Now I know that your lens probably either came with a lens hood or you have chosen to go without, but just in case you want to find a cheap - I mean so cheap that its free - lens hood for one of your lenses, this is the site for you! Paul Mutton has printable hood patterns for most lenses from manufacturers including Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina. Paul's other web site www.lenshoods.net has other hoods optimized for crop sensor cameras.
From either site, find the lens hood you want, print it out on heavy stock (Paul recommends grey) cut it out and glue or Velcro it together. Fold the tabs along the outside of the lens barrel and secure with a rubber band. It may not look like a store bought hood, but it's a great deal cheaper and just as effective.
