ONE OR TWO OF A KIND

Something that is “one of a kind” is unique, unlike anything else. (The phrase is sometimes hyphenated.)

 For example:

 “Charity shops have become a staple feature of our town centres, offering bargain-hunters an array of one-of-a-kind finds without the high street price tags.”

 “He was really one of a kind. He just really had a real spark … a real enthusiasm.”


However, things or people that are “two of a kind” are the same or almost identical.

 “He and the late John Davies were two of a kind.”

 “Two of a kind - China’s first pet cloning service duplicates star pooch”
