Spoon straws are metal straws that have a spoon bowl attached, so you can use them to both stir and sip a cocktail, ice tea or ice cream floats and shakes. Although we’ve collected them over the years at flea markets, we had no idea that we could buy new one a set of 12 spoon straws + 2 cleaners for about $17. We’d tie them a ribbon to give as gifts. (We might include straw cleaning brush for $6.)

Anyway you slice it, these make great gift.
