My first Christmas gift was from an old friend - 35 pairs of scissors. They didn't think I had enough (they only gave me 25 last year). They range in size from 2"-8" and every brand known to man. My favorites are the Dovo and Gingher. They think it's a joke - but I love scissors. Now I just have to figure out where to put them all. (They've already told me they'll have to come up with something different next year because they're having trouble keeping track of what they've bought!)
