True Party Paddle Stir Sticks, Pack of 5, Multicolor Cocktail Stir Sticks, Drink Accessories

I use these paddle sticks to stir my baby's formula. We used to shake it but he has severe GERD and gas so I've decided we need to err on the side of caution and not to anything to rock the boat. We use Dr. Brown's Options Bottles and a traditional spoon does not fit inside the bottle. I tried a butter knife but wasn't loving then.One day my roommate bought me a seven dollar vanilla pudding from a fancy Manhattan-ish cafe in New Jersey and it came very a very long and thin white plastic spoon. I began using that to mix the formula but it wasn't durable and I just couldn't justify spending $7 dollars on a pudding cup the size of my thumb simply to get a replacement spoon (apparently the cafe was unwilling to sell the spoons separately or even part with ONE).When the 3rd spoon broke I decided to look on Amazon for something similar even though I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for. As usual, Amazon did not disappoint. I actually found quite a few options of thin, durable-looking spoons.What made me choose this set to try was the paddle shape. I figured this might be a little better for the stirring. And it definitely is. Considering we have to use Gelmix Thickener and Mylicon Gas Drops and can't shake the bottle after heating it - we really needed a good stirring option.These work GREAT for that purpose. Stirs everything to a very nice consistency and is the perfect size to fit in the bottle. I also love the fun colors and the fact that you don't have to handle them with "kid gloves" to prevent them from randomly cracking in two. II will definitely recommend these party paddle sticks for both adult and baby drinks! And I'll probably be buying an extra set just for me because Mommy needs some party time after spending the whole week making batches of formula and washing endless baby bottles. These paddle sticks are just too fun to use exclusively for infant formula!

We got these for a camping themed bachelorette party at a lake house and they were a hit! They were extremely durable and reusable. I almost wished I could have had some disposable ones, but these were great and just a fun novelty to have.

We used these stir sticks for an adult beach bucket drink and they were just the right fun touch!

They look terrific and like the manufacturer actually took the time to make them resemble actual paddles. These work wonderfully as both stir sticks and drink markers since they are all different colors. Incredibly easy to clean, a quick rinse and wipe and they're ready to go once again. They have a good length to them so your fingers aren't getting wet while stirring a drink, they're lightweight enough that they won't topple most drinkware outside of disposable cups. Great for lakeside drinks with loved ones.

They're cute, festive, and do what they're supposed to, as an oar-shaped thing logically would. Another reviewer mentioned that they were too long. I think they're fine, are of similar length to some others I've seen, and are handy for taller drinks in taller glasses like I often pour. For a whiskey tumbler, sure, they're longish, but it's not like it really stays in the drink. I just bought them for stirring and that's perfect. Fix drink, stir, rinse in sink, put in dry rack, repeat. I think these would make a cute stocking stuffer or goodie-bag item or welcome-bag item or bridal party bag item - things like that. Note that the package says to handwash. But really they'd just need a rinse.

The reason I bought these is that I often drink my coffee from a Yeti cup which is stainless steel inside. I hate the sound of metal on metal so don't like using spoons. Its hard to find a long handled plastic spoon. These did the trick. Long enough to reach the bottom of a taller cup and no metal on metal sound. It doesn't say that they are dishwasher safe but I have been putting them in the dishwasher.

I’ve been buying these for years for drinks, they are the best! Wash up super great in the dishwasher!!!

A while ago, I had purchased some whimsical glass stirring rods. I liked having something easily rinsed and dedicated to just stirring beverages. Those were lost to time long ago and I'd been keeping an eye out for something similar. Found these and am quite pleased. I don't have a canoe/kayak so the oar shape isn't identifying, but turns out it is quite functional, the wide paddle end adding just just much more oomph to stirring.

Great buy, great for cocktails and used all the time, have brought more as gifts (everyone asks where i get them)

Love these! I had these at my house and my sister loved them so much, that I bought some more as a gift. Excellent to stir your coffee/drinks!

So much fun

These are really sturdy and thick. Not cheap. great colors and cute for the cottage!

Exactly what you see - drink stirrers that look like canoe paddles. They came, they paddled through my Tiki drink, they triumphed.
