Holiday Gift Idea! "Vs. Mittens" By HOOPLA!!

My adorable great-nephew "A"
loving his "Vs.Mittens!"

I was thrilled when I was contacted by Hannah and Ashley,  the owners/founders of Hoopla  the company that puts the "wacky" in winter by having invented the quirky, fun, adorable and clever "Vs. Mittens." They asked if I would be interested in featuring them on  Cat Chat as a holiday gift idea and being that I am a "kid at heart" I didn't have to be asked more than once!

Who Is:

Hoopla is based out of New York and is a fun product development and gift company. They make "super fun products for adults who are KIDS on the inside"

Dog Vs. Cat Mittens

It's a puppet show for your hands!

These would also be great for the little ones in your life when they are bored and looking for something to do while sitting in the car during your holiday shopping trips, grocery trips, even on the ride to Grandma's house for the holiday!

Also many Moms, "cool Dads", Aunts, etc. wear the mittens to entertain the little ones while in line at the supermarket, bank, anywhere!  They also are keeping their hands warm at the same time!

From their website:  Vs. Mittens were born of a zany idea in the hoopla sketchbook. Why not turn your hands into animals and entertain yourself on a busy subway or supermarket line, but keep your hands warm at the same time? Made sense to us. There were no quirky mittens for adults (big kids) and we are our own customers.

Even "big" kids love 'em!!

Amazingly, our entire first run was bought out by a large online retailer. We got amazing press, and next year successfully sold out of our second run. Then we decided to create the Vs. Mittens brand, and the rest is history! In 2011, Vs. Mittens launched the kids mitten line (due to popular demand): Vs. Mittens Juniors, for kids ages 4-7.

"A" actually just turned 3
but he also thinks these mittens
make winter much more fun!!!

Vs. Mittens are handmade, sweatshop free, and have been featured in CNN Money and AOL Small Business Entrepreneur Spotlight just to name a few! The Vs. Mittens were featured (and sold-out) in the Red Hot Product of the month on Target.com. 


They are available in the following varieties:

cat vs. dog

wolf vs. sheep

owl vs. mouse

frog vs. fly

lion vs. gazelle

whale vs. fish

 Vs. Mittens are sold in fun and funky retailers all over the  USA, Canada and Australia!! To view the list of these retailers click here

You can also purchase them directly from their website by clicking here

"A" says "Who cares if it snows?"
"I'm having fun in my Vs. Mittens!!"

As Hannah and Ashley say on their website:

 "Stay warm, and enjoy the funner things in life!"

We were not compensated for this post. We were given a pair of "Vs.Mittens" to review.
