There is something about wooden spoons that gets to me. I guess any kind of beautiful wooden utensils. They are just so beautiful. (I collect wooden salad tongs if I can find them from any random place I go, and Claire and Elle have both brought me home some favorites from trips that I adore.) Anyway, having said that, when I saw these beautiful olive wood spoons at Trader Joe’s last year I fell in love with them and thought they’d be a great little gift idea. I gave them to a few friends for Christmas.

Such a beautiful symbol of Christ after all that olive wood I saw when I studied His life in Jerusalem with olive wood on every corner.

Such a beautiful symbol of service as they are used to serve those you love. (And sometimes those you might be trying to love;)

So as a presidency in the Relief Society we decided they were the best gift idea to give to the women in our church congregation for Christmas this year.

Just thought I would share. I also recently shared our sentimental birthday gift that we shared with the Relief Society.

Happy weekend!

        1. You can get these spoons at Trader Joe’s. They are seasonal so I’d recommend asking when they come in and be ready to buy right when they get there! (That’s what I did;)

    1. I’m so sorry I don’t have a pdf, my friend who was working with us last Christmas made it and she cleaned out her computer and doesn’t have it any more. I hope you can find something online that will work! Good luck!
