Happy International Left Handers Day to all the lefties out there! Yes, 13 August is the day for the southpaws, since 1976 at least.
On International Left Handers Day, we celebrate the uniqueness of being left handed. After all, left handers are in good company. Some famous left handers include Helen Keller, Barack Obama, Henry Ford, Lewis Carrol, Ringo Starr, Oprah Winfrey and the list goes on. Did you know that even Leonardo da Vinci was left handed (well, some say ambidextrous)? Genius, correct?
Happy International Left Handers Day
In honour of International Left Handers Day, here are 10 things which lefties will appreciate.
Left Handed Mug
Tired of all those mugs designed for right handers with the pictures on the wrong side? This left handed mug will show them. Using it with the wrong hand may result in stained clothes. Warning included. Or check out a mug which says “I May Be Left Handed But I’m Always Right” instead.
Left-handed Can Opener
No more struggling trying to twist the knob on can openers with the right hand. This can opener is built the correct way around – at least for lefties! Shop here.
Left-handed Kitchen Scissors
With all the cooking that everyone has been doing, would it be nice to have a proper set of kitchen scissors which work just as well for lefties? This one is designed to do just that. Check it out here.
Computer Mouse
The ergonomics of some computer mouses are specifically designed for right handers. So it is nice to find an ergonomic mouse specially for southpaws.
Tape Measure
Need to get some home improvements done? Lefties who have had to use a normal tape measure will know that it is a challenge to read number upside down if using the left hand. A left handed tape measure helps to solve that problem.
