A rare example where the product matches the name perfectly.

all I get is a bunch of gibberish characters... am I missing some kinda joke I should be getting, or is the site broken?

I had the gibberish as well. A few minutes later, I forced a refresh and got the cute.

Where was this a month ago? This would have made a great Valentine's gift.

It was there a month ago. Been around for a while.

Hmm, it still works for me.

And shitmittens have been around since the first caveman discovered fisting.

This is almost as good as SNL's Love Toilet.

(this is sad) I actually have a pair and we've used 'em when it's cold out...

Looks really cute, but I sure ain't gonna pay $34 bucks for 2 pair of mittens... sheesh.

dabitch, how does the smitten fit? I note that the design assumes that the couples' hands will be the same size, which in my experience is not usually the case.

The one "big glove" built for two really is large enough to accommodate a huge, massive guy hand and a less massive girl hand. On the individual gloves, they give you one medium and one large.

I bought a pair of these for my brother and his wife. They are quite cute.

Oh, shit - so now I have to go and protest for same-sex mittens for gay and lesbian couples?

Then...once you get back from your brisk walk outdoors....you can slip into your Fundies with your partner.

They stole the idea from the poles.

hey, them red ones look exactly like my pair, although I got mine in Iceland. To answer the fit Q - they're a one-size-fits-all kind of size, my beau uses the single mittens when he's out on his own. ;)
