If you want to solve this get an old sonicare toothbrush or electric reciprocating razor. High frequency vibrations will actually allow the powder to settle quite a bit.
Fancy folk can also use something like this for doing lots... vibrating table
To make sure you don’t have powder spill out you can either use a projectile (depending on neck tension) or wooden dowel as a “plug” for the case.
As long as they're not hardened up, you should be able to shake them. Another thread recommended using a case tumbler or vortex mixer to save the arm.
There are actually quite a few lower priced ones on Amazon. There are even comments about people using them for yeast starters.

I think you would also need something like this to be safe, but I am clearly no expert.

I had a lab-mate who used to go on about how a caffeine addiction was 'the only good addiction'. This would usually happen at about 11:30, he was 4 energy drinks down and twitching as if he'd just sat on an oversized vortex shaker.
I love it when people provide the counter-argument to their own arguments.
