The person behind Sock Buddies Inc is me, Petra, a 22 year old student from the Netherlands. I started making sock animals as a hobby and within a few weeks found them taking over my apartment! As cute as I find them, they really need new homes!

Prices are based on the size of the Buddy and the amount of time, material and money it took to construct it.

Yes, we do. This is mostly for sanitary reasons. Also, used socks tend to show wear and tear, which would negatively affect the quality of our Sock Buddies.

Yes, we do. We ship to any destination! Unfortunately we must charge shipping costs for this. Please see our information pages for this.

Sock Buddies Inc ships all orders within 3 working days, after receiving your payment. Unfortunately the time it takes for the item to be delivered is not something we can control. Shippings to the USA or Asia could take up to 3 or 4 weeks to arrive. To be sure your Buddy arrives on time, order in advance!

An Orphan Smiles is an American 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the lives of Ukrainian orphans. They do so by linking orphaned children to a sponsor. Thanks to AOS, children in the sponsored orphanages can celebrate their birthdays as well as Christmas, and go to school. For more information about their fantastic work, please visit their website: www.anorphansmiles.org

Some are, some aren't. When shopping for a baby or toddler, please be aware of their tendency to explore the world by putting it in their mouths. For this reason, Sock Buddies with loose parts are not suitable for this age group. We try to specify the appropriate age groups for each Sock Buddy we upload, but when in doubt, feel free to contact us!

Yes, we do! Please contact us regarding your request, specifying colour, size and accessories and we will do our best to give you exactly what you want. Special requests cost only a little more than regular Sock Buddies.
