spooky invites



Send a Halloween hello or a spooky invite to those you love. We love these Halloween cards found at Mango Ink.




Who doesn’t love to receive a personalized hello in the mail? If you are planning a party for the big night be sure to check out the invites we found at Williams-Sonoma. These handcrafted invites are sure to bring a smile to the recipients face when they see the adorable ghost peeking from a trick-or-treat sack.

spooky treat bags




Collect his yummy treats in one of these adorable treat bags found at Pottery Barn Kids. After an adorable costume, a goodie bag is the next essential item for trick-or-treating. Both treat bags are constructed of felt with stitched appliquéd designs to make them spooktacular. Designed to carry lots of yummy treats, they are perfectly sized for toddlers and kids. Personalization is available to create a one-of-a-kind Halloween bag that will be treasured for years.


pumpkin carving
Pumpkin carving is a serious sport in some neighborhoods and for those with no artistic ability we have found just the thing that will allow you to compete with and even wow your neighbors. Dremel’s Pumpkin Carving Kit lets you easily carve intricate patterns using included templates that you trace onto your pumpkin. Your pumpkin will glow with your spooky design and your neighbors will glow with envy.



cool flashlights
Safety is something that is definitely on the minds of parents on Halloween night. With one hand holding yours and the other her treat bag, there are no hands free for a flashlight. The perfect solution is a headlamp! Our favorite headlamps are the Princeton Tec Scout Headlamp found at LL Bean and the Coleman for Kids Waterproof Headlamp.
LL Bean is a trusted name in outdoor gear, and this headlamp will last him a lifetime. The adjustable strap allows a perfect fit and it is ultra-lightweight and compact. Multiple light intensities and strobe setting are capable with this bright LED light. The Coleman headlamp is specially made for kids with adjustable straps and is completely water-tight.

We also wanted to mention this fun spooky flashlight that has built-in sound effects that entertain your child when she opens it's mouth. Available styles include this adorable pumpkin, a spooky black cat and a bat. Your child will love the addition to his costume and you will love the price (only $4.99 each when you buy two).



halloween egg pet plants
We love these adorable little “spooky” pet plants found at Zebra Hall. Nyokki egg plants are a fantastic addition to your Halloween décor. Introduce planting and growing to your little ones and watch their excitement as they care for their own little grass eggs. Nokki’s ‘hair’ grows in just two weeks to the full height...now it’s time to style or cut and watch it grow again. Includes growing peat and rye grass seed and egg planter.
