What is it about Penguins? Is it their wobble? Their tuxedo-like look? The way they cradle their young?
Whatever it is, we love penguins. Documentaries and cartoons have both been wildly successful.
These birds are a favorite and make cute accessories for many items around the house. Salt and pepper shakers are one of the best, though!
Boston Warehouse Penguin Party Salt and Pepper Set
These sitting penguins may be dating or married, but they go great together! One has a red bow and gloves; the other a green scarf and gloves. The bright color definitely make them memorable.
At 4 1/2″, these are nice and tall for salt and pepper shakers. They measure 3 inches wide. They’re fashioned of earthenware.
A number of buyers say that they can be a little tough to load, especially the peppercorn.
Besides the penguins, a number of other designs are available. You can check them out at the link.
Penguin and Igloo Magnetic Salt and Pepper Shaker Set
While penguin couples are great, this salt and pepper shaker set goes a different route. This insanely cute penguin can sit atop the igloo for added effect!

Like the ones right above, they also stay together magnetically and are made of ceramic. At 3 1/2″ high, they’re a little small and are slightly fragile but overall cute and not too hard to fill.
Kissing Penguins Salt & Pepper Shaker Set
These two are even closer to kissing than the last! With their red hats and red scarves – one with white polka dots and the other with green stripes – they’re very attracted to each other.
You may want to bring these out just at Christmas; on the other hand, how else would penguins dress in the frigid temperatures?
