# Meat-Inspired Accessories 'Choice Cut' Shakers Add Some Flavor to Your Kitchen By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-06-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/choice-cut-shakers References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/61340470/bbq-fun-salt-and-pepper-shakers?ref=fp_treasury_9) & [brooklynrehab.blogspot](http://www.brooklynrehab.blogspot.com) The 'Choice Cut' Shakers -- currently available through the [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) page for the small sum of $22 -- use animals as their insignia. The large white shakers with black animals are the perfect addition to any kitchen looking to get hip in a hurry. The [salt shaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-gift-pack) has the image of a pig printed on it and the [pepper shaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zjddg) has the image of a cow. The 'Choice Cut' Shakers are two pieces that are clean and visually compelling. The shakers look particularly sexy when paired with the stump of a tree; the contrast between rustic and urban is fantastic. With the 'Choice Cut' Shakers you will always know where your shakers are because they are oversized. I don't know about you, but animal iconography makes me hungry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rustic-inspired Kitchen Decor:** Opportunity for businesses to create unique and visually compelling kitchen accessories that blend rustic and urban aesthetics. - **Animal-inspired Home Goods:** Potential for companies to capitalize on the popularity of animal iconography by incorporating them into various household items. - **Oversized Salt and Pepper Shakers:** Emerging trend of creating larger-than-average shakers, providing an opportunity for companies to offer practical yet bold kitchen accessories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchenware Industry:** Chance for companies within the kitchenware industry to innovate by offering distinctive and trendy decor items for modern kitchens. - **Home Decor Industry:** Opportunity for businesses in the home decor industry to incorporate animal motifs and rustic aesthetics into their product offerings. - **Gourmet Food Industry:** Potential for gourmet food companies to collaborate with designers and create limited edition packaging or gift sets that feature animal-themed shakers as a unique selling point. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual Spice Shaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stui.md) - [Tabletop Seed Shakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/munchy-seeds-need-seeds.md) - [Savory Flavored Finishing Salts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angus-oink-salts.md) - [Cocktail-Friendly Salts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-and-cocktail-salts.md) - [Premium Peppercorn Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-peppercorn.md) - [Canadian Animal-Themed Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/our-animals-maple-syrup-jar.md) - [Extra-Spicy Hot Pepper Grinders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extreme-hot-pepper-grinder-set.md) - [Refined Ritual Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gejst.md) - [Pizza Seasoning Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-seasoning-duet-box-set.md)
