Flower Tools
I don’t mean tools to work on your flowerbed, but tools that are covered with colorful flower prints.
Like a little garden of their own, huh?
They had a variety of tools available with the decorations.
The pic above is of tape measures. I left a traditionally colored measure in the box because the ones with flowers looked like nothing so much as those little decorative soaps that some people put in the guest bathroom.
Claw hammer, needle nose pliers, tape measure, screwdriver. Looks like all the very basics are covered, and you can also get a handy package with a canvas belt included.
To anyone who is even causally handy around the house, this looks to be an awful idea. What serious do-it-yourselfer would demean themselves by using such gaudy tools?
But, obviously, these are not intended for people who work with their hands in a serious way. If I had a daughter that just moved out, she would certainly get the package deal as a stocking stuffer this Christmas.

When working construction in the summers while in college, the tools in my bucket were painted pink (bright pink). Kept them from growing feet.
Yeah, if they were of sufficient quality, I would use floweredy tools too.

Garrison Keillor, years ago, had a “commercial” about using kiddy-style tools–to keep the kids from taking and using them.

Unless I am greatly mistaken, I believe these tools are extremely cheap Chinese junk. I had a non-decorated hammer like that. Had, because I used it to try to pull a nail, and the hollow tube shaft bent into a crease.
If I am incorrect as to the quality of the tools pictured, I apologize.

Didn’t take that close a look at them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the case.
