When writer Ivy Elrod was a teen, she unwrapped a pair of thick leather work gloves from her dad. Ivy rolled her eyes at the time, but eventually realized that these protective gloves actually make an excellent gift: for budding DIYers, intrepid soon-to-be grads, and just about anyone else looking for the confidence to handle life’s dirty work.
Made of hearty cowhide, these gloves have thick padding to protect hands during yard work, basic home improvement, and even baking. And the red cuff looks surprisingly snazzy, too.
