How are these gadgets for adding some panache to your table? Here are some really neat salt and pepper shakers! Which one is your favorite?
Having the king or queen over for burgers? Try these!
I really like these because they are so unique, but I could never use them on my table. I’m a bit of a klutz- I’d probably snag the ski on my drinking glass, and liquid would fly everywhere….
These are cute but there’s something slightly disgusting about shaking small crumbly items from an animal’s paw over my plate of food. 😮
Now THESE are classy.
These are great for the literalist is the family…
Perfect for the next Geek Convention or Consumer Electronics show….
Don’t accidentally load these into your TV remote…
These are very nice, but how can you tell them apart? I’d get them mixed up.
I like these because they are so obvious. But they are so narrow; I’d probably tip them over.
These are really unconventional! But as with the animal paws, it makes my stomach a little queasy to shake a critter over my food and watch sprinkly stuff fall from its mouth to my plate…
For the LEGO freak.
And finally, the Rubik’s cube shakers, for when the dinner conversation gets dull and you need to get in a little gaming…
Which was your favorite? I think I like the royalty ones and the LEGO bricks one best.
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

now i like the S and P but I grind my pepper so that won’t work lol I actually just broke my pepper grinder so now i’m on the hunt for a new set because it will look tacky if i just buy a new pepper grinder and it doesnt match my salt shaker.

Hmmm… probably the batteries.
The ants are just plain creepy! 😀

I loved all of them. But I think the skiers the most.

Those are awesome! I love the rubix cube and the Legos… but my favorite would be the piano.

I think I like the royal ones best too. In fact, I agreed with all your reactions to each set. Interesting post!

Oh, the ants are my favorite!! I LOVE those! I have a little pea pod on my table now and the two peas are the salt and pepper. I don’t know why, but I like stuff like that. Your finds are GREAT!!!
