LED Finger Gloves



I received the Flashing Finger Lighting Gloves through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Flashing LED lights (Red, Blue, & Green)
  • Takes 2 CR2032 batteries (One per glove)
  • Several flashing light modes
These gloves are fun to use and dance with. They're gloves that would work for entertainment and fun, not for warmth or protection. 

The gloves are stretchy and seem to fit like a medium sized glove. These gloves would be too big on younger kids, but may fit teenager, young adult, and older adult's hands. The age group who would enjoy these gloves the most seem like it would be kids, teenagers, and some young adults, yet the gloves would be too large for smaller hands.  

The battery compartment is inside of a pocket located on the inner parts of the gloves. The pocket is secured by velcro to help keep it shut and to keep the battery inside. There are tabs that need to be removed before use of the gloves.

The on button is small and easy to press. The on button is located on the back side of the gloves. To switch the modes or to turn off the gloves, you must keep pressing the on/off button. To turn off, you must go through all of the flashing light modes. 

The different modes can change the speed and which light is flashing. There's red, blue, and green LED lights inside of the glove. The lights are attached by a wire, which feels weird in the gloves. One is still able to bend and move their fingers with the wires.

I would highly recommend not getting these gloves wet, especially when wearing them.

Pros:
- Fun
- Bright lights
- Several flashing modes
- Replaceable batteries 

Cons:
- Wires feel odd when gloves are on
- One size doesn't fit all

Oven Gloves



I received the Oven Gloves through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Outside made with heat resistant aramid fibers
  • Heat resistant up to 662 degrees F
  • Similar material in Fire Fighters' Vests
  • Cotton interior 
  • Fit men and women
  • Machine washable 
  • More flexible than normal oven mitts
  • Silicone dots for extra grip
The first thing I noticed about the oven gloves is that they're very soft. They're comfortable to wear

When using the oven gloves with grilling or cooking with the oven, the gloves are able to protect
your hands and wrists from getting burnt or overly hot. The silicone grip allows you to grab a hold of pans or utensils with ease.

The flexibility makes it very easy to grab, hold, and move around with the gloves on. 

The product description from the company claims that the gloves are able to fit women and  men snuggly. I have to disagree with this statement. The gloves were huge! They may fit as a XXL glove. The gloves do not fit snug at all. They don't fall off the hands though, which is good.

Texting Gloves by iGotTech


I received the Texting Gloves for Smartphone and Touchscreens by iGotTech through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Comfortable 
  • Durable
  • Ultra-Soft Brushed Interior
These gloves came at a perfect time. My old pair had just ripped at the fingers and it was starting to get too cold to wear them with the holes.

The first thing I noticed about the iGotTech gloves were that they were thicker than the fabric/mesh type gloves that I normally would get at like Walmart. It made me feel comfortable that they could possible last longer (and so far they have).

When I put the gloves on, they fit very nicely. My hands usually fit in a medium sized glove or rubber glove. These gloves are slightly big on my hands, but not as big as what a large glove size would be. They have an excellent amount of stretch. 

The inside is very soft! It's one of my favorite parts about these gloves. I love the way they feel when you slide your hands in. 

The touch/texting part of the gloves works nice. When it's really cold out, below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, they can be hard to text with. When it's just chilly, I can text with these gloves no problem. 

The glove doesn't provide the warmth or wind protection needed when it's below freezing or if you're outdoors for a long period of time. 

The only other issue I had with these gloves is that one string was loose on the inside of the gloves, which isn't a big deal. The gloves have lasted for over a month with being worn multiple times a day.

Bee Sili Silicone BBQ Grill & Oven Gloves


I received the Bee Sili Silicone BBQ Grill/Oven Gloves through a promotion.

These gloves come in lime green, blue, red, and black. I choose green because they were the brightest color.



When using the gloves, I did not feel any heat coming through. They work great at protecting my hands from getting burnt or over heated while working with a grill or oven.

On the downside, these gloves are very awkward when you try to hold something. Picking up small items is extremely difficult. Picking up a pan is doable, it's just an awkward hold.

The gloves come in one size, so smaller and larger hands can fit in the same type of gloves. For those with smaller hands, the more awkward it is to pick up items with these gloves. The gloves would be too small for those with X-Large hands (6 inches wide).

I felt less heat with these gloves than I do with cloth ones. I felt saver using these silicone gloves than my normal pot holders. (And no, these gloves haven't melted for me)

The gloves can easily be washed by putting through the dish washer. The groves (hearts) are far enough apart that anything that gets in between them comes out easily.

I didn't make anything lately that would require the Basting Brush, so I'm not sure how well that works. It does feel like it's a good quality. The top does wiggle off, which makes it easier to clean if anything gets stuck on the handle or in between the handle and silicone part.

Check it out on amazon.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
