If your holiday decorations tend toward the ephemeral, the handmade dragonflies, bumblebees and butterflies from California artisan Laura Alders need to be on your tree in December.

The winged creatures, a Texas exclusive to Cebolla Fine Flowers, are lifelike replications of nature, but their wings are dusted with sparklies in the spirit of the season. Intended as ornamentation for gift-wrapped packages, the insects would look smashing perched on the tips of Christmas tree branches, looped around napkins at place settings, spiked at the base of a potted orchid and wrapped around a ponytail.

$10-$15 at Cebolla Fine Flowers, 4320 Lovers Lane.
