Bought for my 4 year old who has had a runny nose for months (thanks preschooler!). Instead of sorting through hundreds of napkins (how can you use so many napkins?), Mom learned that washing them is a lot easier than buying and throwing tons of paper napkins. Plus, they don't end up in landfills, and better yet, I can stitch designs he likes onto them to make them even more personal! Great socks!
