Hand me the pepper… That’ll be the running dinner table joke, with Handy Salt and Pepper Mills.
The beechwood grinders include posable wooden artist’s hands on top, so you can use it to get a grip on your salt and pepper. Or, you can position one if the fingers to let the host know what you thought of the meal.
Qualy Design has come up with an ingenious way to contain and display your spices — by designing spice jars to look and function like snow globes. One object is placed in the center of the globe, needing only a spice added to help complete the scene.
Beside the obvious salt as snow, dried chili flakes gives us a taste of Fall under a bare tree, while ground coriander could create a small patch of desert for a camel. Available as a set of Four Seasons or Animal Parade.

Why wait to get to the bottom of the tequila bottle to enjoy some worm? With Worm Salt, you can have that wormy goodness whenever you’d like.
Inspired by a Mexican condiment known as Sal de Gusano — worms are dried and ground with rock salt and chilies. Besides being a great accompaniment for cheap tequila, it will help add a smoky flavor to your sauces and salsas. And, the salt should be a great conversation starter at your next fiesta.

Seasoning of the witch… Salt Made From Human Tears
If your artisanal Hawaiian pink salt just isn’t eccentric enough, there’s now Salt Made From Tears. Brought to us by Hoxton Street Monster Supplies in London, the flavored salts are derived from various tear-inducing emotions and events, such as sneezing and chopping onions — or, so they say.
And as an added bonus, their resident coven of witches will add a curse to your salt. I went with Tears of Sorrow, cursed with “General Torment” — just to help make my next meat loaf extra depressing.
