Glitter that keeps moving on its own gives this lighted tree a life that a still decoration never has: a warm glow rises through the clear, tiered branches while silver sparkle drifts inside. It turns a console, a windowsill or a nightstand into the brightest corner of the house from Thanksgiving to New Year's.

It suits a college student whose dorm does not allow candles, or a hostess whose table deserves a centerpiece that glows. The tree is from RAZ Imports, tall enough for a mantel yet small enough to move from room to room as the season goes.
