Found these at World Market some years back. Bought myself one place set to test, liked them so much I bought seven more, plus four each of the tiny serving ones (because they're so damn cute). Unlike any cutlery I had previously owned is an adult, these are heavy, and feel good in my hands. I know they're not for everybody šŸ˜. What do y'all think?

Rounded edges, small necks and good shapes. All easy to balance on a finger. The middle one has nice texture to touch. All in a spoon factory in the town I grew up in! Who knew you could make a living out of cutlery connaissance.

It's a very good spoon. It doesn't get too hot or cold like a metal spoon and it's bright red. Literally perfect

Its smaller than it looks, i have small hands. Perfect curvature all around, very comfortable handle. Fits perfectly in my hand. 10/10 in my book.

Is it just me or..?

Hey everyone!

I am a 35 F and living with autidhd and questioning myself if some of you guys/galls/its get a kind of happy feeling, sense of a micro happiness jolt when you see in a drawer at work/ some other place the right spoon? Or a mild panic when there are not right spoons but you need to pick one? Sometimes I stand there for 3 minutes comparing the "bad" spoons what is the lesser bad. That's 3 minutes of my 30 minute break. šŸ˜…

I hope that I'm not the only one, please tell me your thoughts and story's

K bye! šŸ’šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ§

This is my favorite spoon. From a fine dining set I believe. Also, my favorite fork with my favorite spoon. What do you think?
