Pootles I've asked for this one for my birthday. Ceramic, wooden handle, pouring lip, holds just under 500ml.
And it's soooooooooooo pretty 
And just for you curry - m&p does all three of those jobs rather than having various different appliances:
pepper - have gone through three bastarding mills. Don't know what we do to them, they just break and break, and the last one was supposedly the rolls royce of mills. CBA to waste any more money when the m&p does it right every time.
ginger, garlic, herbs - knife and chopping board 90% of the time. But I can't actually grind things into a properly smooth paste using my knife - maybe there's something I'm doing wrong technique-wise, but for pesto or ginger/garlic paste for curries the m&p is invaluable.
spices - never got a spice mill because I already had a m&p, and I try very hard to avoid electrical things as we break them regularly. Also I like to control the texture of the spices - sometimes a bit coarser (eg. on top of roasted veg), sometimes finer (eg. whole spices for a curry).
