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!

I borrowed this idea from a post you made last year for some of my dearest friends. Thank you!
I’m so glad!

What a great idea!
Love this idea! Perfect for a “giving machine” like you to pass it on to those you love!
Hey- is it possible to get a pdf of the little message on the spoon?- Thanks….Paula from Tennessee
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!

Can I get a pdf copy of the tag you have? I love the picture and the quote.
I’m so sorry I don’t have that (see above). If she happens to find it I’ll definitely let you know!

Thank you for sharing this. I really liked it. Do you have a pdf copy of the tag you gave with the spoon. If so can I get a copy?
Dang I’d so love if I had this to share! I’m sure there are so many things online that could work, like I said above, come back and let us know if anyone finds something great!

Thanks to your sharing this idea, I got my own Trader Joe’s wooden spoon from our R.S. presidency, and I love it!
Oh I love that! Those wooden spoons are my favorite.
