We got these lemon and lime hand juicers as a present. We've used them to make citrus dressings and lemon shandies, and we love them. In fact, we're thinking of buying them for a couple of our friends. They'd make a nice housewarming present or a perfect summertime gift for a hostess. The ones shown at left are available at Crate and Barrel.
Williams Sonoma has a two-in-one version (shown right) for $20, and Sur La Table offers separate juicers for lemons, limes and oranges. While some might prefer the ease of an electric juicer, we like the satisfying squeeze you get from these manual models (and the bright colors are a bonus).

The same juicers at CB look like the ones I saw at Target the other day (Kitchen Aid). I believe the ones at Target are cheaper, too.

I have one of these too Sarah and love it so much! It's especially great if you make your own margaritas!!!! YUM! I have the lemon-sized one and have never had problems squeezing smaller limes in it.
I've seen them in "grapefruit" size and have wondered how well one of those works. Seems like they would be too small. Maybe they're meant for oranges instead.

Get the lemon sized one. I have had no problems using it for lemons, limes and even most oranges! no need for multiple sizes unless you have space you're trying to clutter.

I just picked up a lemon juicer from Cost Plus that looks just the same, and cost $11.99!
