Add Unique Details

Need to stir in honey, sugar, or milk into your tea? Try using our stir sticks adorned with flowers, tea cups, or whatever you choose! These would look simply darling on the table and can be multi-purposeful as well! Use them as skewers for appetizers and small bites to add some personal style to your hors d'oeuvres. They are also a great way to keep track of which drink is yours!
