I use a pair in my grooming kit . I use them at our flower show snipping brown tips off the foliage and buds that are interfering with the open flower. One year at Christmas meeting I got a pair for my gift The person who finally ended up with them was so grateful. She didn't have a pair. Last year's Christmas exchange was a yard art thing with a ball that changed color using solar energy. The year before I had put together a grooming kit and included snips to it. We have a limit of 15.00 to spend on gifts for the Dirty Santa gift exchange. Not yet sure of what I will get this year.
