  Me too!  Why hasn't somebody done something about this?  :'(

they do make them, but you have to look for them. the dollar store here sells them for $2.50 CDN, but i had to go to another store to get the color i wanted. not only that, but they didn't start selling them until midwinter.

I used to have cheap but nice and furry fingerless gloves. Apparently I gave them to Kayleigh for when she rode her bike in the cold. Hence, they have disappeared. I'm an idiot!

no, you're not an idiot. you're kind. just because people take advantage of that doesn't mean you're an idiot.
i used to do that too, and somewhere along the way i realized i was giving away my best stuff. i do very little of that now, and no one except my mother (who is wealthy yet steals from me) has really noticed the difference.

Thank you both. Going to the city on Friday, might have a look for gloves (which I won't give away) then.
