[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Medium
[destination] Given to a family in need
[info] I have 2 sets of these and I’m downsizing to one. This was a bit of a tough choice, as I received them as a gift. I really like them, but I just have to keep going with the downsizing.

[item] A scoop, small condiment tongs and a wooden butter brush
[purchase info] The scoop and tongs were free, paid full price for the butter brush
[time in my possession] Approximately 8 years on the tongs and brush, scoop 1 month
[last used] Tongs, years ago. Scoop, never. Brush, 2 months ago.
[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Easy
[destination] Thrift store
[info] I got the scoop for free in a bag of other stuff. I simply don’t need it. The tongs I think were marriage-acquired and not needed. The butter brush is one of two that I have. I’m not Rachel Ray and I clearly don’t need a back up brush.
