Confession: I’ve been counting down the days till Halloween since September 1. Now that October’s here, I’m fully embracing the season by making delicious Halloween treats (including these adorable ghost cookies) and breaking out my favorite Halloween kitchen decor. I thought I had everything I needed … until I saw these skeleton champagne flutes from Dollar Tree. Now, they’re at the top of my wish list!

I was obsessed with these gems the second they showed up in this TikTok — they’re classic champagne flutes with a seriously spooky twist: skeleton hands for stems (*cue sinister laughter*). The hands come in three colors — purple, solid gray, and a luminous shade of black, which looks more like an iridescent rainbow, making them must-have additions to any Halloween kitchen display.

I’m not the only one who adores these flutes, either. People on social media are buzzing about these treasures, with several creators posting enthusiastic videos celebrating as soon as they find them. I mean, can you blame them? They’re flying off the shelves at just $1.25 per flute, so it’s a little Halloween miracle when they’re actually in-stock.

You can use these flutes for more than a chilling splash of bubbly or your favorite ghoulish cocktail, though. Place fake eyeballs in them to create frightening centerpieces, or make some treat-worthy centerpieces or fun party favors by filling them with Halloween candy. If you’re looking for a more gothic look, fill them with a mix of dried flowers and branches and pop them on side tables throughout your home. You could also use them to store rings, flossers, toothpicks, or other small trinkets through spooky season if that’s your style.

Want to up the eerie ante? Place battery-operated tea light candles in them to create a creepy-meets-cozy vibe. Plenty of crafters remove the flutes entirely to create their own DIY candlesticks, and the results are so impressive — you can pull off a similar look without removing the flutes by simply putting a faux taper candle in each glass (and make sure to exercise caution if using real candles).
