General FAQs

We’re a kitchen accessories brand that specializes in making miniature cutlery that’s both bespoke and colorful. Think of us as the Yoda of the culinary world—small but incredibly powerful when it comes to precision and style.

Oh, they’re *extremely* useful! Sure, they’re cute, but they’re designed for precise measurements of spices, powders, and other ingredients. You’ll never overdo the cayenne again (unless you *really* want to).

Nope, they don’t shrink, we promise. They’re intentionally tiny because, like all good things in life (cats, snacks, Baby Yoda), the best stuff comes in small packages. Also, precision is key, and these spoons are built for the spice-loving perfectionists out there.

Technically, yes. You can use our spoons for whatever your heart desires—like measuring glitter for your latest crafting adventure, or stirring your morning potion (we don’t judge). Just don’t try digging a hole with them. That’s… not what they’re for.

We’re always open to creative ideas! Thor’s hammer spoon? Sounds like a challenge we’d love to accept. Get in touch with us for custom design inquiries, and we’ll see if we can summon the power of Mjölnir in spoon form.

We use high-quality materials that are as durable as they are vibrant. Most of our spoons are dishwasher safe—because we know you don’t have time to hand wash tiny cutlery when there’s a galaxy to save. Check each product’s details for specific care instructions.

Absolutely. Whether you’re a Michelin-star chef or just trying to impress your in-laws, our spoons are up for the task. They’re precise, durable, and bring a little fun to your food prep. Plus, who doesn’t want to sprinkle salt with a spoon that looks like it belongs in a wizard’s toolkit?

Puns come standard. We don’t charge extra for bad jokes, nerdy references, or the occasional innuendo. Consider it our gift to you. You’re welcome.

We’re not going to lie—Amazon Prime’s got speed, but we’ve got *style*. Standard shipping usually takes 5-7 business days, but you’ll get updates along the way to keep you in the loop. If you’re in a rush, we offer express shipping because no one should wait too long for epic mini cutlery.

You bet. Whether you’re outfitting your whole spice cabinet or planning a miniature cutlery army, we’ve got discounts for bulk orders. Reach out to us for details, and we’ll hook you up with some sweet deals.
