Well, my Tolkien Santa did it. He found me a piece of LOTR merchandise that I've never seen before, which I totally wasn't expecting to happen.

What we have here is a pair of porcelain salt and pepper shakers of Gandalf and Saruman. This might be the weirdest piece of movie memorabilia I now own, and I will use them faithfully (and have little action figure battles while I'm cooking). THANK YOU SANTA!
