Salt and pepper

I found this on someone's wedding registry.

It's a $65 salt and pepper shaker set, on sale for $50. I'll hold off on my aesthetic opinion of this product. However, I can't help but note that it seems ridiculous to spend $65 on a salt and pepper shaker. I do have an engineering personality, so that colors my opinions. There is no need for carbon to reduce the weight or add tensile strength, nor is there a need for insulatory material to protect it from harsh weather conditions. All it has to do is hold and distribute pepper and salt. Last time I checked, a store like Target or Linens n' Things had something like this for $10-15. If I were going to ask for a gift at that price range, I'd choose something that was worth that value, such as a melon baller. (Hehe. Just kidding.)
