Glittens

I received two pairs of glittens for Christmas--a thick, cozy pair from my sister and a thin, dressier pair from Will.

I know most of you don't have the same sorts of problems that I do, but in case you are looking to keep your hands warm while simultaneously applying mascara and eating a English muffin on your bicycle, these fingerless glove-mitten hybrids are so the way to go.

April and Will both gave me a cream-colored pair but, for variety, I decided to return one of the cream pairs for a black pair. My local J. Crew didn't have a black pair in stock, and they were sold out online, so the lovely folks at J. Crew went on a company-wide search to find the last unsold pair of black glittens in the United States. They pulled it off (I am so impressed!) and today I received my new pair in the mail, along with four pennies (change? a difference in the sales tax?).

they really sent you four, individual pennies?

i'm more amazed with the pennies! haha...but glittens are definitely the way to go :)

I LOVE glittens. They are the perfect on the go winter accessory because they are functional, which is key. But it sounds like I need to add a fancier pair to my (small) collection.

I find these MYSTIFYING.

Ooh, I want. Plus, glitten sounds like glitter kitten. Win-Win.

Love the pennies. That's hilarious.

These are beautiful...I want them in winter white. How great is J. Crew?

I love the glittens and I too find them very useful, but for different reasons. Glittens (what a cute word!) are super useful for walking your dog and also for pumping gas and using your credit card at the pay at the pump. :)

I love glittens. They make it so much easier to switch songs on my iphone without freezing to death!

Ooooh, I like the concept of glittens but most of the pairs I've seen have been way too bulky to seem useful. Those, though, are sleek and lovely!
