Giraffe Decor: For Adults?

Spotted over the weekend: giraffe measuring spoons at Anthropologie that are ridiculously cute and functional as well as decorative. At the store on Southport we saw the set in both black & white and multi-colored. While the giraffe is typically reserved for kids' room decor and toys, we love this small touch of whimsy that you could add to an otherwise sophisticated and modern kitchen.

What do you think? Cute or too cutesy?

Available at Anthropologie for $28.

two questions:
Do they stack?
Are they accurate?

I bought a cute cup measuring set from Anthropologie--and it was totally inaccurate!

I have these. I don't cook with them. They do stack on top of each other, but they're not sturdy enough to really trust them like that. I like them for simple display purposes.

I also own these, they are not for use! I display them.

Sadly, my cat knocked them down and their necks broke. I super-glued them back together.

i own the set in black and white and agree with others that they are best for display. the smallest one has a very fragile neck that broke and I also had to super-glue it back on. cute, a least in my opinion!

I have a mild obsession with all things Giraffe. So I think these are awesome! Not to cutesy!
