No Spice More Superior: Pepper

If you mean literally a shaker, I'd highly recommend getting a grinder even if it's one of those disposable ones built into the bottle. One of my pet peeves (#FirstWorldProblems I know) is restaurants, especially those at the mid- to high-end, with pepper shakers.

I've been refilling the same McCormick grinder for a decade now. There is no comparison between freshly ground and pre-ground pepper, even if the peppercorns have been sitting around a while.

You should try upgrading to a proper mill. Those McCormick grinders just kind of crush the corns into little pieces, a real grinder can produce a powerfully pungent powder that will really knock your socks off.

A pepper mill is one of those things that you should upgrade first in your kitchen, right up there with your chef's knife.
