Make no bones about these shakers

Dem bones. Dem bones. Hand bone connected to the arm bone. Arm bone connected to the salt!? Well, in this case, yes.

Don't worry dese bones are not hollowed bones that have been harvested from the morgue and fitted with corks. They're porcelain shakers created by Chris Stiles, a Los Angeles artist who calls the set Dry Bones, after the famous spiritual.

At $24 a set, they are a tad pricy, but not nearly as much as Vera Wang's sleek pair, which sells for over $50. They're perfect for the Deadhead chef on your holiday shopping list. Or perhaps, the dog lover, then again maybe not. Fido might run off with one and try to bury it. Of course, if he's one of those dogs who like people food, you just might find him sitting down to a feast and using the salt and pepper to fine-tune the flavor of his table scraps.

It's time for Holiday shopping, and with the intention of avoiding crowds, traffic, over-spending, and the stress of trying to decide what to buy, I just might give a set of salt and pepper shakers to every person I know. It might sound silly, but everyone can use a little spice in their lives, and salt and pepper shakers are things that you can definitely find for every personality type.

For the classy, sophisticated newlywed couple, the Vera Wang Grosgrain Salt and Pepper Shakers are perfect. Vera Wang's designs are known for their classic elegance, and these sleek, tall-standing shakers with a simple raised dot-pattern is no different. Heck, most people know the designer for her wedding gowns, so these are perfect for the couple who's still trying to pay off their wedding bills.

The Vera Wang Grosgrain Salt and Pepper Shakers are available from Bloomingdale's for $55.

Fashion Week cookies

Fashion Week, the spectacle that descends upon New York City's Bryant Park, is winding down. I don't follow couture, but I'm aware that the show is as well-known for previewing bleeding-edge styles as it is for creative cross-promotions.

One of this year's marketing efforts surely takes the cake, or perhaps I should say cookie. Sugary, calorie-laden treats have never been big among the fashion set. That is unless they're adorned with images of models and designers.

Eleni's Bakery created the cookies, which feature such luminaries as Vera Wang (pictured), Diane Von Furstenberg and Anna Sui. The fashionable treats go for $6 a pop, but Delta Airlines is giving them away at the show. Oh by the way, if seeing The Devil Wears Prada didn't quench any hatred for Anna Wintour, now you can literally bite her head off.
