Festive Seasoning Trinkets

The Kissing Elves Salt & Pepper Shakers Are Too Cute to Resist

— November 19, 2012 — Art & Design
You can't have Christmas without Santa's little helpers and these Kissing Elves salt and pepper shakers will definitely pull at your heart strings.

Made out of glazed ceramic, the two little canisters are decorated to look like cute elves who are desperately affectionate. You can't break these two love birds apart that easily, a magnet by their mouths holds them in a tight lip-locking embrace. Spices come out of the holes indented in their pointy holiday caps.

The Kissing Elves salt and pepper shakers are about ten centimeters in height. There is no need to blush when you gaze upon these cheeky elves, though they might get a little testy when you decide to separate them to enhance the flavors of your meal.
