Lego salt and pepper shakers

Lego salt and pepper shakers make any meal fun.

Geek, eaters, and children alike, rejoice! Thanks to Lego, you can now say "Lego (let go) my ______" and not refer to Kellogg's Eggo Waffles (or the Lego-shaped variety).

Lego's online store has several household items available. My favorites are the Lego head shakers and the Lego ice tray. Now I just need to build a dining table out of Lego pieces and I'd be set for dinner.

Sadly, the Lego head shakers are not available online in the U.S., but the 1x1 pixel block shakers are available.

Here's a few of my favorite Lego household items:

Lego egg timer
