Lovely serving or decorative spoon.
This arrives in a drawstring muslin storage bag inside a fold-top acetate bag.<br />If giving as a gift, this would be challenging to wrap as it arrives, but would fit in a small gift bag or find an appropriately sized box to wrap.  This would make a great standalone, any occasion gift for a spoon collector, or be a nice part (with some additional serving pieces) of a host/hostess or housewarming gift.<br />I like that it comes with the storage bag to protect it from drawer accidents (stray fork jabs or knife knicks) when not being used.<br />It is a very attractive serving spoon with an intricate leaf motif on the handle which lends it to multiple holiday feasts.  Thanksgiving pops into mind first, but then I think about Spring & all the leaves budding on the trees & that makes me think about Easter & Ostara, so this has multiple occasions that it is ready for, including 'It's Tuesday night & I feel like being fancy'!<br />As a wooden spoon, you'll want to wash it by hand & occasionally oil it with a neutral food oil like olive, grapeseed, or avocado.  I usually oil my spoons 1-2 times a year, or anytime they start to look dry.  The more it's used, the less often you'll need to oil it.  All it takes is a drop & a paper towel or a soft food safe rag (read, one that has not been used for cleaning with non-food safe chemicals).<br />The leaf design takes a moment to get used to holding, but is fine for serving.  I wouldn't want to try mixing up a batter with it or anything, though.<br />The wood is sturdy & attractive.  A nice piece to display as well as serve with.<br />I recommend.
