We’re on our umpteenth snowfall and our third pair of kid mitts. Soon it’ll be spring and the melting snow banks will reveal those lost little mittens – right after we’ve trashed their forlorn mates.
Now we can use that solo one to wave lost mittens goodbye for good. Made with bamboo and organic cotton fabric, earth-friendly and mama-friendly mimiTENS feature long cuffs to help them stay on (why did it take so long for someone to think of this?) and a Thinsulate lining for added warmth.
Made in Canada, we know for certain that creators Anna-Maria Mountfort and Maria Dempster have shared our irritation with missing mittens. They also share our love for incredible embroidery and illustration. Available in two styles – thumbless for 6-18 months ($27.50) and with thumb for 2-3 years ($29) – and featuring a myriad of cute colours and designs (like owls, robots and rainbows), the hardest part will be not losing them to thieving toddlers at the next playdate.
MimiTENS have shown us that lost-mitten misery doesn’t love company – it loves someone who does something about it.
