Avanti Mezzaluna Chopping Set with Board, Silver/Wooden

II struggle using normal knives to finally chop small quantities of herbs (basil or cilantro for example), garlic, spring onions, chives  and that sort of greens so I bought this set to have this sorted. This works well, but I find the double blade an hindrance, because, although the two blades do a great job, a bit amount of product gets in between them and you have to lift the cutter to chop those. The cutter comes with a complimentary cutting board, which is slightly convex in the centre. Personally I find it unnecessary as I chop my herbs and greens on a large timber board, but it's a nice touch! Both the cutter and board are good quality, just too small for my linking.

Sevensun 6-piece Small Wooden Teaspoon

This set of spoons looks as fabulous in real life as in the photo. They are great for my large containers of loose tea, sugar, coffee and chocolate. They are a bit bigger than expected for a spoon that is described as small and mini in the product info page. As you can see in my photo, they are as long as an average teaspoon. They are deeper than the metallic spoon on the photo, so the quantity you get is almost the same or a tiny bit less. In that regard, I was disappointed as I expected this to be a mini spoon not an almost average teaspoon. Now, this is not a spoon that I would use and wash every day due to the use I give them, but I've washed them by hand and it I didn't notice any decolourisation or scratching. In short, a lovely set of wooden average teaspoons that can be used for different purposes, but not mini by any means.
