5 out of 5 starsCustomer service is beyond words for helpful!! They followed up with me and helped me work through issues with what to order. I highly rec this product. I went to the site and am getting the spoons and cups. I loovvvee these jars. I thought about how to save space and was thinking I wonder if I could stick them to my fridge. So I thought someone had to have thought of this and searched Etsy and sure enough. They offer hundreds of spices to go with them. Very highly rec on customer service alone let alone the product. Kindness is hard to come by these days and they were both kind and patient. Thank you gneiss spice! I cannot thank you enough for the follow up and special attention you took time to give me!!

5 out of 5 starsSo fun and beautiful! Took us a while to figure out where to put the spices but when or new fridge ended up being a few inches too deep, we took advantage of it. Fresh, beautifully packaged and creative. Good job!

5 out of 5 starsI LOVE these little spice containers! They look so cute and it's a greater way to finally move our spices over the stovetop, where they belong. I will definitely be buying more as our spice cupboard grows!

Rack 'Em Up! Herbs & Spice and Everything Gneiss...
This was me in 2009: Living in a tiny Brooklyn apartment, afraid to open my spice "cabinet" for fear of the avalanche of unorganized spices that would come crashing out. I didn't even season our food, I mean, what spices were inside and how old were they?!?
Visiting a friend's apartment, I was inspired by her magnetic spice rack made with jelly jars - amazing and so simple! I rushed home to make my own, and was even more delighted when I found hexagonal jars that would fit together creating a spice honeycomb on my fridge. Gneiss Spice was born!
As to the origin of our shop name: This friend that inspired me was a geology partner in college. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock, but it also happens to be pronounced "nice" and rhymes with spice (so clever!). And, I was also teaching Earth Science in the NYC public schools, so you could say I had rocks on the brain. Sometimes people misread our shop name as "Genius Spice." I like to take that as a compliment!
In 2013, I completed my 10th year of teaching and left the classroom and take Gneiss Spice full time. We packed up our NY spices studio (what most people call a living room& kitchen), and created a permanent spice studio in an old barn in Maine! On December 16th, 2013, we became a FAMILY business with the addition of Althea Baby Spice!
We donate a minimum of 5% of profits to charity. Help us decide where by purchasing one of our charity gifts: http://www.etsy.com/shop/GneissSpice?section_id=6696883
