The Wooden Spoon is a Scandinavian shop and cultural center in Plano, Texas, located in the historic Forman house. It sells a huge variety of gifts, food, and cool things from the Nordic countries, including candy and lingonberry preserves. The shop is filled with great treats and gifts, described as the cutest Scandinavian shop in the world.
It is also a welcoming cultural center. The Sons of Norway and Finnish American clubs hold meetings there monthly. The staff are very wonderful, sweet, kind, and welcoming people, always ready to help. They help children with reports, give tours, help connect people with travel or genealogy experts, and answer questions on all things Nordic. The shop caters private parties.
While some note the imported goods can be expensive, the shop is a reliable source for Scandinavian specialty needs, with an online store offering affordable shipping. The experience of visiting makes customers giggle with excitement, and it is a place where people feel welcome. It is totally recommended and worth checking out.
Inventory seemed low but it sounded like it was due to the World Cup fans shopping there.
