Kitchen scissors - we cannot be without a good pair. Opening packages, slicing twine, cutting parchment - there are many non-food needs for scissors in a busy kitchen. (We keep a separate pair of kitchen shears for meat and poultry.) Each pair of these Fair Trade scissors from Global Exchange is made by hand in India and signed by the artisan. At only $14 a pair they are a great utilitarian gift. (via Oh Happy Day)
