Last year we featured Lion vs. Gazelle, Frog vs. Fly and Whale vs. Fish mittens, but this season Wolf vs. Sheep, Cat vs. Dog and Owl vs. Mouse have been added to the lineup.

Your hands couldn’t hate each other more—unless they come out with election year Republican vs. Democrat versions.

hi 5 mittensAlthough you’ll enjoy the double whammy “hello” that you can give with the combination of a conventional wave and the added “Hi” printed on one of the mittens, the waning  popularity of the high five coupled with the fact that mittens have a cool factor of zero means that the only high five action they will see will be with each other.

predator-vs-prey-mittens

Each pair of these mittens consists of a predator and his prey. You may have trouble keeping your hands still when wearing these, the predator will want to attack and the prey will be looking to escape. But all that is important is that your hands will stay nice and warm. The following pairs are available: Lion/Gazelle, Frog/Fly and Whale/Fish.

Lambchop MittensYou won’t be able to take the voices in your head seriously when it’s Lambchop telling you to burn things.

There was no reason they had to make mittens out of spiders. The guy has eight legs, which is more than enough for a set of fingers. It does leave you plenty of appendages to slap people around with though. That makes the lack of fingers acceptable.

Always have a pair of mittens handy when wearing the Toasty Hoodie. You probably use your pockets to keep your hands warm more than you use them to carry stuff, so it only makes sense. They also work great if cute girls need to warm their hands.

Gloomy Bear is always about a little dripping blood from either his mouth or his claws. These plush Gloomy Bear claw mittens with blood will keep your hands warm and give you a bit of a dangerous look. If you are really dead set against the blood they do have a pair of the same claw mittens with clean claws, but that does not seem to have the same effect. Certainly not for Gloomy Bear.

Like yin and yang, each of these cat mittens has a different expression. Even better, each mitten has a tail on it. I guess if you are going to make a cute product like cat mittens you may as well go all the way.

The mittens are actually very functional with each face being able to be folded back to allow your fingers to be used. And if you ever feel embarrassed about having cats on your mittens you can reverse them and put the faces on the inside.

Just because you are made to smoke outside in the middle of winter is no reason to have your hands freeze. These Smoking Mittens have a handy hole in one of them that will allow you to hold that cigarette with the mitten on. And no need to buy two pairs to account for lefties and righties, these suckers are reversible.
