Salt and Pepper Egg Shakers, $25 from Rou Designs

The following months will be full of dinners with family and friends, and while the food may be the focus, don't forget about setting the table! Salt and pepper—everyone's favorite seasoning pair—deserves a spot on the table, which is why we like these classic understated salt and pepper sets. They all have a neutral color palette, so they'll go with most table decor, but each set retains an interesting detail—a geometric shape, for example, or marbled detailing. Classic and functional, but never boring.
