Onetouch chopper's are a great gift for any mom. I use mine to cut onion's, carrot's, celery, nut's, pickles, or even to make my own bread crumbs. I have even minced garlic in my chopper, and they wash up nice in the dish washer. I love my handy dandy chopper, it saves me a lot of time when I am cooking. I have seen these chopper's in pretty much any store that sells cooking supplies. I got mine at Wal-mart for $10.00 and I have seen them has high as $20.00. Maybe consider a chopper this year for the cook in your life.
