Looking for a last minute gift idea that’s clever, fun, personal and useful? Try gift mitts and better yet, no wrapping paper, scissors, or tape is required!
Purchase a deep oven mitt or a pair to match the recipient’s kitchen colors or go with a holiday theme. Every cook needs to replace kitchen tools from time-to-time. Fill a lovely oven mitt with spices, zester, kitchen towel, vegetable brush, vegetable peeler or scrubber, measuring spoons, wooden spoons, knives, etc. to pleasantly surprise your culinary king or queen. Or if you know someone who loves to bake, load oven mitts with cookie cutters, wooden spoons, batter scrapers, tea towels, and more!
Winter winds chap lips and dry the skin. Pack a colorful pair of new mittens with lip balm, face and hand cream, nail polish, and a manicure kit.
While on the subject of soaps and creams, don’t forget the bath. Who doesn’t enjoy soaking in a warm, fragrant and soothing bath? Give your loved one a DIY spa treatment. Fill an inexpensive bath mitt with scented bath salts, soaps, lotions, and body butter. Add a gift certificate for a massage or a spa day to complete the pampered mitt.
Although gardening gloves aren’t deep, there should be room inside for a hand tool, seed packages, gardeners’ soap and hand or cuticle conditioner, and a gift certificate from their favorite gardening center. Secure a beautiful bow and it’s good to go!
Pack a hefty pair of barbecue mitts with grilling supplies: apron, tongs, marinades, sauces, spices, recipes, etc. for your favorite grill master
Don’t forget the handsome man on your list! Stuff a pair of leather driving gloves with aftershave, beard trimmer, beard oil, razor, lip balm, nail clippers, hand cream, wristwatch, and theater tickets. The woman on your gift lists would love a pair of new gloves stuffed with a shiny bracelet or watch, perfume, hand cream, and symphony tickets—get creative!
