We only got one pair of mittens as a gift.  As it turned out the baby liked to keep her hands around her face all the time and this resulted in scratches.  I ordered a couple of packs of these, in the girl colors.  They were cute and did the job.  She is pretty much past that phase now, at 2 months, but these will be passed on to another baby.  They did the trick and are inexpensive enough to keep plenty on hand.
They laundered well and the variety of colors coordinated with most of her outfits.
