Boston Warehouse Animal House Owl Salt Grinder

Boston Warehouse Animal House Owl Salt Grinder

Owls are well known for being wise; they are also famous for being able to turn their heads around almost in a full circle. The Boston Warehouse Animal House Owl Salt Grinder understands both of these properties.

Although it is labeled a salt grinder, it would probably work just as well for peppercorns. And as everybody who is wise knows, freshly-ground pepper is vastly superior to that powdered stuff that comes in a shaker. To use, just twist to grind for fresh spices; and no worries, this little owl can turn its head all the way around!

…To Boldly Go Where No Spice Has Gone Before

Westland Giftware Star Trek Command Insignia Salt and Pepper Shakers

Trekkies, rumor has it, are an obsessive bunch. So too, perhaps, are the salt-spillers of the world. Clearly then, there can be only one solution for the Trekkie who feels the need to toss a pinch of salt over their left shoulder after knocking over the shaker. Westland Giftware Star Trek Command Insignia Salt and Pepper Shakers to the rescue!

Standing at the ready on the table top, the pair are held in place with a small magnet. As for the conundrum of how salt spilled on the floor is different than salt tossed on to the floor, well, let’s just say they are and leave it at that. Kind of like how Trekkies had to learn to accept the reboot.

No More Spilled Salt

OXO Good Grips Salt and Pepper Shaker Set

Sometimes good things come in small packages. The same could be said about good ideas. Often overlooked, salt and pepper are two kitchen essentials that pack a punch despite their size. The spices are so ubiquitous that hardly a second thought is given to their delivery conveyance. Salt and pepper deserve more.

The OXO Good Grips Salt and Pepper Shaker Set takes the everyday table item and adds a simple twist: A spout. The simple idea makes it easy to pour a teaspoon of salt without unscrewing the cap and spilling it all over the place. Now if they only add a grinder (at least to the pepper shaker), then the everyday spices can go back to being taken for granted.

Cute Kissing Spice Owls

Cute Kissing Owls -- Westland Giftware Life's Little Journey Life is a Dance Owls 2-3/4-Inch Magnetic Salt and Pepper Shakers

The name could use a little work (Westland Giftware Life’s Little Journey Life is a Dance Owls 2-3/4-Inch Magnetic Salt and Pepper Shakers), but the results are nice. These–we’ll call them cute kissing owls–are designed by Lori Siebert and are salt and pepper shakers that sit together in a fun pose. Looks like they are not quite available as of yet, but that might only because of the ‘new’ tag they have up on Amazon. When will they become available? Only the wise would know.
