"The best gift I've ever received is one I got last year from my mom, the OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer ($11). I had mentioned a few days before Christmas that slicing and mashing up avocados took so many utensils, and I was worried about slicing my hand open — and on Christmas day this was under the tree! I use it all the time, and it meant so much that my mom had both listened to me and set out to help fix a (relatively small) problem in my life. In fact, I love this tool so much that I forced my boyfriend to buy one too, and now he uses his all the time." — Madeleine Fournier, social content producer
