If you think they're adorable now, wait until you see them in person. Use these tiny olive wood spoons for salt and spices, or try them with ice cream. Each one is hand-carved in Nairobi, Kenya, and finished with a bone handle.
Because each spoon is carved by hand, the grain and shape vary a little from piece to piece.
