His & Hers Metal Beach Crab Salt & Pepper Shakers*
The His & Hers Metal Beach Crab Salt & Pepper Shakers add a dash of spice to a party, an event or a wedding reception. One is his, one is hers, and the pair sits together the way the couple does. Each crab measures 2.25"W x 3"L, small enough to tuck beside a place card and solid enough that nobody knocks it over reaching for the bread.
They are made of metal, classic yet fun in design and incredibly durable, which is what makes them work outdoors as well as in. A paper favor curls in the sea air and a glass one worries the caterer. These do neither. They hold their shape through a windy seaside ceremony, a long patio dinner, a boat club luncheon or a backyard clambake, and they look the same the next morning as they did when the table was set.
As part of your place settings they do two jobs at once: they decorate the table and they earn their keep, which is more than most favors manage. As gifts they go straight to the person you already think of when you think of the ocean, the one with the shell jar on the windowsill and the tide chart on the refrigerator. Whether they are going home with guests, going under a tree at Christmas, or simply staying on your own table, these crab shakers are a whimsical yet classic way to show how much you care about your guests or a loved one.
They suit a beach themed wedding, a rehearsal dinner at a seafood restaurant, a housewarming for a coastal cottage, a retirement spent near the water, and any lovely outdoor event where the table needs a little personality. Set out in pairs down a long reception table, the metal catches the light and the whole run reads as one idea rather than a scatter of favors.
Choose your quantity above, whether that is a single set for a gift or one pair for every place setting, and let the crabs take the table from there.

Which one should I choose
At a beach table you are really choosing between something that decorates for one evening and something the guest takes home and keeps using.
| His & Hers Metal Beach Crab Salt & Pepper Shakers | Choose them when you want a durable metal pair that decorates the place setting and then lives on somebody's kitchen table. |
|---|---|
| A personalized beach favor with your names on it | Choose that when the favor has to carry the couple's names or the date; this crab set has no personalization field. |
| A printed paper beach favor or place card | Choose it when the budget item only needs to look right for one evening; paper curls in sea air and is thrown away that night. |
If the table is outdoors and you want the favor to survive the day and the trip home, the metal crab pair is the practical choice; if names and a date must appear, pick a personalized favor instead.

International shipping is by request. The cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote.

Yes. The metal is described as incredibly durable and the design is meant to complete a beach themed wedding, party or outdoor event, so the pair holds up better on a breezy table than paper or glass.
