Ten Spooky Product Finds June 2022

6/29/2022

Another month is coming to an end which means another month closer to Halloween and we're now officially at the beginning of Spooky Season!

TK Maxx and Homesense here in the UK have finally started to stock spooky products and I could not be anymore happier! It is always so exciting to see spooky things appearing in store and the fact that this year appears to be the earliest year so far, is a treat all by itself!

The past month I have discovered so many wonderful products, especially spooky pins and like usual, the majority of the products below are from small businesses too.

Halloween Forever Print

Stores are starting to stock spooky products and for those of us who look forward to this time of year, this print is perfect for you.

This Halloween Forever print from Sandstar Art is available in A5 and can be purchased with a mount for easy framing.

The print is so adorable and features two cute ghosts holding a large love heart. A sweet little bat and Jack o'lantern are above, with autumnal flowers around the heart too.

You can pick up this print and many other spooky products from Sandstar Art right here.

Spooky Ghost Knife Pin

The second ghost product on this months list is this cute ghost pin.

The pin features three little ghosts floating around a knife. The ghosts also glow in the dark when the lights go out, adding another layer of spooky goodness to this pin.

One thing I especially love about this pin, is the fact the ghosts faces have bene screen printed onto the pin. I've never actually come across a screen printed pin in this way, but think it's such a clever way of adding small details.

You can pick up this pin right here.

In Memory Of My Sleep Pin

This months list does contain a handful of pins, as I came across so many awesome designs.

The second pin on todays list is one of a series of spooky pins and the pin that jumped out the most to me is the 'In Loving Memory of Sleep' design. I absolutely love it and also love the other designs available in this series, which includes a ghost, pumpkin and more.

You can pick up this pin right here.

HalloweenTown Pin

Full confession before telling you all about this next pin... I only watched Halloween town for the first time around a year ago... I had never seen HalloweenTown until Disney+ arrived in the UK, but I absolutely loved it and I absolutely love this pin too.

The pin recreates the Halloweentown book and features so much tiny detail. It's perfect for fans of the films and would make a great gift too.

You can grab this pin right here.

Trick 'r Treat Pop

Trick 'r Treat is one of my all time favourite films and I can watch it every single day of the year and never got bored of it.

When Funko revealed two new TrT Pops this year, I was pleased to see more Pops being added to the current range but at the same time disappointed that both releases were of Sam.

However this week it appears there are even more Pops on the way, with the reveal of Chuckles! Chuckles is one of the kids from the School Bus Massacre and they come with a cute Jack o'Lantern bucket too.

Very little detail is known about this Pop and unfortunately I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere yet. As this is only one of the school bus children, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we see more characters soon!

Boofy the Bat Pin

If you absolutely love bats, you will LOVE this next pin on this months list.

Boofy is a super cute, purple bat pin would look great on any outfit! The pin measures approximately 25mm and is made from hard enamel. Why not buy two of these pins and place them on the collar of your shirt/jacket?

You can pick up this little cutie right here.

Halloween Jack O Lantern Crossbody Bag

This year will see the end of the Blumhouse Halloween trilogy with Halloween Ends being the final film released in this series of films.

We still have plenty of time before the film comes out, so why not prepare yourself for what is sure to be a great film with this amazing Halloween Jack o'Lantern Crossbody Bag?

The bag features the famous pumpkin from the original film and is lined with a matching Jack o'Lantern and Michael Myers fabric print.

You can pick up this awesome bag right here.

Spooky Ghost Ceramic Collectible

A haunted home is a happy home and this ghost will definitely make your home happy!

This hand sculpted ghost is made from porcelain ceramic and featured a daisy print all over. This little ghoul is also available in three different sizes and you can choose from yellow or pink daisies too.

You really can't get more Summerween than a flower print ghost!

Pick up this little cutie and be sure to check out all of the other ghosts available from this store right here.

Jack O Lantern Backpack

I absolutely love the next addition to this months list. How cool is this Jack O Lantern bag?

The bag has a full Jack o Lantern design on the front, with a pumpkin and bat print on the sides too. Inside contains a pocket to hold a 15 inch laptop, with pockets also on the front. This water resistant bag is the perfect way to show off your spooky side and would look great for your little ghouls school bag too!

The Jack o Lantern design is definitely giving me The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes.

You can pick this bag up right here.

Murderous Ghost Pin

The name of this pin is what first grabbed my attention, as it's such a great name and design for a pin.

The Murderous Ghost pin features a naughty little ghost that has carved out and is now eating a poor Jack o Lantern.

I adore this pin and love how it's also giving of a vintage Halloween style. The pin measures 2 inches too, so it's a good size pin!

You can pick up this pin right here.

Thanks so much for reading this article! I actually share a whole load of Halloween things on my instagram so if you'd also like to follow my daily (almost) updates then head on over to HERE. You can also follow on Facebook now too! .

Ten Spooky Product Finds For March 2022

3/31/2022

0 Comments

Can you believe we're already a quarter of the way through 2022 already? Where is this year going?

As we end March and fall into April, we can look forward to the fact that the end of April marks 6 months until Halloween!

We're so close to the halfway mark now that I can almost smell the scent of pumpkin spice in the air...

Until then though, here's ten of my spooky finds for March 2022. These are ten products I have discovered in the last month that I think you would really enjoy.

Halloween Beach Towels

As much as it pains me to say it... Summer will be here before you know it and that means sunbathing, the beach and lots of Sunshine!

Be the talk of the beach with these spooky cute beach towels from Odd Like Us. They're available in a Jack O Lantern and ghost design or the even cute Jack O Lantern Daisy style.

The design is printed on one side, with the other made from super soft terry fabric, making it also more absorbent.

You can grab your own towels right HERE.

Flying Witch Tealight Holder

Cast a little magic in your home with this Flying Witch Tealight holder.

The holder is made from ceramic and features a flying witch, along with stars and dots all around. As you can see from the picture, when it's lit it casts a magical design all over your walls and surfaces.

You can also grab this in seven different colours. This holder would look amazing in the place of a pumpkin at Halloween (or have both?).

You can grab your own right HERE.

Trick or Treat Black Cat T-Shirt

Show off your love for Halloween all year with this Trick or Treat Black Cat T-shirt from Austin Pardun Art.

If you're a huge Halloween lover, then you should already be well aware of Austin Pardun's work as they are definitely one artist that is keeping the Halloween spirit alive all year.

You can get your hands on this super cute, vintage style t-shirt that features a Black Cat popping out of a Jack O'Lantern, but be warned, this is only available in limited quantities, so grab it before it's gone!

You can get your claws on this tee right HERE.

Gothmas Witch Ornament

Gothmas might be just under 9 months away, but that doesn't mean you can't prepare yourself for making another holiday a little spooky.

This decoration features a witch silhouette on a wooden plaque. A gold star and moon have also been added, with a satin ribbon attached to finish it all off.

I really love this decoration and think it would look great out all year, hang it on your wall or your year round Halloween tree!

You and grab this for your tree right HERE.

Halloween Tea Set

Pumpkin Spice Lattes might not available due to it being Spring but that doesn't mean you can't get your spooky drink fix!

While we all wait for the best drink of the year to return, fill the void with this incredible tea set from Vahdam! The set contains four different flavours of loose leaf tea, with one flavour being Pumpkin Spiced Herbal Tea! You could even make your own iced teas with these, to keep yourself cool when the weather warms up.

All four teas also come packed in a orange Halloween themed gift box and you can also get your hands on a matching mug too. Grab your own tea set right HERE.

Halloween Michael Myers Bobblehead

Halloween Ends is due for release this October and although it might be the last Halloween film (for now) you can still re-live the original with this awesome Bobblehead!

Featuring Michael Myers dressed as a ghost from the original 1978 release. The bobblehead includes Bobs glasses and a phone at the base of the stand.

There's also many more Halloween and general Horror characters available from Royal Bobbles, but this is by far my favourite release so far.

Grab your very own Ghost Michael right HERE.

Creepy Cross-Stitch

So many of us discovered new hobbies during lockdown and it was so great to see so many people getting back into crafting and art in general.

One particular craft that I saw a lot of people take up was cross-stitching and this book is perfect for any spooky ghoul who wants to create awesome cross-stitch designs for your home. There are 25 projects in total for you to complete, with easy to follow instructions too.

If you need an added homemade spooky touch to your haunted home, I definitely recommend this spooky book!

Pick up a copy right HERE.

Bat Bottle Opener

Have you ever wished your bottle opener was a little more... spooky? Well wish no more, as you can now get your hands on this awesome Bat shaped bottle opener.

It's made by Ototo who are famous for their original and unique homeware products and this bottle opener is no exception. The head of the opener has cute ears and when you attach the cork screw to your bottle and pull up the handles, you'll also be greeted by bat wings too!

I absolutely love this and know a friend who would absolutely love this too, so it's definitely going into my basket.

Grab your own bottle opener right HERE.

Crystal Ghosts

While searching for gifts for a friends upcoming birthday, I came across these cute crystal ghosts. They're available in two different designs and five different stone types too.

The ghost pictured is made from Lava stone, while you can also purchase a ghost in Red Jasper, Tiger's Eye, Rose Quartz and Kambaba Jasper. Each ghost is around 2 inches high and comes in a gift box for safe storage.

The Red Jasper ghost is taller and comes in a more traditional sheet ghost design.

Haunt your home with one of these ghosties right HERE.

Black Cat Mug

I have said it before and I will say it over and over again... you can NEVER have too many Halloween mugs.

Although my cupboards are crying out for no more mugs, this Black Cat mug from Sourpuss might just find it's way to my home very soon. It features their classic black cat design and is perfect for your spooky teas and coffee.

You can also grab this design in matching salt and pepper shakers and candle holders too!

Halloween 2020 at TK Maxx and Homesense!

8/14/2020

1 Comment

Halloween has started to arrive in the UK and I am fully taking it with both arms and giving it the biggest hug ever. This year has not been the best year for anyone and so seeing some level of normality in our spooky little lives is a welcome breath of fresh air.

The first signs of Halloween in Homesense and TK Maxx started around the 24th of July and since then stores have been filling their shelves with spooky product after spooky product.

To begin with my local Homesense store was severely lacking in Halloween products and so I have been fortunate enough to have friends and family who are willing to check stores closer to them to find my Halloween fix and so far I think I have been able to cross everything off my list that I have wanted so far this year. My most recent visit though, I was so surprised to see the shelves full of new arrivals!

The first wave of products to arrive in most stores were Halloween Gnomes, metal decorations and mugs. This has now become full ranges that many of us Halloween folk are going crazy for.

It definitely looks like skulls are a big thing once again this year. Skulls appear to be a staple each year at Homesense and TK Maxx and although I am not a huge fans of skull products, some of this years releases are fun to look at. There are a lot of Ghosts and Pumpkins this year too. I do love a good ghost so I am loving so many of the ghosties and have swiped up quite a few of them already. Primitive style pumpkins are also adorning the shelves this year and I have big plans with them for this years Halloween home display.

Snow globes, light up decorations, hanging signs, candle holders (and candles), plush toys and much, much more are all quickly trickling into stores. There are quite a few returning items including the witch hats with 3 stacked pumpkins on the side, witch boot candle holders and more. Some have returned in the same style as previous years and others have had a complete makeover.

Although there has only been 3 kitchen products that I have grabbed so far, it does appear that they have invested a lot more into homewares too. Chopping Boards, Mugs, Spatulas, Cookie Cutters, Jar, Salt and Pepper Pots are more are all available. The three products I grabbed myself are a white pumpkin ceramic jar, ghost salt and pepper pots and a small pumpkin jar. If we're graced with Rae Dunn Halloween goodies (like in previous years) then I will be sure to on the hunt for those too, but so far there hasn't been any sightings.

The pumpkin with three ghosts (above) was one of my must have finds for this year and after a very hot journey to a store a little outside of my local area, I managed to find them. I was also fortunate to get my hands on one of this years BIG wants on many peoples list... the Light Up Haunted House pumpkin. Searching every store I possibly could get to, I was on a mission to find this and it was actually my partner who found it! The Pumpkin is hollowed out with a jagged opening, inside sits a small black tree, gravestone and highly detailed haunted house. If you flip the switch on the base the small LED lights light the whole scene up. This is definitely at the top of my list for favourite new additions.

The flying witch was also a very recent purchase but the moment I saw a picture of her online I knew I had to grab her. She's flying across the sky on her metal broom with black cat familiar in front. I absolutely adore her and have plans to potentially paint her cape from red to orange.... but i'm not 100% sure as she looks great as she is.

Pillows and fleece blankets have made a return this year too. The majority of pillows so far are returning designs from previous years. These pillows include witchy puns or skeletons/coffins. If pillows are not your thing but you're down for wrapping yourself up in a nice fleecy throw blanket then the Halloween Cat or Dog blankets are for you. These blankets have cat or dogs dressed in various Halloween costumes. They're super soft and only £9.99 too! Personally not my thing but if we get ghost blankets any time soon, then count me in!

One of the earliest finds was the below Trick or Treat sign. This little sign was only £3.99 and I knew as soon as I saw it I was going to repaint it a little. I used orange acrylic to highlight the text against the spiderweb a little better and then placed it as a backing piece for my very filled shelves. I also used the same paint to re-paint the little Boo ghostie. Originally he was all grey (almost concrete looking) and so I decided to change his head and add a little colour.

I'm sure it won't be the last thing I tweak a little this year but overall I am really enjoying the releases that Homesense and TK Maxx are constantly adding too. I do have a few more items on my list of things I would love to own so will be hunting those down next.

I recently shared a list of Ten small UK based businesses that celebrate Halloween All Year and while I am working on part 2 of that list (a list of ten really isn't enough!) here's ten international small businesses that also celebrate the spookiest month, 365 days a year.

As Halloween creeps closer and closer we're now reaching that point where some stores might start to stock little glimmers of the spooky season. It was only just over a year ago that we started to see Pumpkin candles and autumnal products appear in stores like Homesense and TK Maxx.
With the states already starting to stock products I thought a list of some of the best UK based small businesses that stock Halloween things all year might be appropriate.

So if you're after a spooky fix any time of the year then be sure to check out these awesome stores and also keep an eye out for another list focusing on international stores too!

Skullduggery Ceramics

Skullduggery Ceramics is one of my favourite spooky stores. Not only does the store have a whole bunch of handmade gothic treats but she makes new products all the time!

You'll be able to find Witch Hat ring holders, Graveyard Business Card Holders, Skeleton Mugs, Jewellery and much, much more from this wonderful store. I actually own one of the Graveyard business card holders and it sits proudly on my desk adding the right amount of spook to my working days.

Lady Jo Bangles

If you're after vintage inspired pieces then this store is for you. You'll be able to find a whole bunch of vintage Halloween tricks and treats including wall art, decorations and jewellery from the Lady Jo Bangles store.

All items are hand-painted and they really do look amazing. If you're after something a little less spooky then be sure to check out all the other vintage inspired creations too.

You can check out the store right here and be sure to hit follow on instagram also.

Nine Lives Later

Nine Lives Later is filled with handmade tattoo inspired treats. You'll be able to find Black Cat pennants, tote bags, pillows and more.

The Ghost Family Haunts

10 Spooky Things To Still Look Forward To In 2020

5/28/2020

1 Comment

I think we can all agree that so far 2020 hasn't exactly been the best year so far... but that doesn't mean we should just push it under the carpet and wait for 2021 to hurry up and save the day.

Although nothing this year is guaranteed, hopefully the ten things below will be enough to at least give you something to look forward to this year and still bring a little piece of Halloween to your day. Please also do let me know what you're most looking forward to this year too in the comments below!

New Funko Pops
Funko has revealed so many new Funko Pops recently for their Funkoween in May event.

This year will see the introduction of new Zombieland, Corpse Bride, The Craft and Marvel Zombie Pops. In fact there are so many new Horror/Halloween themed Funko Pops being released that I felt it was only necessary they had their own blog post, which you can check out right here.

Personally I am excited for the new Hocus Pocus funko pops (There are more characters than the Sanderson Sisters though Funko!) and also the new Corpse Bride pops too.

Shopping

Although a fairly easy one on the list, it definitely is something to look forward to. I know quite a few of you are worried that ranges might be affected this year due to the closure of so many stores from the Pandemic. At one point I saw rumours that some stores wouldn't be getting any Halloween stuff at all and honestly I could not find any fact behind any of these claims.

Whether you're going into a store or shopping online, there will be many new releases from all kinds of stores this year and it's definitely one thing to look forward to. I can't wait to see what Homesense and TK Maxx release this year as those are my two favourite UK stores and also have the best range of Halloween goodies each year.

American Horror Story

Although production might be a little delayed and also the theme changed due to the time of year being one of the key features of the new season, we will still get another American Horror story!

This years theme has already been teased but still we all have no idea what it is. Ryan Murphy even revealed a new spin off series called American Horror Stories is also in the works. The new show will focus on individual stories per episode instead of one long storyline per season.

Hocus Pocus Board Game

To say I am excited for this one is an understatement. Due for release this summer, Hocus Pocus the board game is being released by Ravensburger. The goal of the game is to defeat the Sanderson Sisters before sunrise, fail and they will live forever. This family friendly game also comes in a book style box and includes spells and quotes from the film. No official release date has been revealed yet but we do know that it's definitely coming this year.

Halloween Kills

The next installment in the Halloween franchise and also new trilogy, Halloween Kills is still due for release this October.

A very short behind the scenes video was revealed by Jamie Lee Curtis last Halloween and it reveals very quick scenes from the upcoming sequel. The story will continue directly where the 2018 release left off and will also continue into the final part of the trilogy Halloween Ends which is due to be released in 2021.

Jason Blum also revealed recently on twitter that the trailer is on the way. Fingers crossed we get a reveal of what's in store very soon.

You can check out the video teaser below.

Halloween Countdown Calendar

Although this does fall under Funko Releases I felt like this needed it's own place on this list as who doesn't love a countdown calendar?

Christmas can move aside as a new Halloween Countdown Calendar is about to hit the shelves and this one includes 13 mini Funko Pop figures from some of your favourite movies. Included in the calendar are Pops from Beetlejuice, The Nun, IT, Friday the 13th and The Shining.

Due for release in August, this will give you plenty of time to grab one in time for the spookiest month of the year.

Bethany Lowe Designs

A new year means so many new Bethany Lowe Designs products! If you're a collector or just love the odd piece, this years range of new arrivals will have something for everyone. I put a list of some of my favourite releases for this year, which you can check out right here.

So we can all look forward to new vintage style creations, brand new Johanna Parker arrivals and more. Speaking of Johanna Parker you can grab so many other treats from Johanna's Partners in Craft collections. A small group of independent artists and stores have worked with Johanna to release unique pieces.

Halloween

This year the spookiest day of the year it's at it's spookiest. Not only does it fall on a Saturday but there will also be a full moon!

What's more is that if you're in the USA the clocks actually go back an hour in the early hours of November 1st (UK is Oct 25th) so for those partying on Halloween night, you'll have an extra hour of spooky fun.
So get planning as whether we're in lockdown or not you will not want to miss out on this Halloween.

New Lego Haunted House

Lego have unveiled a brand new Haunted House set that is actually already available to VIP members but will have a general release on June 1st for everyone else.

The set contains 3231 pieces and includes 8 characters too. Aimed at adults (18+ age on the box) this set will allow you to build a Haunted House ride with actual motorised free fall lift! The motor is sold separately but honestly with how cool this is, you'll need it!

"Welcome to Manor von Barron, a spooky Haunted House theme-park ride packed with chills and thrills for all who dare to enter. Once home to one of the world’s greatest villains who travelled the globe in search of treasures to steal, this Haunted House is a nostalgic throwback to classic LEGO® adventure sets, so be sure to look for rare bricks and ancient artifacts hidden throughout this spooky set!"

The set is priced at £209.99 here in the UK.

The Haunting Of Bly Manor

If you enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House then you should be excited for the second season of the anthology series from Netflix. Bly Manor began production in September 2019 and luckily wrapped in February of this year making all filming (unless reshoots and additional scenes are required) completed. Which also means that it's on track to still be released this year.

The Second season will be based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James and will include at least four of the original cast members returning as brand new characters. It has already been stated its a new story so there will be no link to the original.

There is no official release date yet but my guess is we'll be seeing it around the spookiest month of the year!
