I still can’t tell if your serious. Why would you hold food with a clicker? Wouldn’t they get dirty?

Most things in life a comparison metric we can rely on. On a near equal footing, if you wanted an air filter, we have metrics for those so one might compare functionality. HEPA is the gold standard and its also known as PM 2.5. Want something better? There are PM 1 filters which remove even more from the air. And I'm sure there's something in-between or maybe even better than PM 1.
There is nothing like the above with water filters. There is no standard. You can buy a water filter at Dollar General, one from Brita at Walmart or an under sink system from your cousin Terry who is hawking the latest Multi Level Marketing water purifier and you have no way of knowing which is doing a better job. Why? There's no rating system like air cleaners. Air cleaners are rated on Particulate Matter (PM) containment. Water cleaners are based on nothing.
Now here is where, again, I'm going to say: If what I have said is wrong, please someone prove me wrong. I'm hoping someone comes off the top rope and puts me in my place with a knowledge drop.

I’ve had them for a few years and they always go on the top rack. Never had them come out stained or water spotted in any way.

These are the ones we use at work, and I bought several pairs for home. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/vollrath-4781220-jacobs-pride-12-stainless-steel-scalloped-tong-with-black-coated-kool-touch-handle/9224781220.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=CjwKCAiAl9efBhAkEiwA4TorirLnYnlUE-l1534d0APWB26dWrSkvXV1JjR9awGixz1KePgaJRj1bBoCcU0QAvD_BwE

Doesn't the government just tell you what you owe them in taxes?

There is a slit near one end that the other end of the velco strap fits through that allows the tie to cinch around the cable and not come off readily. Highly recommend these little things for cable organization.

I'm not an accountant, but I have a newer version, and it isn't as satisfying to use as the old school ones like you have.

IIRC, I used one just like this when I learned 10-key in high school.

Such a cool & thoughtful gift idea, OP!
I have a pair of Grenson boots. Resoleable, absolutely gorgeous, and good fit. Not inexpensive at all, but if the the leather holds up, the re-soleable bottom means I can keep them going for a long long time.
I like the “Fred” G2 fit. Just a tiny bit over your current budget. Sometimes these pop up on sale on their website.

Leather boots are very tough but they also need a brushing, cleaning and new coat of wax every now and then. So don’t forget a care kit.
In Germany I know the Burgol brand but it might be a different one in your country.
He doesn’t have to be as rigorous like in the military but leather needs that to become truly “for life”.

Sooo so good to use one. I miss my 10 key, but I don’t miss preparing tax returns.
Compromise: my laptop has a 10 key on it. I use it all the time.
