Gloves for lovers! Not really sure if the correct word for these would be cute or sappy, but I had to write about this since I have NEVER seen anything like it. You get one double glove to share and two single mittens.
How romantic?! I personally don't know any guys that would wear these, but apparently they're a hot item.
