For years I have been purchasing the "fancy" cotton spa gloves one pair at a time for ~$10 each. I really enjoy using these, but they were getting so expensive that I'd continue using a pair even after it was getting holes at the seams!
A few months ago, I discovered that simplicity comes in bulk, in the form of cotton gloves by Cara. These spa gloves are wonderful! Each pair costs approximately $1 or less depending on the size and deal you get. I am 5'10" and have long fingers, so a large fits me very comfortably without being tight or binding. This is important if you want to wear the gloves to bed -- I've found that cotton gloves containing spandex will sometimes leave your fingers slightly numb if worn for longer periods of time.
They launder very well but do shrink quite a bit - so make sure to order 1+ size up if you're going to dry them. They hold up to a lot of essential oil, shea butter and lotion uses! A box of 24 should last me quite a few years. This is a great way to moisturize your hands and keep costs down.
A few pair of these with a spa product basket would also make great gifts that you can buy and assemble in bulk for the holiday season. Oh, and speaking of the holiday season -- I've also realized that when assembling and fluffing the branches on your artificial Christmas tree, these are wonderful for saving you from scrapes and scratches if you have sensitive skin. Let me know how you like them and other uses you've found for your cotton spa gloves!
