These were clearly designed by someone who actually cooks. They look great, and are nice to hold. I love that they have the relevant ml marked on them as well at the cup size, which is practical for the mix of metric/imperial in modern cooking. They nest tightly so they don't waste space, and they have a little lip on one edge to help you lift them out. The spoons are narrow, so they fit inside spice jars! They also sit flat on the counter so you can measure out ingredients and leave them till you're ready. The larger cups have additional measurements marked on them which can be read on both the outside and inside. They will last a lifetime. This would make a really lovely gift (although the box presentation is nothing special).
