11 Days Till Christmas, Time’s Running Out

​If you are like me, you might still be doing some Christmas shopping and the big day is just around the corner.  If you are really like me, you have likely not started shopping at all.  Never fear!  I got some great gift ideas for that gardener in your life.
 
I’m going to TRY to do a new post for great gifts for the next eleven days.  For gift idea are gloves.  They are practical and anyone outdoors, even the seasoned pros, needs a comfy and durable pair. 
You can go two directions with gloves: gauntlet or no-gauntlet. The no-gauntlet gloves are typically less expensive and more utilitarian while the gauntlet offer a little more protection and say “Serious gardening is going on here”. First, here are my picks for the no-gauntlet category.
It's the Thought, RIGHT?
It’s the thought that counts, right?  Usually that means you didn't spend too much on a present.  With gloves, you can definitely buy a cheap pair for around $4 to $5.  They are usually durable but not comfy.  If you want to go that route, I would suggest a classic leather glove.  There's no flash to them, but they will get the job done!  One pair of a classic work glove can last for a generation. You can buy a glove like this at just about any hardware store liek Home Depot or Lowes.

​Bionic has gloves for men and women, AND design their gloves to help reduce painful arthritis when outdoors pulling weeds.  They have features like silicone finger tips to increase the durable of the gloves as well.

​If you have a gardenista you need to buy a gift for this holiday season, look no farther than HexArmor line of gloves called plainly Safety Gloves.  They are made for the toughest jobs and come cut resistant, impact protection and will feel completely secure when your stylish loved one grips weeds to pull or welds a shovel to dig.  Plus they look pretty awesome.

If you like the HexArmor brand, you might even like their ThornArmor glove as well.  Literally, you can hold a catcus without getting pricked.
Gauntlet Gloves are Dope!
Now for the gauntlet gardening gloves.  These gloves offer more protection and style.  They have both that old world look while also being modern.  Here are a few options for taking that glove gift to the next level.

​Womanswork is a cool, WBE local garden supply business just over the river in New York offers a whole list of gardening accessories.  They have a All Leather Gauntlet glove that is perfect for when you need to roll up your shelves but keep your forearms protected.

​West County makes a line of gauntlet gloves worth a gander as well. 
Gloves and More Gloves
These are a small, small sample of the gloves on the market for gardening.  Any are good gifts!  I'll be back tomorrow with more ideas for surprising that special lover of nature in your life.
