    Spiked Punch
    Sugarplums don't normally find themselves among spikes unless they're in a Tim Burton wonderland. But ASOS's circular headband balances naughty and nice. (And can be used to lovingly nudge boring conversationalists in an attempt to make them livelier.)

    Better than Poinsettia
    What's black and white and red all over? The dress of every single holiday party attendee. Brighten up the festivities with a cheerful pink, blue, or yellow floral chiffon band.
