Don’t give hand pruners as a gift! Here’s why: https://www.theimpatientgardener.com/handpruners/
A much better choice for gift giving is garden snips. These are lightweight pruners that will handle most of what you’re doing in the garden, but they are not appropriate for cutting hard wood. I have a pair with me almost all the time and the needle nose tip makes detail work so much easier then with a large pruners.

Great advice!
Great advice Erin and thanks for the suggestion on the snips. Now I know what to ask Santa for this year. Love my Felcos but you’re absolutely right about needing them for deadheading; so much easier to get in there for smaller cuts.
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you’re having a great day – stay warm & well.
