Pair up mismatched gloves

At http://www.dothegreenthing.com/shop/get_gloves readers are encouraged to send in single gloves. These are matched for size and offered for sale for GBP 5. This is a clever way of ensuring that gloves whose partners have gotten lost don't get wasted. (Other suggestions for utilizing single gloves: as a sponge for bathing or cleaning and as a stocking substitute for small gifts.) Or to avoid buying anything you could simply ask your friends if they have any lonely gloves and mismatch them yourselves. Glove-matching parties are going to be all the rage in 2012!


Effort involved: looking at gloves. Pretty low-energy effort, if you ask me.
