Niwaki Garden Snips
£14
A good pair of snips earns its place by being close to hand. These are the ones you slip into a pocket and carry as you wander around the garden or go on a long walk, ready for those unplanned moments when something needs the chop.
They’re excellent for flowers, fruit and vegetables, with slender blades that get right in for careful, accurate snipping. They’re not secateurs and don’t pretend to be – these are for green growth only, not woody pruning. Lightweight, precise and genuinely useful. The red-and-white handles show up clearly when you put them down by the back door, in the grass, or on a wall.
Most people end up with more than one pair – one by the back door, others tucked into coat pockets.
