Canadian Gift Guide

Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes to do the dishes. That being said, many an advancement has tried to soften the blow of this dirty deed – from aromatherapy dish soap to fun scrub brushes. Today’s gift is another tool for the kitchen – or when cleaning up around the house, or fixing up the garden.

Gloveables are the answer to kitchen nightmares. Made from sturdy natural rubber and topped off with a decorative fringe, the gloves are designed to protect your wrists from dirt, chemicals, and hot water. Plus they you know, look pretty. With over 60 different styles, they make a great choice for the beleaguered supermom, or the sparkly-eyed new homeowner that has yet to get over the novelty of ‘playing house’.

Weirdly, the easiest place to buy them online is eBay. Or you can try Organize.com, which has international shipping options if you’re keen on getting a specific pair. Otherwise, try your local home decor store to see if you can snap on a pair of these so-not-surgical rubber gloves. At $20 a pair these are a great go-to for any occasion, including a cute hostess gift, or houseguest option.Better yet, pair them with your dishwashing services after a dinner party and you’ll be the belle of the ball from the wrist up.
