Do you have a favorite pair of scissors/shears?

My husband and I have many pairs of Gingher scissors--they are just the best. We bought all of them on Ebay--if you watch, you can get them for a really good price. The ones I use the most would be the 4" embroidery scissors.

I like my other Ginghers so much that I bought their curved blade ones for my embroidery/quilting machine. Love 'em. I don't even have to 'snip' because the blade is so sharp - thus no danger of cutting the fabric whilst it's in the hoop.

I recently bought a pair of Titanium scissors and they are a dream to work with. They cut through 6 layers of fabric without a problem, howevr they advertise them as cutting through 40 layers of fabric. i am just not brave enough to cut through that many layers at once.
Got mine at Keepsake Quilting cost $15.99 plus P & P

SOUNDS LIKE I'M GONNA PUT GINGHER SISSORS ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST.
BUT HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR FAMILY FROM FINDING THEM. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING FROM MY SEWING ROOM WHENEVER I GO TO LOOK FOR IT. THEY TAKE NOT ONLY SISSORS BUT MY BLUE TAPE, MARKING PENCILS, TAPE MEASURE AND OTHER MISC ITEMS. I'VE PURCHASED THESE THINGS FOR "HOUSEHOLD" USE BUT FOR SOME REASON THESE ITEMS ARE ALWAYS MISSING AND THEY KNOW RIGHT WHERE TO GO FOR AN EASY FIND.
ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS AS MOST WELCOME.
