I need a pair of lovely, soft and very warm mittens for my mum for Christmas. She has advanced MS so gets very cold hands and her hands are getting a bit claw shaped so suede/sheepskin mittens are not really an option. Stretchy is best. If anyone has any ideas or recommendations I'd be very grateful. I don't want to spend more that £20 if poss as this is an add-on to her 'main' present.

Thanks all.

Have you thought about buying ski mits? Not terribly glam but very warm.

okay, just read your thread title properly. Ski Mits not a great option for the "gorgeous" element :o

Just read your OP again - perhaps those options won't be warm enough?

I love the Accessorise ones - I shall check them out at the weekend.

Thanks so much everyone and may all your present-buying be stress-free.

Agree with Cherry - knit some. It's possible to do a pair in two or three evenings.
