From Christmas Eve straight through the New Year's countdown, this gold spiral tree earns a longer run on the table than most holiday pieces. Golden flecks circle endlessly through the clear, twisting tiers while light blooms from the center.

Stand it among champagne coupes at a New Year's party, beside wrapped presents on a sideboard, or on a dresser where a softer light is welcome. For a host who already owns every candle, it makes a thank-you with a glow of its own. Its timer runs six hours and repeats every 18 hours.
