Gallery: 9 Great Left-Handed Gifts for Southpaws
Lefty's Left Handed0101-6-piece-baking-set-(manufacturer-photo)
You're probably used to just grabbing any regular old, right-handed spoon to make dinner, uncomfortably angling your arm and wrist. What you desire is to stir your sauce like a regular person. Everything in [this set](https://www.leftyslefthanded.com/6_Piece_Left_Handed_Baker_s_Kitchen_Set_p/905048.htm) is made to accommodate lefties in the kitchen. There's even a proper oven mitt. Who knows, maybe this will somehow make meals taste better. ($35)
Amazon0202-Swan-Neck-Pen-(manufacturer-photo)
The intense slant and angle at which lefties are forced to position their wrists while writing bogles the right-handed mind. This [swan-neck pen](http://www.amazon.com/Aluminium-Swan-PEN-Presentation-Black/dp/B003S878V0/) ($16.50) helps keep things a bit more vertical and strain-free, and is also smudge-proof so you don't drag ink across the page as you go.
Maped0307-Maped-Lefty-Pen-(manufacturer-photo)
For something more disposable that your beneficiary can just toss into a bag or purse, go for this two-pack of [Maped ball-point pens](http://www.amazon.com/Maped-Visio-Left-Handed-Ball-Point-224327/dp/B00819BEBG/). They're made for lefties with that funky grip tip, and the ink won't smudge. You get one blue and one black for $11.
KnifeArt.com0403-Chris-Reeve-Sebenza-Insigo-knife-(manufacturer-photo)
If there's anything that you want fitted to your hand, it's a super sharp knife. Chris Reeve Knives are known for their craftsmanship and durability, so not only will this [Sebenza Insigo knife](http://www.knifeart.com/inleha.html) ($410) see you through any rugged adventures, it's also designed specifically for a leftie's digits.
Rhodia0504-Rhodia-Webnotebook-(manufacturer-photo)
Because lefties tend to write far into the right-side margins, a notebook that opens up and stays flat is a huge benefit. You want notebooks that stay together and are bound, rather than kept together with spirals—like the [Rhodia Webnotebooks](http://www.amazon.com/Rhodia-cf118609-Webnotebook-Black/dp/B002TEADOS) ($19.05), which happen to also be pretty slick-looking.
Apple0605-Apple-Watch-(manufacturer-photo)
We were excited about wearables before the [Apple Watch](https://www.wired.com/2015/04/the-apple-watch/), but it wasn't until Cupertino's tiny touchscreen arrived that we truly understood the impact this new class of devices can have. More than just an iPhone accessory, the Apple Watch has the potential to significantly alter our understanding of device interaction, software, mobile payments, and communications. It also happens to be the nicest-looking wrist-computer you can buy.
Gingher0706-Gingher-Knife-Edge-Bent-Trimmers-(manufacturer-photo)
A pair of scissors is perhaps the least sexy gift you could ever give—unless the recipient is left-handed, because that particular struggle is way too real. And as far as scissors go, this set of [Gingher 8-inches](http://www.amazon.com/Gingher-Knife-Trimmers-Lefthanded-01-005309/dp/B000UU6NXI/) is a beaut. ($19)
Razer08razer-deathadder-lefthand-gallery-3
Those regular, symmetrical mice that come with your computer (or even nicer ones, like Apple's wireless mice) can be set up to work left-handed. But an ergonomic, form-hugging mouse is so much more pleasurable to use. [Razer's DeathAdder](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYTSDU4/ref=s9_hps_bw_g147_i1) has a cool, bad-ass name because it's a gaming mouse, but it's also a really comfortable and accurate mouse for everyday spreadsheeting. Or you know, get it for a lefty who does both. It's loaded with programmable buttons for all their pointing, clicking, and scrolling needs. ($58.65)
HarperCollins0909-Sandy-Koufax-Bio-(manufacturer-photo)
Baseball managers will tell you that the most important attributes in a pitcher are accuracy and velocity. But third on that list? Left-handedness. Sandy Koufax had all three in spades, and the six-time All Star is one of the most revered aces in the long history of the game. His life story is fascinating and filled with drama, and [Jane Leavy's bestselling biography](http://www.amazon.com/Sandy-Koufax-Leftys-Jane-Leavy/dp/0061779008/) is a great read for any baseball fan. (Lefty or not!)
