A shaker assembly has a body with viewing panels on opposite sides. An agitator is viewable through the viewing panels. Agitators have printable panels or molded figurines which may be in shapes of corporate logos or names. Conically tapered springs have inner smaller ring-shaped ends connected an agitator and outer larger ring-shaped ends positioned away from the agitator. The printed panels or molded figurines are visible through the viewing panels when the shaker assembly is in motion or at rest. The lid has a smooth outer surface. A hinged cover rotates outward from the smooth outer surface to open a pouring spout in the lid. A carabiner clip rotates outward from the smooth outer surfaces of the lid and hinged cover. When closed and stored, the cover and the carabiner clip complete the smooth outer surfaces of the lid.

1. Apparatus comprising, a shaker assembly having,a shaker body adapted to hold liquid material,a lid connectable to the body,a generally planar agitator mounted within the shaker body, the plane of the agitator being generally parallel to sides of the shaker body, wherein the agitator has printable panels, figurines or names and has mixing edges on the agitator, wherein the mixing edges are adapted for shearing, blending and mixing any material held within the body as the body with the lid attached are shaken to reciprocate the agitator to shear and blend, mix or homogenize the liquid material within the body,two separated conical springs having large ends and small ends, the small ends of the springs connected to the agitator and the springs extending in opposite directions from the agitator and being adapted to bounce and accelerate the agitator through the body when the lid is secured to the body and the body is shaken, conical coils of the springs also adapted to shear, blend and mix or homogenize the liquid material within the body with the conically disposed coils moving through different areas of the liquid material. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the agitator has a rim and the rim has opposite extension and grooves in the extensions, wherein the springs are truncated conical springs and have smaller diameter ring-shaped ends connected to the grooves in the opposite extensions of the agitator and larger diameter ends positioned outward from the agitator, thereby supporting the springs and the agitator on one of the larger diameter ends of the springs in contact with a bottom of the body when the body is at rest. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a distance between the larger diameter ends of the spring is greater than a cross-sectional dimension of the body, ensuring that the springs and agitator remain upright in the body. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body has a circular base and wherein the conical springs have flat ring-shaped large ends that are smaller in diameter than the base of the body and at least one of the flat ring-shaped large ends is adapted to contact liquid material near edges of the circular base of the body as the springs and agitator reciprocate, wherein the body has one or more transparent viewing panels for viewing the agitator within the body. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the agitator is visible through the one or more transparent viewing panels. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the agitator is a figurine having the shape of a corporate logo with the mixing edges being edges of a molded figurine in the shape of the corporate logo. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the figurine of the agitator is molded in a form of a name. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the agitator is a figurine in the shape of a cartoon character or face. 9. Apparatus comprising, a shaker assembly having,a shaker body adapted for holding liquid,a lid connectable to the body and adapted to contain the liquid within the body,a generally planar agitator mounted within the shaker body, the plane of the agitator being generally parallel to sides of the body, wherein the agitator has a flat panel, mixing edges on the agitator, the mixing edges being adapted for shearing, blending and mixing liquid material held within the shaker body, wherein the agitator has a rim, and two opposite extensions on the rim and circular grooves around the extensions, and further comprising two separated conical springs having flat ring-like smaller ends of the conical springs, the flat ring-like smaller ends being snapped into and held in the grooves on the extensions as the shaker body with the lid attached is shaken to shear and blend, mix or homogenize any material within the shaker body, the lid having a lid body with a base for connecting to the shaker body, a pouring spout on the lid body, and a cover hingedly connected to the lid body for closing and opening the pouring spout, wherein the cover and the lid body have smooth outer contours forming smooth outer surfaces on a top and sides of the lid. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the lid body has a lid gap with two upstanding portions on opposite sides of the lid gap, wherein inner sides of the upstanding portions have hinge connections, wherein the cover has downward extending sides, and wherein the downward extending sides have complementary hinge connections. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the cover has a cover gap near the complementary hinge connections, further comprising a carabiner connector positioned in the cover gap and hingedly connected in the cover gap, wherein the carabiner connection folds out of the cover gap for use and folds into the cover gap for storage, wherein in storage, the carabiner connection completes the smooth outer contours and the smooth outer surface on the top and sides of the lid. 12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the lid has a lower portion and an upper portion, and wherein the upper portion extends outward beyond the lower portion and an edge of the cover is in the outward extending upper portion for raising the cover. 13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein an edge of the carabiner is in the outward extending upper portion for raising the carabiner clip. 14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the body has one or more transparent viewing panels for viewing the agitator within the body. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the agitator is visible through the one or more transparent viewing panels. 16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the conical springs connected to and extended in opposite directions from the agitator are adapted to bounce and accelerate the agitator through the body when the lid is secured to the body and the body is shaken, and wherein the springs are adapted to also act as mixers, wherein the springs are truncated conical springs and have the smaller diameter ring-like ends connected to the agitator, and wherein larger diameter ends of the springs are positioned outward from the agitator, thereby supporting the springs and the agitator on one of the larger diameter ends of the springs in contact with a bottom of the body when the body is at rest. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein a distance between the larger diameter ends of the springs is greater than a cross-sectional dimension of the body, ensuring that the springs and agitator remain upright in the body. 18. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the agitator is a printed or printable panel. 19. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the agitator is a figurine. 20. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the agitator is in the shape of a name.
