The editors of Cool Tools have curated a number of gift suggestions selected from the pages of Cool Tools: A Catalog of Possibilities<\/a> (which itself makes a great gift), and from the website. This week: Kevin’s picks.<\/p>\n

\n


\nEveryone can use a perfectly balanced, lifelong kitchen knife. It\u2019s an ideal gift. One I like to gift is the Kuma Chef Knife<\/a> ($25) which gets rave reviews from kitchen knife aficionados who normally review two-hundred dollar knives, yet the Kuma only costs $25. It\u2019s ergonomically optimized for your hand, easy to keep razor sharp, and will last generations. These days it’s the one I always grab. When I lift mine, I smile.<\/p>\n

\n


\nI give IFixit Toolkits<\/a> ($20) as gifts for the tech adventurous.<\/p>\n

\n


\nBose QuietComfort 20 Headphones<\/a> ($250) are expensive, but they really work and are super portable.<\/p>\n

\n


\nThis Cardboard cutter<\/a> ($8) is a kid-safe knife for cutting corrugated cardboard<\/p>\n

\n


\nI found a whole army of knock-off Legos from China<\/a> available on Amazon. They cost about 2.5 cents per piece.<\/p>\n
