An ingenious creation by award-winning designer Karim Rashid, the two hourglass-shaped Hug shakers actually fit together in a sweet embrace. This allows you to carry the pair to the table as a single unit, and when someone says, "Please pass the salt and pepper," you can easily grasp the Nambe metal duo at its waist. Of course, the two pieces function singly, with a differing number of holes on top and black and white plastic plugs underneath for identification.
