The Story Behind Custom Spoon
Hello, I’m Kim, the owner and curator of Custom Spoon. While Custom Spoon is our focused brand today, my journey of custom engraving began in 2009. What began as a hobby with a homemade laser engraver (built by my husband Rob) grew into a passion for creating beautiful, personalized goods.
Today, from our workshop in Allen, Texas, we specialize in producing quality engraved wooden utensils at scale. We enjoy helping businesses and event hosts to create lasting impressions through practical, beautiful items.
My love for this work comes from seeing how a simple spoon can become part of family kitchens, special celebrations, and brand stories. Whether it’s a restaurant logo that guests remember long after their meal or wedding favors that guests actually use for years, we’re here to make that connection.
While I'm not a natural cook myself, I was blessed with a father who was. He passed his love of cooking to my children through countless hours in the kitchen teaching them to make delicious meals and tasty desserts. Watching them work together was always so heartwarming, and it inspired me to create spoons that become part of those special family moments.
At Custom Spoon, each wooden spoon is thoughtfully hand-selected and made-to-order with care. We use premium, food-safe woods like birch, oak, and bamboo that are durable and naturally beautiful woods that stand up to daily use. Every spoon is precisely laser-engraved for sharp, long-lasting detail (names, dates, quotes, custom designs, or word art), then hand-finished with food-grade mineral oil to protect the wood and enhance its warm glow. The result is heirloom-quality kitchenware that is both functional and meaningful.
Hearing your stories, the meaning behind a gift, how a spoon starred at a party or family gathering, makes every order special. There's nothing better than delivering a quality product that brings joy to our customers!
My husband and I are celebrating 30 years together in 2026. He's an essential ingredient in this journey. He handles woodworking, keeps the machinery and operations running smoothly, and always supports my ideas. We enjoy spending time with our grown daughter, son, and their spouses, and our grandson brings us more joy than we ever imagined!
Giving back has always been close to my heart. We launched our "One Spoon Feeds Another" mission: For every personalized spoon sold, we donate one meal to Feed My Starving Children. Inspired by the verse, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat" (Matthew 25:35), these donations allow us to spread warmth from our kitchen to children in need around the world. We are proud to support FMSC, where 91% of donations go directly to producing nutritious meals that fight malnutrition and bring hope to children worldwide.
Thanks for being here. I can't wait to create something for you!
