Dot and Bo's Watchful Salt and Pepper Pair are sure to add a little humor and fright to your table this Halloween. This set of seasoning containers may be minimal in design but each makes a major statement.

The Watchful Salt and Pepper Pair comes in a set of two. Each shaker is made of white ceramic and measures just a few inches in diameter. The measurements and material make these [salt and pepper shakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kikkoman-x-hello-kitty) seem like an ordinary pair of kitchen utensils, however, each shaker is riddled with multi-sized googly eyes scattered all over its surface.

Offering [humor, whimsy and a little spookiness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-candy-cam), the Watchful Salt and Pepper Pair are salt shakers that [kids and adults](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gustus-vitae-kids-menu) will enjoy.
