The smaller sister product to our FloraBrite® Bypass Secateurs — a properly dedicated harvesting and precision snip for the soft, delicate work of the cottage garden. Razor-sharp stainless steel blades for clean cuts on tender stems, lightweight body, compact design for the tool belt or gardening apron, and the same bright fluorescent handles (pink or yellow) that make the FloraBrite range impossible to lose. At £13.49, properly the right tool for the everyday work of picking, harvesting, and tidying.

From Sheffield toolmakers Burgon & Ball, who've been making proper garden tools since 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. RHS-endorsed, with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

What this is for — precision over power

These are snips, not secateurs. The difference matters — this is the dedicated tool for delicate work where the secateurs would be too heavy:

  • Picking cut flowers — the precision the bypass scissor-action gives lets you cut individual stems cleanly without crushing the rest. Important for vase life
  • Harvesting herbs — chives, basil, parsley, mint, dill. The clean cut means the plant regrows cleanly rather than rotting at a crushed stem
  • Soft fruit harvesting — strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, gooseberries. The compact size and precision tip let you snip individual berries free without bruising the rest
  • Deadheading delicate flowers — cosmos, sweet peas, calendula, antirrhinum. The smaller tool is properly easier than full-size secateurs for repetitive precision work
  • Light pruning — thin growth, sucker shoots, new herbaceous stems
  • Edible flower picking — nasturtiums, calendula petals, borage flowers, violas
  • Vegetable harvesting — salad leaves (cut-and-come-again style), French beans, mangetout, ripe tomatoes from the vine
  • Microgreen and seedling work — harvesting cress, sprouts, microgreens at the precise stem level

For thicker stems (anything over the diameter of a pencil), reach for the FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs instead. The snips and secateurs are designed to be a complementary pair — the snips for delicate everyday work, the secateurs for proper pruning.

Why fluorescent — the anti-loss design

  • Bright pink or yellow handles — properly visible against foliage, soil and grass. Snips drop into beds and disappear; FloraBrite snips don't
  • Reflective strip on the handles — catches light in low-light, overcast days, or at dusk. Particularly useful for early-morning picking sessions before the light is up
  • Easy to spot in a tool basket — obvious even when buried under other tools or garden detritus

The whole FloraBrite range exists to solve the gardener's perennial problem of misplaced tools. Once you've used them for a season, going back to traditional-coloured snips feels like an unnecessary handicap.

The tool itself — properly considered

  • Razor-sharp stainless steel blades — stainless suits the fruit-and-flower work; doesn't stain or transfer iron taste to harvested produce. Sharp out of the box and stays sharp
  • Bypass mechanism — the two blades pass each other (like scissors) for clean cuts rather than crushing the stem. Important for tender herbs and soft fruit; an anvil snip would mash the delicate material
  • Lightweight body — comfortable for extended harvesting sessions; no hand fatigue
  • Compact size — fits in a gardening apron pocket or on a tool belt. Properly the size for taking with you on a flower-picking round
  • Ergonomic handle shape — soft grip that doesn't tire the hand through long sessions of repetitive cutting
  • Safety catch — secure locking mechanism keeps the blades closed when not in use; essential for tool-belt and apron storage
  • RHS-endorsed — chosen by the Royal Horticultural Society for their official recommended tool range
  • 10-year guarantee — against manufacturing defects; reflects Burgon & Ball's confidence in the build quality

Choose your colour

  • Sunny yellow — the highest visibility against green foliage; the "I'll never lose these" choice
  • Vivid pink — softer aesthetic, still highly visible; works well for pink-loving gardeners

Both colours have identical engineering and performance. Purely a colour preference.

Particularly good for

  • Cut-flower growers — precision picking, repetitive cutting, the snip you reach for every morning of the season. The bright handle means you can leave it on the bench between rounds without losing it
  • Kitchen gardeners — herb-picking, soft-fruit harvesting, salad-leaf cutting. The genuinely right tool for the daily kitchen-garden harvest
  • Herb gardeners — basil, mint, parsley, dill, chives. Clean stem cuts let plants regrow properly
  • Allotmenteers — the busy-plot tool you don't want to lose. Compact for the apron, visible when set down between beds
  • Anyone harvesting soft fruit — the precision tip lets you snip individual fruit without bruising neighbours
  • Older gardeners or those with arthritis — the lightweight body and ergonomic grip reduce hand fatigue compared to heavier secateurs
  • As a gift for someone who already has secateurs — the natural complementary tool. Or for someone who's mentioned losing their snips

The FloraBrite pair

This snip is the natural complement to our FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — matching range, matching colour choice, matching anti-loss design. Together they give you the everyday cutting tool plus the precision harvesting tool, both in the same instantly-findable bright palette. The proper "FloraBrite pair" for the working garden:

  • FloraBrite Snips (this) — £13.49. For picking, harvesting, deadheading delicate flowers and soft fruit
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — £23.49. For pruning, woody stems, anything thicker than herbaceous

Many cut-flower growers and serious kitchen gardeners end up with both tools side-by-side on the potting bench. At £36.98 for the pair, they're a proper investment in the daily working tools of the garden.

How it fits in our cutting and pruning range

We stock several cutting tools because different jobs need different tools:

  • FloraBrite Snips (this) — precision scissor-action for soft work; high-visibility anti-loss design
  • FloraBrite Bypass Secateurs — the cutting partner for woody stems up to 2.5cm
  • Collectors Fruit & Flower Snips (Pink) — the heritage scissor-action alternative for those who prefer the traditional aesthetic over fluorescent
  • Ergo Deadheader — ergonomic palm-squeeze design for arthritis-friendly precision work
  • Collectors Bypass Secateurs (Navy) — heritage aesthetic full-size secateurs
  • RHS Pocket Pruner — compact pocket-sized secateurs
  • Flora & Fauna Gift Set — coordinated trowel and secateurs in gift presentation

For precision soft work, the FloraBrite Snips and the Collectors Fruit & Flower Snips do the same job — the choice is purely aesthetic: bright anti-loss vs heritage Pink design.

About Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball are one of Britain's oldest toolmakers, founded in Sheffield in 1730 — nearly three centuries of British toolmaking heritage. They're RHS-endorsed, supplier to the Royal Horticultural Society, and the chosen manufacturer for the Sophie Conran licensed garden tool collection. We stock their range because they make proper garden tools the proper way — tested in real working gardens, built to last decades rather than seasons.

As a gift

At £13.49 the FloraBrite Snips sit at the genuine stocking-filler / small-but-considered gift price point. Particularly suited to:

  • A cut-flower grower — this is properly their everyday tool; bright colour means they'll always find it
  • A kitchen gardener or allotmenteer — the daily harvesting partner
  • Someone who already has secateurs — the natural complementary tool
  • Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays — properly affordable but genuinely useful
  • Christmas stocking — the kind of practical gift that gets reached for every week of the gardening year
  • Paired with seed packets or a small pot of herbs — turns into a complete herb-and-snip gift bundle
  • As an under-£15 add-on to a larger gift order
  • Older gardeners with hand strain — the lightweight design is properly easier than full secateurs

A small thought: there's a particular pleasure in the morning round of the cut-flower garden — basket on the arm, snips in the apron pocket, picking dahlias and sweet peas before the bees are up. The right tool for that morning round matters more than people realise. Snips that fit the hand properly, cut cleanly, find their way back into the pocket, and don't disappear into the bed when you set them down for thirty seconds. The FloraBrite snip is exactly that tool. Bright enough to find, light enough to wear all morning, sharp enough to do the job, and built well enough that it'll still be your morning-round companion in twenty years.

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

AMAZING debut novel!!!
Format: Kindle
Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶️🌶️.5 Romance 💘💘💘 Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dual 1st person POV - Ara (26) & Rogue (39 - but looks mid-20s: they can live hundreds of years so this isn't that large of a gap as it could've been which I heavily appreciate lol) Tropes: enemies to lovers, fae/human wars (deep hatred for each other), shifters (dragons- MMC can only partial shift with wings), one horse, one bed, touch her and d!e, found family, abduction turned to freedom The Last Storm is the debut novel from JD Linton and let me tell you, you guys NEED to read this. The plot was engaging and the editing was was amazing (especially for a debut novel). Our FMC, Ara, is stuck in her gilded cage longing for a life outside of her small town. She uses her books to escape and live vicariously through the pages (honestly, relatable). After her father announces her betrothal to her childhood friend (to whom she has no romantic feelings for), Ara tumbles unknowingly into a desperate plot trying to stop the humans from slaughtering the Fae. As one can expect from an enemies to lovers / kidnapper/captive romance, Ara fights her attraction and lust towards our MMC, Rogue (the King of the Fae), for as long as she can. Upon seeing Ara for the first time, Rogue is instantly aware that she is his fated mate (not a spoiler). Since she is the General's only daughter, he plans to abduct her and use her as leverage to stop the brutality. During Ara's time in Rogue's captivity, their banter and chemistry continue to rise until they finally boil over and come together (quite literally, and many times I may add 😉). Here's what I LOVED: - Rogue continuously seeks advice from his elders and deeply respects their opinions and life experience and tries to implement their recommendations - Rogue makes many mistakes in the beginning but we see him actively work on not repeating them as the book progresses. The level of self-awareness and his ability to change his behavior was impressive - The magic system is intricate and we have only scraped the surface. As the series continues and Ara progresses in her powers, I'm sure we'll get to see more of this. I absolutely LOVE the messaging system that is used in this book. - Ara's struggles are so human and so raw. She is experiencing so much guilt and pain and hurt and getting to see her work through each of these emotions is inspiring. Especially as her and Rogue get closer and she learns she can lean on him as well, that she is not alone. - While this is the start of a series, there is NO cliffhanger! There's a bit of a teaser of something major that is going to happen at the start of the next book, but it's not a cliffhanger in the sense that we aren't sure if someone is going to live or d!e or if they'll be separated. For that, I am very thankful! This book was so much fun that I will definitely be returning to book 2, even if it takes several months (or longer since this is an debut author) to publish! - Lastly, the cover is GORGEOUS! And I love the title! I'll copy a few of my favorite quotes below so you can have a little taste of the author's writing and the world she's cultivated. 😊 Top Highlights from The Last Storm On days like this, when my heart was heavy and my mind clouded, I resorted to books— to escape, to forget, to find freedom where I had none. If I were to marry him, my face would always be turned to the window, searching for more, and if not that, I would be a shell of the person I am now. I stepped back to admire her, thr0bbing at the sight. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. To ever exist. Nothing, no one, had ever deserved to be worshiped more. All men should be made to kneel before her. But she would have to settle for me. The taste of her met my t0ngue as my scent merged with hers, forever branding her. Mine. I l!cked the wound. Hers. Completely and utterly hers. I didn’t claim her in ownership. I claimed her as my one. Devoted myself to one. With that mark, my body and soul were bound to her. I would never be with anyone else, emotionally or physically. It would be her or no one, until my last breath. “Scream my name. Let everyone know who I belong to.” I had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and I was grateful to see another calm morning. “There will never be another woman for me.” He paused. “Ever.” I stilled at his words. “What… Why?” “This”— his thumb slid down across the mark—“ is a symbol of… surrender. I know you believe that it was my claim upon you, but it wasn’t. It never was. I bound my body and soul to you, little storm.” “I also know that it is more than this tiny, insignificant mark on your skin that binds me to you. It’s you. All of you. Your strength and resilience. Your determination to endure no matter what fate throws at you. Your love for love and stories and hope. You are entirely the opposite of everything that I am and I would gladly wear your shackles if it meant I could have you.” My mate. Mine. And then everything shifted and I understood. I understood everything. The surrender. The deep, soul-craving longing. Bound. I was bound to him. Body and soul. Entirely his. “I would’ve waited forever,” he whispered back, understanding. Seriously, everyone.. add this to your TBR!!

A Decent Fae Romance
Format: Kindle
** 3.5 Stars rounded up to 4 ** First off I want to say that I found the author, J. D. Linton, on TikTok right before the release of the sequel. I bought the first 2 books to support her release, so congrats to her for the release of the sequel! Overall, I liked the story & plot, I liked the characters, and I liked the spice. The downfalls: not enough development between the characters for the romance, and it leaned a little heavy into the tropes. A lot of stuff is told to you, which could have been used as devices to drive the plot and emotions of the characters. 🛑🛑 Mild Spoilers ahead, I tried to hide the obvious ones 🛑🛑 This is very obviously a fated mates, which is a trope I usually really enjoy. But I wish the relationship between Ara & Rogue had much more development before it's realized that they're mates, instead of Rogue knowing almost immediately and using it for nefarious purposes (at least in the beginning before they get to know each other). By revealing this within the first quarter of the book, I feel like it leaves less room for them to fall for each other organically (albeit with help from the mating bond) and they love each other because of the mating bond. I was disappointed as soon as Rogue know (literally only 5% in) and I literally made a note: "As much as II love a good mating trope, I wish we had to work for it a little more. Where's the fun in just telling us?" I believe that by holding out and feeding the reader snippets of a potential bond, it would've been more rewarding as a reader. I also wish there was more world building - we are told of a war between human & fae but don't get to really experience any of it. Ara is sheltered in her human home, then sheltered in Rogue's castle. There's bits and pieces about what the war has done on either side - but we're more told of the aftermath and don't really experience any of it. Ara's father is supposed to be the king's #1 general - yet he is at home with his family & with Ara for the first couple chapters. Her, her family, nor her village seem to be affected by the 10 year war going on on their borders. I wish there was a little more setup to make this conflict - an actual war - feel more than a skirmish between fighting territories. Linton could also be a little repetitive - with the biggest culprit being when Ara is upset she "brings [her] knees to [her] chest]" and either sits like that or cries. Every time she is upset this phrase is mentioned. I would get it if this was her crutch, or how she copes with grief and stress, but that should be explained why she does it so often or it becomes repetitive. I started to get annoyed with how often she would sit like this solely because it happens every couple chapters. However, I did really like the spice. I love an enemies to lovers trope, especially when it results in spicy scenes. The spicy scenes weren't anything new, but they were fun. Wish there were more but that could also just be me - there is no such thing as too much spice 😂 Would I read again? Probably not, I'm super picky with rereads. Although I did genuinely enjoy my first read through! Will I continue the series? Probably, at least for the sequel. As for #3, kind of depends on where I am with my TBR once that is released All in all an enjoyable, fast paced read
