Thistle spoon, handmade in lead free pewter
by Glover and Smith.
Great gifts for Scottish people
Length 100 mm boxed
Up wi' the flowers of Scotland,
The emblems o' the free
Their guardians for a thousand years,
Their guardians still we'll be,
A foe had better brave the de'il
Within his reeky cell,
Than our thistle's purple bonnet,
Or bonny heather bell.
- James Hogg
Unlike the knife, the spoons friendly and feminine
character makes an ideal gift or souvenir; an expression of love, commitment and memory.
Spooning can also mean kissing, caressing or even
courting, there is a Welsh custom of lovers carving
love spoons for each other.
The gift of a spoon implies caring and themed spoons
imply empathy: the Scottish spoon, the nature lover’s
spoon. The giving of such spoons recognises the
passions and personality of the recipient.
