Tunkables: Tunkables are vintage tabletop items that are restored to their original luster, hand-inscribed with whimsical words and phrases appropriate to their use and recycled for renewed use and enjoyment. They have all the grace, charm, and utility of bygone eras, yet are updated by the inscriptions.

Typically, Tunkables are engraved on the blades of the spreaders, the tines of the forks, and the bowls of the spoons rather than on the handles, giving them a unique look. Butter spreaders, for example, say 'SPREAD LOVE' or 'SPREAD JOY'. Serving pieces might say 'EAT YOUR VEGETABLES' or 'HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST'. Tunkables also include small dishes, bowls, and trays engraved with quotes by famous writers and thinkers or words or sayings commemorating personal milestones, family events, weddings, births, etc.

The name Tunkables comes from "tunk" - the sound the hammer makes when it strikes each letter of the inscription.
