Glovers are for lovers
Filed under: Holiday Style, Accessories, Clothing, Gift Guides
If you like strolling through the snow, embracing the icy winter weather with your warm-hearted lover, here's a useful (albeit not super attractive) item: Glovers.
Billed by the manufacturer as "the most romantic, cosiest gloves ever invented," this odd little fashion item is just what it looks like -- a glove for two. That way you can hold the hand of that special someone without the fear of frostbite. Now nothing, not even arctic temperatures, can stand in the way of your true love!
Of course, you won't be able to stop holding your partner's hand until the walk is over, and you'll probably get made fun of by neighborhood teenagers. Just something to keep in mind before you get all romantic and put this under the tree.

They already have those. They're called "Smittens" (smitten and mittens) and they're super cute. I saw them awhile back, but I don't remember where. Real helpful, I know!

Someone gave these to us—under the name "Smittens." I have to say that they were sort of bulky... not really that romantic aside from the title. I'd rather have a bright red scarf—which could be used to keep warm outdoors, or as a blindfold or bondage device once in from the snow. And I'll wear two gloves when I'm cold.

this is a cute idea but if you really think about it...you know it's gonna get really sweaty in that hot glove and that's kinda gross.

Can you imagine any guy actually willing to wear that stupid thing?! Even I would feel like an ass and I'm a chick!

Its one of those totally impractical things that women will love and men will hate.

All right, John. I'll confess. I'm one of those impractical women. But I prefer sexy gloves like these:

I'd be much happier to find these in my stocking than Glovers!

These look stupid. I need little more space. I buy warm comfortable mittems at Lands End, and can lean over and give my husband a kiss and not be all over him..sharing a glove is just too much.
I buy most of my stuff at an online shopping mall that gives me between 5-55% back in cash on all my purchases. There are over 1000 stores including Lands End Sephora, Apple, The Gap, Target
(great for soo much), Macy's. I also wait for sales so I get my cash
back and the lowest price

I thought I ahve seen it all, to each is own, but I need my space.
Some people have to show the whole world how they feel about their mate.
For me, I don'tneed to see that.

I have one. It is great for taking my little girl out. I can keep her safe and she gets to feel the warmth of my hand. Creates bonding.

they may work for a walk in a deserted part of the parking lot, but not on the streets of new york. Have you ever tried holding hands in a mall or on a busy sidewalk-forget it. get real, these are dumb!!! sorry!!!

If you can't go anywhere without being permanently attached, you should spend the money on the book "Codependent No More" - not on some stupid mitten. And for the truly insecure, there are leashes.

Leashes? I like that. What about this one?
