Un-filled product niches
I buy my (washing up) rubber gloves in packs of six. Under my kitchen sink at present are three packets: one is unopened, one contains five lefts and four rights, the other contains six lefts (which are there after I consolidated two packs each containing three lefts). I presume the situation is the same but reversed for left-handed people, and if I have any left-handed friends who use size medium Finesse washing up gloves then please let me know.
Surely there's a market for, say, a packet containing two rights and a left, rather than one of each? Or is the idea of avoiding throwing away all those perfectly fine gloves just foolishness?
Ditto for gardening gloves. Sigh. Also heavy duty rubber gloves, which I use for poo picking, although they tend to get replaced when Mike starts refusing to pick them up without gloves on, so pretty soon, actually.
This afternoon, I did some sewing, for the first time in weeks (since I finished Baby Next Door's Quilt, in fact). I made most of a duck. Note to self: cut out the pieces for the next hand sewn project, ready for New Year.
