Buc-ee's Spoon Rest

Every cook has set a sauce-covered spoon down on the counter and regretted it immediately. A spoon rest is the small fix, and this one gives Buc-ee the Beaver a job in your kitchen.

People search for it as the Buc-ee's spoon rest, the Buc-ee's spoon holder, or the Buc-ee's ladle rest. Same one.

Where it fits: next to the stove on chili night, by the coffee maker for the stir spoon, or beside the grill for a basting brush. It's a sweet housewarming gift, a fun pick for someone moving into their first apartment, and the kind of white-elephant gift that gets stolen twice.

The honest part: it's made for spoons and ladles, so a giant barbecue mop may hang off the edge. White shows tomato sauce until it's rinsed, which is the job, really. It's a stovetop helper more than a showpiece, so don't be shy about getting it dirty. Buc-ee looks happiest with a little gravy on him.
