If you don't want to deal with putting up a large Christmas tree, or if your kids live in apartments, dorms or other places that are short on space, the Gumdrop Tree at Barney's is a cute way to introduce the holiday spirit without introducing the need for cleaning up pine needles. It stands 16.5 inches high and is decked out with multi-colored spiced gumdrops, all sparkling with a sugary coating. It is inadvisable to try and string lights on this tree, but it does have the advantage of being edible, ensuring that the season will be a sweet one. Price: $88.

Looking for the ultimate chocolate experience? Try the Bespoke Chocolate Service from Cocoa Locoa. The service starts with a personalized consultation that is designed to determine your exact taste and style preferences, both of which will be taken into account when the company's chocolate artisan makes a collection of chocolates custom-suited to your palate. The price for a package of four chocolates is $250, or $450 for a package of eight unique formulations. Be sure to take a look at the standard flavors that they offer, which include salted honey caramel, creme brulee, blood orange + grapefruit and Mayan spice, since if they already match your flavor preferences, you could save quite a bit by ordering the $18, 9-piece classic collection.

One reason to drop in to Godiva this month is to try their Pumpkin Patch Truffles. Instead of just wrapping up chocolates in orange and black wrappers in a weak attempt at seasonality, the chocolatier goes all-out by creating a uniquely fall-flavored confection. The truffles have a pumpkin-spiced ganache center and are coated in a velvety milk chocolate. As a final touch, the truffles are lightly dusted with cinnamon before being wrapped up link miniature pumpkins - complete with tiny leaves. It's $12.50 for a 3.25-ounce package with five truffles.

As far as sugar goes, these French Sugar Hearts are as elegant as you can get. Each heart has a notch in it so that it can sit easily over the edge of a tea or coffee cup, adding a bit of whimsy to the presentation in a way that a regular sugar cube, a certainly a bowl of loose sugar, could not. The cane sugar hearts come in white, amber and ebony, with the darker colors adding a hint of flavor that is more akin to brown sugar or raw sugar than white. Each box is imported and includes 64 hearts. Price: $25.

Pez dispensers are highly collectible, but the little plastic toys only cost a few cents to begin with and don't fetch the same kinds of prices that other collectibles do. With the exception of this pez dispenser, of course. This was a prototype of a design intended for the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, but it never went into production, making this the only dispenser of its kind. The dispenser is up for auction on eBay and, as of this post, the price is at $32,200, with two more days of bidding left. What you would do with a Pez dispenser that cost that much is anyone's guess, though it's not likely to be used to actually dispense too much candy at that price.

The handbag itself isn't edible in this Handbag of the Day selection, the final choice in our week of edible bags in honor of Mother's Day, but it certainly contains more than a few tasty treats.

Each silky smooth and deliciously sweet caramel is individually wrapped to avoid any potentially sticky situations and ensure that they are in perfect condition when the box is finally opened.
