Without gloves, hands would have to constantly endure cold air, damp air, and cruel taunts from safely sheltered feet. Put a stop to teasing toes with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of iPhone gloves ordered online from Dots Gloves.

iPhone gloves ($20), which have been featured by the likes of Salon.com and Rachael Ray, allow the wearer to use an iPhone, iPad, or other touch-screen device without exposing fingers to the elements. Conductive fibers hidden seamlessly in the fingertips of each glove create a fusion of comfort and technology previously achievable only by robot grandmothers. Knitted from imported merino lambswool, each glove's material is manipulated and softened until it's as warm and fleecy as a newborn cotton ball, swaddling tapping fingers and swiping thumbs in warmth and luxury. The gloves are machine washable and currently come in four stylish colors and two sizes.
