Wooden spoons are woven into Greek family legend—the trusted companion of hardworking grandmothers juggling childcare and cooking with remarkable grace. When mischief struck and chaos threatened the kitchen, Yiayia would pause mid-stir, grab her wooden spoon, and unleash a barrage of hilariously creative Greek warnings. "Θα φας ξιλό" (you'll eat wood) and "Θα σε βρασώ" (I'll boil you) became the stuff of childhood memories—playful threats delivered with just enough theatrical flair to make even the rowdiest kids crack a smile and settle down.
Since 2008, we've been the original creators of these cheeky engraved wooden spoons, bringing those timeless Greek grandmother phrases to life. What started as a clever idea has become a beloved tradition that keeps families laughing and remembering the spirited wisdom of Yiayia.
