I had bought these as a gift and am rather disappointed. There is a link to an external site that amazon has on this page for seemingly the same product with the same pictures and all, but that one shows these as being made of ceramic. Be advised that these are cheap plastic shakers with very noticeable plastic seams on them. The holes of the pepper shaker do not look big enough for "normal" pepper and the salt ones look to big for salt so you'd get too much. They are really light weight and I'm afraid that if my sister uses them too rough or clanks them on the counter they'll break. Also doesn't help that now the listed price is less than half what I paid a week ago ($11).

My suggestion is if you're going to buy these and they are listed at more than $5 don't bother. The shipping estimate is 2 pounds and these things according to the packing label are only 5oz. It's very misleading. I paid $5 in shipping for it to come in a plastic baggie with the cardboard box... Read more

I have been looking for some unique salt and pepper shakers for awhile. These fit the bill perfectly! They are just the right size, about 3 inches high. Not only are they absolutely adorable, it's totally easy to see which is salt and which is pepper. They are cute without being over the top cutesy. I am extremely happy with them!

I agree with the last reviewer - I got a bunch of them in Thailand in several colors for gifts for everyone and they were less than a dollar. Try eBay or somewhere else before overpaying!! Also, the salt holes are big so be careful how much salt is coming out.
