An herb stripper.
The hole at the top is slightly larger, but are you looking for this?
I'm happy to provide the links, please see below. I have been casually browsing for the perfect spice jar for a along time and I'm very satisfied with these. They are glass instead of plastic, have shaker tops which are easily removable, have a wide mouth to fit a measuring spoon into, have an airtight gasket, and most importantly they are the perfect size for the space.
​
Since I had to buy a total of 49 4oz square glass spice jars complete with labels and shaker tops, I bought 3 orders of 12qty and 1 order of 14 qty which are 99.9% identical.
The links are below.

Could it be a tool to strip leaves (like herbs and such) from their stems?
Edit: Here is a very similar Herb Stripper...

I'd recommend getting whole nutmeg. It keeps a lot longer than the ground stuff. Same for cinnamon. Then you can get them a Microplane and they will be all set.
The old standby herbs would be things like parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc. Dried spices would be garlic and onion (powder, granulated, or minced, I don't like the salts), paprika.
While those would all be useful, they would probably get used up pretty quickly and people tend to have those already. If you know of a certain type of cooking they like to do, pick some spices that go with that. Some suggestions that are good but not too out of the ordinary are cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, etc.
Like this nutmeg grater? Some box graters will have a similar pattern, as will some Parmesan graters (the kind with a drawer), but I think a lot of manufacturers have moved on to the one-way Microplane style.
I use an herb stripper. It sounded silly when someone gifted it to me, but I use it frequently.
this works too

Sadly they are cheap copies of Kannastor's model. Exactly same dimensions

I've had mine for over 3 years and still going strong 💪🏻
It seems like a lot of extra work when you can get a dedicated spice grinder for $16 or an electric one for $19

I like this grinder. It has a little pocket in the top to hold you nutmeg and is smaller.
It is a savory spice, I like it with mashed potatoes and with savory custards. The Flavor Bible highlights apples, braised beef, chicken, chowders, chocolate, dried fruit, pumpkin, souffles, and lamb, amongst many others.
It mixes well with cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cardamom, ginger, and mace, which is the dried skin of the nutmeg.
I just bought this manual one. It's very fast, even grind, and has a sealed storage cup you grind into.
Did 6 Tbs of fresh ground BP for a brisket this weekend, and it was all nice and even. No huge chunks. Easy action.
