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 4:52 PM (EST):
I bought 4 sets after your recommendation and love them!! With 7 children, I could always use more!!
94. Posted by Maria on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 5:12 PM (EST):
Oh I hope I get picked! This will be a lifesaver to me pairing my husbands dark navy and black socks! I can’t wait!
95. Posted by Katy Hansen on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 5:17 PM (EST):
I’d love to win some sock clips. Although we wear few socks in AZ in the summer....
96. Posted by Kimberly L on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 5:27 PM (EST):
Oh these would be so helpful. Would also cut down on those sock monsters stealing the matching sock. What a concept.
97. Posted by Sarah on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 5:28 PM (EST):
My husband would love these! When I’ve begged for help with our boys’ socks, he hasn’t appreciated my method of matching the blue, red, or green “Hanes” logos on the toes, which correspond to sock size. So he put their initials on the ankles in black marker, fully visible for all the world to see.
98. Posted by Hannah on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 5:36 PM (EST):
I haven’t tried these before but they look pretty great. 
99. Posted by Trina Matthews [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 5:43 PM (EST):
dang I have been looking for these all my life (or at least all my life with kiddos!)
100. Posted by Lisa Curran-Crimp on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 7:12 PM (EST):
I’d love to try these! I’d keep those socks from running away from home!
101. Posted by Erin Hartsell [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 8:44 PM (EST):
I would love to give these a try...sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
102. Posted by Molly [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:01 PM (EST):
I just threw away a huge pile of unmatched socks that I’ve saved for seven years hoping that someday I’d find their matches. I think these things could save me a lot of time and money dealing with socks!
104. Posted by Sarah [website] on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:15 PM (EST):
I could sure put those to good use!
105. Posted by Sherry on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:17 PM (EST):
I was just telling my sister about these yesterday! What a great giveaway!!!
106. Posted by Julie on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:49 PM (EST):
Matching socks is the worst part of laundry for me!
107. Posted by Barbara on Thursday, Aug 7, 2008 10:51 PM (EST):
I have a basketful of unmatched socks. We could really use them.
108. Posted by Maura on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 1:29 AM (EST):
Wow—these look fun! I’ve never seen these before but I’m sure interested to try them out. My mom used to pin our socks together, but I’ve never really taken to that. These look simple, fun, and yes, very helpful! Thanks for doing this drawing!
109. Posted by Loretta [website] on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 2:21 AM (EST):
What a COOL idea! No lost socks!!
110. Posted by Linda Pepa on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 2:33 AM (EST):
well those look like the neatest thing! Please enter me into your contest give away! I could use a pair of these for sure, tiny kids socks are forever vanishing into the unknown around here.
Linda
111. Posted by Judy King on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 7:28 AM (EST):
Are these sold in stores too? I saw the link several weeks ago but didn’t order then. Would love to win also........thanks for the chance.
Judy
113. Posted by Felicia on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 8:37 AM (EST):
These sock things ROCK my world, and I KNOW they’d rock my daughter’s world, as she has a family of six, including four children whose socks probably go to the black hole that sucks up one of the pair, but leaves the other.
116. Posted by Pat M. on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 10:24 AM (EST):
If these little guys can help keep track of those elusive socks, I would be so appreciative! Good luck everyone!
117. Posted by Michele Simpson on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 11:00 AM (EST):
wow there are a lot of entries. someone said they needed the FBI to find matches for their basket of onsies socks, well not only do I have a basket full I have a second basket I need to match, I would love the help with 10 kids socks are neverending along with laundry
118. Posted by Joni [website] on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 11:33 AM (EST):
These would be great! I do at least one load of laundry a day. Thanks for the giveaway!
119. Posted by betty on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 11:47 AM (EST):
What an GREAT idea! I wish I had thought of ‘Sock Cops’!!! EVERYONE needs these things!!! They will make laundry days sooooo much easier!
120. Posted by WintrySum on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 1:39 PM (EST):
That just might work well for us!!
Good Luck everyone!
121. Posted by Amanda Sagastume on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 1:51 PM (EST):
Could use a set of those in my house!
122. Posted by McMom on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 2:40 PM (EST):
I would love a way to help tame the laundry around here. It is always my number one household headache! Sometimes I sneak off to the laundromat where they wash, dry and fold it for a pretty good price… but don’t tell my husband! It only seems to happen in the summer when our schedules go out the window and more fun things to do beckon.
123. Posted by Leona on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 4:59 PM (EST):
Even though I’ve always bought identical black nike socks for my sons and massed them together in the family sock drawer so whatever we’d grab it would match, these look neat.
124. Posted by michelle on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 6:24 PM (EST):
This is such a great site! I would love to try these sock cops! God bless you!
125. Posted by Amy Parris [website] on Friday, Aug 8, 2008 10:43 PM (EST):
Can they magically appear when the socks are shed after school in order to make sure both socks actually make it to the machine? I want to try them:)
