Do you have hardwood floors in your home?  We do, and it’s sad to watch our little ones slip and slide on the floor when only wearing their socks.  While we do try to keep their shoes on, my son especially enjoys taking his shoes off.  Some socks do come with non-slip surfaces, but my daughter’s favorite soft socks or dress tights and my son’s sport socks do not contain this surface. 

Two moms from New York had the same issue and decided to create Grippies - a stick-on or iron-on product that can be added to gloves, tights, and socks.  Grippies provide the same time of non-slip surface that some socks come with, and they really work!  We received both versions - the stick-on and the iron-on.  I chose to use the stick-on first because I’d really prefer if I never have to iron.  Even after washing my daughter’s beloved soft socks, the Grippies are still stuck to the sock.  And, my daughter’s attempts to really test them out showed that the Grippies do prevent slipping.
