Gloves: women's, men's, or children's, make a unique and unusual gift. Gloves solve all your gift shopping dilemmas, since they can be given for Christmas, Valentines, Father's Day or Mother's day. Name a holiday, and you can find a pair that will fit the occasion "like a glove".

These are the different types of gloves available:

	Driving gloves Usually made of leather; makes a guy or gal feel like Mario Andretti. Great 16th birthday gift as well.
	Winter gloves Everything from stylish supple leather gloves, to brightly colored funky winter snowboard gloves. A classic Christmas holiday stocking stuffer.
	Work gloves Leather, Suede, canvas, or microfibre, great presents for the home handyman. Impossibly cute, small sizes for a little carpenter.
	Gardening gloves Made of cloth or suede, come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Make a welcome Easter or birthday gift to the gardener in your family. Some even come with a "green thumb".
	Opera gloves Elbow or arm length. Sensational for formal occasions such as graduation or weddings, and, of course, going to the opera!
	Rubber gloves Dress up with feathers or faux pearls for a fun bridal shower or baby shower present. Bright yellow to pastel pink, rubber gloves are a colorful way to protect your skin from the rigors of (yuk) housework.
	Golf Gloves Golfers only use one, like Michael Jackson, but no rhinestones please! A good executive or corporate gift, can be monogrammed with a logo or initials.

So next time you're looking for gifts for her, gifts for him, or even a nice gift for you, think gloves! More glove ideas: full-length black satin gloves for a romantic anniversary present. A monogrammed golf-glove as a retirement gift. Motorcycle gloves for your biker boyfriend.
