When you go to the hospital to visit the new baby, take a pair of these soft No Scratch Mittens by Safety First.These are a part of baby essentials that always seem to disappear. These soft cotton mittens have gentle elastic wristband to hold the mittens in place. You might think of buying a few sets in the the same color, a lost mitten can be easily replaced. Visit BabyAnt.com where you can order this item for just $3.69 for two pair. They come in white, grey, brown, pink, and orange.

If money is no object when it comes to keeping your little warm and fashionably-dressed this winter, check out these cashmere mittens from Hermes.  Available in either white or blue, these mittens are the ultimate in luxury.  They are designed to fit a toddler, and would match most winter coats.  Hopefully, the attached string will prevent them from getting lost.  I get frustrated enough when my kids lose mittens that I bought on clearance at the Gap.

I’m sure these Hermes mittens are incredibly soft, but I’m not sure how well they would hold up to snow play.  If you want to find out, you can purchase a pair for $105 at Hermes.
