Description:

Our small teaspoon charms have a dual purpose, and we are so excited when we find products that can help to benefit people in a variety of ways. 

We are proud to be able to offer these teaspoon charms that come in a pack of 12 charms per bag: 

1. Crafting Needs. From jewellery to scrapbooking —  sew your charms onto any favourite decorative items.

2. Promoting the story, “The Spoon Theory”. What is the Spoon Theory? It is an analogy that was created by a woman named Christine Miserandino, who was struggling to explain to her friend what it was like to live her life and in her body, with having to ration and portion out her energy resources to help her get through to the end of the day. She gave her friend a set of teaspoons, and told her to go about her day - but every activity would cost her friend a spoon. Soon enough the friend learns that she doesn’t have enough spoons to do what she wants and needs to in a day and had to start to make calculated decisions on what she would and would not hypothetically do. But this reality is not hypothetical for many of us — it’s our daily reality. 

The spoon theory is about navigating chronic illness, energy management and pacing/fatigue techniques. It helps explain in an easy to understand way what it is like to not be able to do everything you want in a day. For people with chronic illness, a huge following has developed and a community who refer to themselves as “spoonies”. Regardless, it’s a huge and powerful way to help explain what it is like day to day in a body with illness. And especially the more hidden illnesses and disabilities that people don’t always really see… 

The spoon theory is a great way to raise awareness, to connect with others, open conversation and dialogue and help create more understanding for the future of all who have and manage chronic illnesses.
