From glass bottles that hold your water to gourmet chocolates that tease your palate, we have gathered some of the best holiday gifts for your gifting pleasure. Give someone a silhouette to dangle on the tree, an ancient tray of cellulose, a bottle of homemade vodka, a pair of antlers (calm down, they’re resin), talons to open their spirits, or a bottle of water (well, a glass bottle to hold tap water).

There is something utterly beautiful about a mixture of metallic glamour and death. As the end of October nears, I find myself craving something dark that can linger all year long. Jayson Home & Garden offers the Claw Bottle Opener ($24), a brass wonder for accessing bottles of pumpkin ale. A Porcelain Beaver Skull ($110) like this charming one from Beetle & Flor is the perfect coffee table embellishment, a ghoulish paperweight, or a flawless bookend.

And just in case you need a dark and brooding jaw bone dangling over your collarbones, this porcelain skunk Jaw Pendant ($65) will make you weak in the knees.
