Design Mom posted about chic salt and pepper shakers recently. Well having just shopped for a replacement set of our own not long ago, I thought I’d share the flip-side. See, I like my salt and pepper shakers to be shaped like little animals, or people, or to have science jokes, and so on. Maybe they’re not chic, but they’re fun! Of course I’m always drawn to shapely white ceramics too. Here are my top ten salt and pepper shakers…

yay! nice selection. I have #4 <3
Love this post :)
Love #10! They are so great.
Cute!! I love them all. You should check out the ones I found when I was out and about a couple weeks ago ( http://www.dreamindomestic.com/2009/10/26/incredible-weekend-finds/ ). They’re Scottish Terrier salt and pepper shakers, or I suppose you could say one is a Scottie and the other is a Westie. I had to buy them since I have a Scottie and love him to death. Let me know what you think!
I have been obsessing over the hug shakers for years now. I saw them in person once and was disappointed that they were smaller than i imagined. Still cute nonetheless.
I have another cool one for you: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26664636 Made by ArtMind. These are so cute!
I have the hug ones! They are adorable.
Cute idea with the top ten list! Salt and pepper shakers are fun! I bought a bunch of vintage ones from a flea market and stuck flowers out of them and then put them on my window sill. They looked so cute!
These are so much fun! I know people who collect vintage shakers and I’ve been known to pick up an interesting pair while thrifting, but these new styles are just awesome. #8 is my favorite. I’ve gifted them to a couple in the past.
I still don’t get this whole mustache fad.
Salt and pepper shakers can be so neat. I really like the ones you picked :)
I love the chemistry salt and pepper set, it would be so funny for me to own!
I also found myself shopping for a new set of s&p recently. I purchased this set. I thought of you while I was shopping because of your post not to long ago. I knew you would come up with something rad!

Here they are. Ninjas!
I have #8 (hug) which I love as well. But the salt holes are a little large on mine, and the salt comes out too fast :(
Oh man, I LOVE #3 and #10. My grandma has collected salt and pepper shakers for years and years. When she moved into the assisted living center, my mom got all of them. One of these days, I need to go through and find them.
I fell in love with the NaCl, Pe+Pe r Salt n Pepper Shakers and had to buy them, including some other gimics from that web page.
I’ve always loved the bird shakers by Jonathan Adler but the moustache one is killer!
The moustache ones are great!
I have been looking for some good Salt & Pepper shakers…Love all your choices!
I love your layouts. And these are seriously some of the cutest shakers ever! good wedding shower gifts!
I LOVE these! I’m particularly fond of the hug pair. Gotta love black and white ceramic. I recently found two froggy friend who would fit right in with all your picks: http://www.ahamodernliving.com/store/pc/Frog-Salt-Pepper-Shaker-12p62.htm
I’m deathly afraid of frogs, but those guys are just cute :)
these would be super cute wedding gifts! even if the person isn’t registered for them. who wouldn’t want a moustache s&p shaker set!?
hey there! What do you use to create your inspiration boards? I’m looking for a blank board online that I can pull in products from all over the web to create design boards of any variety – any ideas?
Thanks in advance :)

I love the round “good chemistry” shakers. Very cute. Thank you for sharing!

The moustache is hilarious!
I love the Jonathan Adler shakers. I have looked at those so many times and contemplated buying them.
The dork in me loves the Good Chemisty set.
Hi Nicole,
I’ve been loving your blog for a while — and all that you do.
I’ve also been admiring Classic Century from Crate & Barrel. Luv the design. I was ready to buy but there are some negative reviews on C&B about the dishware chipping and cracking. Boo. :(
Anyone else have any experience with this product?
xo,
kristin jo
oh I see Granit at DWR is also designed by Eva Zeisel, that might be a better option for a lasting product
I actually bought the mustache one the other day! can’t wait for it to arrive. I did an entire mustache themed blog post too in honor of my purchase.

The little “hug” shakers are the bee’s knees.

Love #1 & #9 – so sweet :)
Moustache! Love it!
Love all of these. It’s so hard to pick one.
#8 the “Hug” if you look at each figure well, they look like Death and Ghost hugging each other: scary, not cute!!!

Lovely little compilation! I actually purchased the HUg shakers at a booth in the Union Square Farmer’s Market for $10 after loving them forever. Great deal! I also really like the Adler ones, of course!
