My Favorite Stocking Stuffer Is a Clever Kitchen Timesaver, and I Found So Many Pretty Versions for $15 or Less

I like to get in and out of the kitchen as quickly as possible, so anything that slows me down, like dull knives and inefficient appliances, has to go. One thing I’m so glad to get rid of? My old clunky measuring spoons.

The white plastic spoons I bought over ten years ago were one of those sets that were held together by a ring and were too hard to separate. Every time I needed to use one, I dragged every other spoon, which meant I had to wash them each time. And I don’t have a dishwasher — me a.m dishwasher.

But three years ago I found magnetic measuring cups in my Christmas stocking and my whole perspective on this kitchen necessity changed. And right now, Amazon is overflowing with sub-$15 versions of these handy little time savers; some even come with holiday deals.

My favorite thing about magnetic measuring spoons is that I can detach them with one hand, pulling the set to use only what I need. My other favorite thing about them is that they are double-sided, so technically, my set of six has 12 spoons. The round side is for liquids and oils, while the oval side is for placing in narrow containers for spices.

The best-selling set of magnetic measuring spoons on Amazon as of this writing starts at just $10. It has received tens of thousands of five-star ratings, with customers saying the spoons are “very sturdy” and “easier to use” than traditional versions.

Another $10 option is this eight-piece measuring spoon set, which is like mine in that each sticker is a different color. This makes them easier to distinguish when the label inevitably wears off after hundreds of washes. Most importantly, both of these sets include 3/4 teaspoons – something I wish my collection had.

Trust me: these are socks your family members want to see – I know I do. Pick up Magnetic Measuring Spoons on sale today at Amazon.
