Come away, O human child: To the
waters and the wild with a fairy,
hand in hand, For the world's more
full of weeping than you can
understand. - William Butler Yeats

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 fairy  lover’s spoon,
the nature lover’s spoon. The giving of such
spoons recognises the passions and
personality of the recipient.
