I seem to have the same problem so I buy mine in multiples.
I think the fairies swoop in at night and steal them because it wasn't 6 months ago that I had five of them. I have to have scissors in Costa Rica. Everything here comes in a plastic bag. Sugar, salt, sour cream, milk, you name it, it comes in a plastic bag. If I didn't have my little scissors I would have to knaw my way through a ton of plastic just to fix one meal. But, they are environmentally conscious here, no more plastic grocery bags.
After that, these would be my most important small kitchen tools.
Spatulas. Yes, one of them is broken but it was my favorite one and it still works, sort of.
My microplanes.
Thermometers and scale.
After that would be my multi-timer app on my telephone. No photo because it's kind of hard to take a picture of my phone with my phone.
