Last year we saw a fabric oven mitt that looked just like Nintendo’s infamous Power Glove. Pete Hottelet is raising funds on Indiegogo for a very similar product. Also named the Power Mitt, Pete’s take is made of silicone rubber and thus should be more heat-resistant than the other mitt.
As you can see, Pete’s glove also has separate sheaths for each finger making it look more like the original Power Glove.
For now, Pete is only offering right-handed gloves for average-sized hands. He said that if he gets over 1,000 orders through the fundraiser he’ll get a mold for a larger glove, and if he gets over 1,500 orders he’ll make a left-handed glove.
To the privileged right-handed people with perfectly sized hands: let’s help our mutated brethren adorn their weird limbs with a power glove. Pledge at least $39 (USD) on Indiegogo to get a Power Mitt as a reward and combat handedness prejudice.

Little girls have their toys as well, but here is something that you might want to check out for those who are more tech-oriented, with the unveiling of the Barbie Digital Makeover Mirror that happened at the International Toy Fair by Mattel just last week. This unique toy for the modern day girl will be able to be paired up with an iPad, where it sports a vanity mirror that delivers augmented reality play. This allows little girls to try on different shades of lipstick, eye shadow and glitter, all without having to use up mom’s supply, and more importantly, not to make a mess out of things.
