It’s not a repurposed toy, it’s an actual piece of disposable flatware, so I’m okay with it.
My primary concern with all the weirdness we see in this sub is how unsanitary much of it is. By comparison, this is humdrum and safe.

I'll just go ahead and list a few of the things I use on a regular basis.
Koriko shakers are awesome. They look cool and function amazingly. Good investments. End of story.

I prefer using a julep strainer over a hawthorne strainer, it works fine for me when I'm not muddling things into the drink I don't want served.

Get speed pourers. Even if you don't plan on free-pouring, they're nice to have a more standardized pouring speed so you can pour out of an entirely full bottle without worrying about spilling too much.

A cheap bar spoon is an awful experience. A decent bar spoon is fine. An overpriced barspoon is (generally) just overpriced metal. However, the Tanqueray spoons and the Standard Spoon on kickstarter are actually pretty nice quality stuff. But that said, almost everyone I've met likes the regular old bar spoon.

Have a jigger on hand, even if you free pour. Just for when you have nicer ingredients and want to try out a drink with them and would rather have the proportions right than have to revive the drink.

I make a lot of bitters myself or super small batch infusions, so having a set of mason jars on hand has been extremely helpful.
I use cheapo squirt bottles ( http://amzn.com/B007OM9W2E ) to store simple syrup or other infused simple syrup.
If you get super into infusions and stuff like that, I've heard a lot of good things about the iSi system; I have a friend with one, he absolutely loves his. I have to admit, it takes a lot of work and patience out of infusion. As well as whipped cream, or carbonating things, or what have you... now I might want to get one.
These two items are somewhat paired (at least for me) -- a water filter and an ice tray. For ice, I'm talking like the Tovolo King Size ice trays. Water filter -- doesn't matter, as long as it filters from what I can tell.

Something that's nice to have on hand so you can double-strain is a fine-mesh strainer. Can be harder to find on the cheap though, I ended up breaking down and going to a Bed Bath & Beyond for mine since everything on Amazon was fairly expensive the thrift shops near me didn't have one.
Get nice glassware. I remember when I was younger and someone demonstrated the importance of having nice glass when tasting wine. The same thing applies. This isn't exactly bar-tools, but it's critical to your cocktail experience. Drinking out of cheap glasses, or the wrong glasses, will really hurt the presentation and your perception of the cocktail. In essence, t's important to take pride in both how you make the cocktail and how you serve the cocktail.
That's all I got for now.
Amazon: Gold Flower Spoons

Maybe 50% of the economy and 50% of jobs are concerned with producing and selling things that people don't actually need - stupid novelty items, gifts for the home etc. Stupid shit like fondue mugs or cat-shaped cutlery or a calendar of nature's dick pics or temporary tattoo kits or Billy Big Mouth Bass singing fish. The list goes on and on and on and on. We are killing the planet to extract raw materials to produce this endless torrent of unnecessary pointless shit. Not only that, but hundreds of thousands of people miserably waste their lives producing and marketing this crap that benefits nobody. It is not essential to meeting the needs of anyone.
If you get rid of these industries, the health of the planet immediately improves and you free all these people from this pointless labour. It's not gonna happen though, governments won't allow it.
Yeah, apparently you can get some pretty fancy ones made of sterling silver. I’ve never used one, I just happen to know what it is.
As for a mixing spoon, I personally like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2RIWEJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_GPM2V9jxMQuYB

One other thing I've found really helpful is long spoons. Great for coffees, ice cream, and getting the last little bit hiding in a corner of the jar without getting my fingers dirty.

Absolutely.

Coffee gear is always a great option. Depending on what he currently has, you could get him a kettle, scale, pour over/etc.
If he is already good on gear and you want to get him something to try out different options, a cupping set could be a good idea. Get him the spoons and cups along with a few interesting coffees from specialty roasters. Not overly expensive either.

You can find tons of interesting coffees all over the internet or check out a local roaster in your town.
Edit: a good grinder also makes a great gift option (and the Virtuoso+ was just released)

Right now it's my skull spoon that I use for coffee!

We bought these spoons from Amazon just to mix formula and they work amazingly well! We never have clumps anymore and mixing is a lot faster! Can’t believe we didn’t buy them sooner. We keep them in an empty water glass in the same cabinet as the bottles so the are always very clean. On the go we take a few spoons with us in a ziplock
In looking for that spoon, I discovered that it's technically called a honey spoon.
