Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business or chances of winning.
I invented a product that actually keeps mittens and gloves from falling off children's hands. It is US Patent Pending. Mittenhugs is not like clips or strings that only keep you from losing mittens. This product keeps any mitten or glove snug to the child's hand while they ride in a stroller, play outside or in the snow. I first hand sewed this product while sitting on my couch. I now have it manufactured in a factory in the USA.

This is my story:

Like many Mommies, strolling my baby through the frozen streets of NYC in the bitter cold winter was always a big challenge. My daughter's mittens were always falling off! As she grew, I was in a constant battle to keep her mittens and gloves on her hands while she played in the snow or windy cold. Mittenhugs were born from my obsession to keep my child's hands warm and safe. Mittenhugs easily wrap around any mitten or glove to hold them on tight. They are easily adjusted to fit babies, fast moving toddlers and bigger kids. I first used Mittenhugs on my daughter after a frustrating ski trip. The snow and cold was always freezing her little fingers and wrists. I wrapped my Mittenhugs around each little mitten and THEY STAYED ON!!! They stayed on ALL day! This product is Mother Invented, Mother Tested and Mother Loved. Love your little one's mittens and give them a hug!
