9 Gifts to Show Your Favorite Lefty Some Love on National Left Hander’s Day
Aug 13, 2017
Did you know that over 66 percent of lefties are frequently frustrated by everyday objects that are designed for right-handed people? Think pens, scissors, corkscrews, etc. According to a survey by BIC conducted by Wakefield Research, more than two-thirds of left-handed Americans have actually ruined an important document with the dreaded palm smear. Left-handers make up 10 percent of the population, but almost all *essential* products are designed solely for right-hand use. That just doesn’t seem right to us. Scroll on for nine products that will make left-handed life a lot less dangerous and a little more fun.
