There are only SIX Fridays left until Christmas. Each Friday, as we get closer to the holiday, I’ll share a fun or interesting gift with you…
Today’s gift idea is a request from reader Maggie, who wrote asking if I knew where she could find mitten grippers for children.”You know the kind us 70s kids grew up with that clip onto your coat! I cannot find these in stores.”
Well, if you can’t find it on Amazon, it probably doesn’t exist. Mitten Clips are still around, and Amazon’s got ’em. Apparently the design hasn’t changed much in close to 40 years, either. I remember having clips like these as a kid — little snowmen and all! While the kids in your life may not think this is the greatest gift, it’s highly likely that parents of babies, toddlers and little ones will. Clip one edge to a coat sleeve and the other to the cuff of a glove or mitten, and your kids won’t lose them even if they wiggle out of their mittens.
There are actually several different kinds of these on Amazon, some of which would be appropriate for adults too. (Don’t laugh – many of the reviews cite adults using them to avoid losing their gloves!) Amazon prices can change at any time:
– Original Snowmen Mitten Clips: $5.99 + $5.55 shipping
– N’ice Caps Mitten Clips: $7.99 + Amazon shipping
– Clips N Grips: $14.99 + Amazon shipping
Have you found a fun or interesting gift item online you’d like to share? Feel free to share it in the comments, and I may feature it as a future Friday gift idea…
