A spice container and holder assembly comprising:

• at least one holder means for holding at least one spice container, said at least one spice container having an open top portion;
• a closure means (2, 24) for each of said at least one spice container, said at least one spice container being held by a magnetic force of a magnet means to said closure means (2, 24);
• each of said closure means including sealing means for sealing said open top portion of said at least one spice container, said sealing means including:
• said magnet means, positioned between said at least one spice container and that one of said closure means mounted on said at least one container;
• and
• magnetic means positioned adjacent to, but spaced apart from said magnet means, said magnetic means comprising one of a shaker cap (4) and a shaker cap mounting means that are respectively formed of a ferromagnetic material, said one of said shaker cap (4) and said shaker cap mounting means cooperating with said magnet means when said magnet means and said magnetic means are magnetically attracted to each other to eliminate the spaced apart positioning of the magnet means and the magnetic means to thereby form a seal therebetween for sealing said open top portion of said spice container;
• whereby said sealing means maintains said seal even when said at least one container is not held by said holder means.
