Embossed Silver Grape Shears

...make the perfect gift for a recent bride. They look expensive, and you can be sure no one else has sent her a pair. You can also be sure she won't know what they are for and will send you a hilariously clueless, groping thank you note. Once she learns that they are meant to serve individual sprays of grapes, thereby preventing the eyesore of a picked-over cluster, she can lord it over the vinously innocent who just pluck away when the grape bowl is passed. Lists at $20. www.wellappointedhouse.com.
