These cute little S & P shakers are a must have! Whether you are having a crowd or not its nice to have a little set for each guest. The pepper shakers can't take a coarse grind so I offer my guests the pepper mill if that's what they prefer. If you are having company for a small amount of money they are a great addition. I have given them as gifts, too and are well appreciated.(show up at your Thanksgiving house as a guest with them all filled.. you will be a hit!)
