After Sam’s comment above I did a search and there is a site that puts odd gloves together http://www.dothegreenthing.com/glovelove

I’m sure there are thousands of people like myself who only have one hand and are forced to buy a pair of gloves and throw one away. I wish there was a place odd gloves couldbe sent and one handed people could buy them for a small fee or a right traded for a left or visa versa.

Stuff it with old newspaper or similar and sew the end up and tie a bit of string to the end and use it as cat toy.Or give it to your hamster/pet mice to chew up and use for bedding.

you can make great gift bags. sew some pretty beads, or embroidery, sew a small handle like a thick yarn or string. fill with candy, gift cards, small toys. you can even sew on a small snap so it will closes.

fill with sand or dry beans, sew it off, bean bag.

keep a few pairs for kids in the winter. double them up to keep their fingers warmer.

keep them for when you’re doing something dirty.

While a huge project, the following can make a kid’s life much happier.

Grab a full outfit’s worth of clothes (gloves, socks, pants, long sleeve turtle-neck shirt, hat, etc), turn everything inside out and stitch it together at the edges. Turn right side out and stuff with other old clothes – it’s a mini-me doll!

Make glove puppets – you can embroider a face and put wool “hair” on each finger. Entertaining for small children ( can be kept in car or on other journeys too)

Red ones like that are always useful when your son comes home and tells you “oh, i forgot, i need a chicken costume for the Easter play tomorrow” – as happened to me earlier this year.
