We all need a good pair of snips, perfect for wandering round the garden and taking care of those unruly green stems, flowers, fruit and veg that needs tidying.
Snips aren't tough like secateurs, so not suitable for woody pruning, but for gathering fresh herbs and flowers, snipping new growth and general as-you-go tidying, they can't be beaten. With their pointed, slender blades they can reach into any gap for precision cutting, and their bright red handles stop them getting lost. For long.
