  60. This is a generous giveaway, one to be truly appreciated. My mother gave me a pair of shears when I went away to school over 40 years ago. After much good use and 2 children who would use the most visible scissors for any purpose, I could put a new pair to good use. Have a wonderful holiday season. Cathleen
