Every keen gardener knows the feeling: you're wandering round the garden with a cup of tea and spot a faded rose or a leggy sprig of thyme. These mini snips mean you can deal with it there and then.
At just over 10cm long, they slip easily into a pocket or apron, so they're always to hand. The fine, sharp blades get right in among the stems to snip off even the smallest dead heads without damaging the buds around them, and they're just as handy for picking herbs for the kitchen or trimming stems for a vase.
Flower arrangers love them too, for neat, clean cuts when conditioning and arranging cut flowers.
As seen in The Sunday Times, November 2026.
A little gift that gets used every single day, they make a perfect stocking filler for keen gardeners, flower arrangers and anyone who likes to keep their pots and borders looking their best.
Buy 5 for £15. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
These snips are also part of our Edible Flower Cottage Garden Set, a lovely gift for anyone who wants to grow and pick their own edible flowers.
For a slightly larger pair, see our Japanese Forged Snips.
Keep your snips in perfect condition with a few drops of tool oil. Choose Niwaki's Camellia Tool Care Oil, the traditional Japanese way to protect steel blades, or our White Tool Oil.
