I asked my husband to get me a specific type, Grab-A-Roos, and a lady at the sewing store told him to buy cheap gardening gloves. I borrowed Grab-A-Roos from a friend and love them. They are light-weight and fitted which allow me to freely bend and do many other function without removing them. The gardening gloves are okay, but are bulky and I must remove them to do any type of snipping, trim, or positioning. I finally ordered some for myself and he was not one bit offended. Guess I'll have to plant a garden!
