Might I have an obsession with measuring spoons? I have a very cute set of heart-shaped spoons that measure things out like "a spoonful of laughter." Now I think I might actually start collecting measuring spoons, the way some people collects balloon whisks or other kitchen utensils.
I love these measuring spoons made by Decor Craft Inc out of Providence, Rhode Island. At first glance, they look just like regular round measuring spoons, but if you look closely, the fractional measurements are actually cut out of the spoons.

If you want a good set of spoons, look at these from the Baker's Catalogue:

Heavy stainless steel, narrow enough to fit into spice jars, easy cleanup, all of the sizes you need, and easy to use. I have those and love them, and I'd take another set of those over cutesy, fat, hard-to-use clever-looking spoons any day.

Con: They don't nest, thus take up more space than they should.
