Carnations in costume

This Halloween fresh-cut classic is part of the truly original a-DOG-able collection of arrangements from 1-800-FLOWERS.com. Created from white carnations and Fall leaves, it's nestled in a mini dog basket, with the canine coming complete with witch's broom and hat. This bewitching pooch will put a spell on Halloween parties and October birthdays.

WHERE TO BUY: $49.99 at 1-800-FLOWERS.com

Bubbly imbibe

People often say the best things come in pairs. Absolut Vodka has applied this idea to a new bubbly blend unveiled this month. The latest innovation is called Absolut Tune, described as a dynamic fusion of sparkling white wine and premium vodka. Once you pop the cork, a veritable taste awakening fills your champagne flute with two flavors working together in perfect harmony.

WHERE TO BUY: $31.99 in stores or absolut.com
