Watch as your housemates and relatives try their hardest to resist making spaceship sounds when someone asks them to pass the salt (or pepper).

The starship and the shuttle also have magnet inserts, so you can dock them together when they’re not in use. Although if you have Trekkies or kids in your house I doubt that they’ll ever be unused.

Prepare $13 (USD) and warp to ThinkGeek to order the Star Trek Enterprise and Shuttle salt and pepper shakers. Tiny crew not included.

The Salty Pixels salt and pepper shaker is shaped like the classic hourglass cursor. Why? Because the new blue spiral thingy in Vista and 7 doesn’t look like a shaker.

Keep an eye on Meninos’ website to see if the Salty Pixels shaker is on sale yet. I think they should also make a slightly different pepper shaker version, otherwise dinner time will repeatedly hang as you process which shaker has what inside of it.
