The best small exchange gifts create a guessing game before anyone reads the box. This green tool has a plastic edge at one end, a round pitting tool in the middle and a fan-shaped scoop at the other.
The verdict
The OXO slicer is easy to recommend when the recipient genuinely eats avocados several times a week. Its odd shape creates an instant gift-exchange reveal, and the three functions make the routine cleaner afterward. It cannot make a hard avocado ripe, it does not replace general knife skills and it is too specialized for an occasional user. For the right person, however, that specificity is precisely what makes the gift feel personal.

One end uses a plastic edge to open the avocado, the centre pitting tool grips the pit for twist removal, and the fan-shaped end scoops the flesh into slices.
OXO identifies model 1252180 as dishwasher safe. Position it so it cannot fall through the rack, and follow the care directions supplied with the current item.
It works well for a useful exchange under $25 when the group enjoys cooking gadgets. It is a weak choice for someone who rarely eats avocados or prefers multipurpose tools only.
Not particularly well. The fan is designed to move through ripe avocado flesh. A hard avocado is likely to resist, tear unevenly or stay attached to the skin.
