These are no ordinary gloves. They’re not designed for the cold winters, so seniors, here in California, can definitely make use of them. That is, of course, if they are animal lovers. Do you have a pet in your home? If so, these HandsOn Gloves will make the perfect gifts for your older parent who enjoys grooming his/her beloved pet.

“Your pet-loving loved one will appreciate HandsOn Gloves that make bathing and grooming easier,” explains Gina Roberts-Grey on Caring.com, “Made of hypo-allergenic, bio-friendly material, the gloves let pet owners and their animals become closer and bond through gentle massage thanks to the nodules on the gloves. Available in green, black, and purple.”
