To most women who live in the northern climates, there is no such thing as having too many warm clothes and accessories. It is for this reason that giving women’s gloves and mittens as gifts is ideal. To find the perfect gift, it is important to know a bit about what kind of gloves are out there on the market and how they can fit your gift-giving needs.

Women’s gloves and mittens come in a huge assortment of styles and colors to suit every taste and every budget. First of all, it is helpful to know exactly what the difference is between a glove and a mitten. Women’s gloves are cut so that each finger and the thumb have their own compartments allowing the wearer to use their hands and fingers freely. Snug-fitting driving gloves, for instance, are designed to allow the wearer to perform certain tasks even while keeping their hands covered and warm.

Mittens, on the other hand, are constructed of just two compartments—one for the thumb and one for the four fingers. Mittens are basically used to keep the cold out more than any other reason. However, don’t let the cute name “mittens” fool you. Some of the most effective winterwear to keep the hands warm and frostbite-free are actually mittens. They are worn by any woman who values warmth in the winter months, whether she is Snowboarding, trekking through the Alaskan wilderness, or just trying to make her way across the parking lot from her car to the office.

The material used to make women’s gloves and mittens are varied. Most inexpensive gloves and mittens are made from knitted synthetic yarn. The more expensive knitted types are made from expensive wools such as merino, cashmere and Shetland. While some driving gloves are made from synthetic fabrics, the expensive driving gloves are constructed from fine suedes and leathers. The gloves and mittens used by women who enjoy outdoor activities during winter are made with two layers of material--the first is a fleece liner that is then covered by a moisture-proof nylon shell.

You can find a large assortment of women’s gloves and mittens to choose from online or in your favorite department store.

My kids always had nylon gloves or mittens with a fleece lining. They are water resistant but cozy and warm inside. When it was really cold, they would put on a pair of knit gloves for extra warmth and then pull the mittens on over. LL Bean (www.llbean.com) and Lands End (www.landsend.com) have the best gloves and mittens. They cost a bit more but are worth every penny. I always used those clips (my kids called them "idiot clips") to hook the gloves/mittens to their coat sleeves. Probably saved thousands of dollars over the years!

How to Pick the Perfect Women’s Gloves and Mittens?

When the cold weather hits, you have to dress properly. You need warm coats, sweaters, scarves and hats to keep the winter cold away. Don’t forget boots and heavy socks so your toes stay warm. I am forgetting something? Oh, yes, gloves and mittens. There are so many kinds of gloves and mittens to pick from. How do you know which ones are the best? I will try to help you with that so you will know if you should buy gloves or mittens. Gloves are made to fit your hand and they allow you to move your fingers independently. It is much easier to drive a car while wearing gloves than to wear mittens. With mittens, your fingers are all together inside the warm mittens, but you will have a difficult time pushing the buttons on the radio or adjusting the heat. Gloves are a much better option to wear while driving. There are dress gloves, waterproof gloves, ski gloves and many other specialty gloves. Dress gloves are just that, they may keep your hands warm, but they are also on the fancy side. They normally should have a snug fit on your hand. If you plan to be outside helping to shovel the snow, you should get waterproof gloves. In order to stay as warm as possible outside, you don’t want your hands or feet to get wet or damp. Wearing the proper gloves will do just that, your hands will stay dry and warm. If you ski, then you know there are specialty gloves for that sport. You have to keep your hands warm, plus you have to be able to hold onto your poles. Mittens, on the other hand, are usually colorful and fun looking. Mittens would be a good option if you plan on taking a walk with the kids on a cold day. Kids normally hate wearing gloves. If you wear your mittens, you can more easily talk your kids into wearing theirs also. Women’s gloves and mittens are also items that make great gifts. If you need a gift for a friend who loves being outside in the cold, get her nice warm pair of gloves. If your friend is a fun person who enjoys colorful clothing, get her a pair of mittens. Gloves and mittens are important accessories for the cold and snowy winter. To help keep as warm as possible, wear gloves or mittens.
