Music fans may know Target best for the retailer’s selection of exclusive vinyl, but the site is also quickly becoming a home for some unique music merch. Case in point: these Grateful Dead salt and pepper shakers, which are on sale now for just $23.

An officially-licensed product, the shaker set is a fun and foodie take on the Dead’s iconic dancing bears, bringing a touch of nostalgia to the dinner table.

Hand-sculpted from sturdy ceramic, the set includes a blue bear for salt and a yellow bear for pepper. Each shaker stands approximately three inches tall, and is hand-painted in shades taken from Grateful Dead motifs and palettes.

The salt and pepper set comes in a custom Grateful Dead box that’s adorned with the band’s dancing skeletons and the iconic Steal Your Face logo. In other words, it’s perfect for gifting to both Deadheads and head chefs alike (sold out on Target? You can also find the shakers on Amazon).

The Grateful Dead salt and pepper shaker set is one of the latest releases from Six Times Seven, a merch and collectibles company that also offers apparel and accessories from entertainment franchises like Marvel, Disney, Star Wars and Nintendo. See their full collection here.
