I just received the best gift - actually a pair! They are darling gloves adorn with playful penguins and I just love them! However, they don't fit me - but that is just fine. These disposable glovies® were designed specifically with children in mind and are shaped to fit hands of little ones between the ages of 2 and 6. Fully lined, they are 100% waterproof with a soft elastic wristband which keeps hands virtually germ free in those public places where germs tend to lurk.

A former Wall Street executive, Josephine Geraci, is the founder of My Mom Knows Best Inc., a company which "offers today's savvy mothers, fathers, and caregivers smart solutions for everyday issues related to raising a happy and healthy family". Geraci put her professional career on hold with the birth of her first child and devoted her energy to being a full time parent. "Three kids later, Josephine found herself dismayed by a lack of information about protecting kids from germs in public places…and began to work on a product that would protect children from potentially harmful microorganisms that lurk in public places." Hence her fabulous product, glovies® was born.

They come in packages of 12 and are extremely affordable. Those playful penguins, CJ, Gaga and Niki (I just love her perky, polka dotted hair bow) are always ready to entertain as they travel to the zoo or on an airplane, rest on a shopping cart or enter a public rest room. This pediatrician recommended product "glovies® is a great product with many uses that prevent kids from coming into contact with germs that cause colds, flu, earache, diarrhea and more".

I am saving the best for last - after they have been used they are ready for recycling! So join me in celebrating my new find and one that is fun to use.
