There's nothing like cute salt and pepper shakers to make an ordinary meal on an ordinary seem a little brighter. Above, Koziol of Germany created these birds on a tree salt and pepper shaker set. You can buy it here.
More salty-and-peppery cuteness after the jump.
Monkey Business, an Israel-based design studio created Rainshakers, shaped like rain clouds. Designed by Sooda Mayer. Buy them here.
The famed Italian design house, Alessi, makes these fun, toy-like salt and pepper shakers with a little toothpick-holder critter to finish off the table top scene. Buy the set.
Can you roll me the salt please? Troika (Markus Gläser/Michael Kibler) designed Fastfood, a ceramic egg-shaped car salt shaker on wheels. Passing the salt was never so easy (or fun!) Buy it here.
It also comes in a really cute egg-box package.
Pepper and Salt are also the initials in the Adobe Photoshop software icon (Ps). Designed by Frack Design.
A beauty from Charles & Mary. This set look like pebbles stacked one on top of the other for a real zen atmosphere.
Myan Duong designed salt and pepper shakes that look uncannilly like cigarettes. Interesting idea, but I don't know if I'd feel great shaking this into food.
We end off with the Brooklyn studio, Domestic Aesthetic's natural materials shaker set (probably my favorite!), available for purchase at Branch.
