Help your loved one literally get in on the act this season with Yoostar, a system that offers everyone a starring role in classic movie and television scenes.

Posh presentsFor the hostess who literally has the mostest, only the best will do. Impress her with Piper-Heidsieck and Christian Louboutin’s crystal-adorned stiletto flute, Le Rituel. With the success of her new, appropriately named single, “Louboutins,” Jennifer Lopez celebrates her own Cinderella story by sipping bubbly from this luxurious glass slipper ($500; le-rituel.com).
