Chic and Charming: Wooden and Lacquered Spoons as Classic Petite Gifts

2020.01.26 published

Classic Petit Gift "Spoon" ♡

The "Petit Gift" given at the very end of the wedding.

Petit gifts can be various items like drinks or sweets, but a classic small item since ancient times is the "spoon"＊

It symbolizes "scooping up happiness" and "sharing happiness" as a good-luck item ♡

I already have stainless steel spoons…!

Spoons are a classic petit gift item, but most households already have ordinary stainless steel or metal spoons at home.

Small spoons are always useful, but

"Will they actually use it?"

"Compared to what they already have, will it feel cheap?"

"There are compatibility issues with other cutlery, it might be considered awkward…"

Some brides may hesitate to choose them.

For such brides, I recommend preparing "wooden" or "lacquerware" spoons instead of metal ones!

Many households may not have wooden or lacquerware spoons, so they are less likely to be duplicated.

✅ Useful for eating Japanese sweets or ice cream

✅ For serving condiments

✅ For distributing seasonings

They seem to be quite handy＊
