Best two year-old gift ever? We've got you covered.
Want an awesome holiday gift for a two-year old? Something he'll love and cherish and want to play with every free second? And it's also got to be totally affordable?

Here's the idea of the century - and don't laugh. Children's scissors. Seriously.

I got my daughter a pair of regular old CVS brand safety scissors when she turned two and it was far more popular than anything under the tree that cost ten times its price. But of course the four styles at Spoon Sisters are way cuter than those. Pair a pair with My First Book of Cutting and you've still got a home run gift all for less than $15. Score. -Liz
