Gifts For #Halloween2025 And #Fall2025

We like to do fun things to recognize every holiday. And especially now, since Callan is older, it is fun to give themed gifts, things he will enjoy! Here are a few great finds for the Spooky and Cozy Season!

Painting4Real kits are designed to produce frame-worthy, lifelike artwork, even for total beginners. Each kit combines fine art techniques with guided creativity, utilizing premium materials and realistic color palettes to teach you actual skills. Perfect for art lovers, mindfulness seekers, or anyone who wants to unplug and unwind, Painting4Real kits offer a creative escape with a stunning result. They have something for every season, including Frankenstein! So fun!

Plushie Dreadfuls, the toy company that promotes emotional well–being, empathy, and acceptance, is launching a collection of plush toys that connect spooky charm with heartfelt meaning. For the Halloween season, check out the new collection! I am so in love! We got Tricksee Belle (who I think is my favorite), and Bunny Lugosi, Werebun, and Headless Bunsman (who is Callan's fave!). They are so soft, and each comes with its own tote bag. So cuddly! Have I mentioned I am in love?

Petsies Custom Pillows - these are so cute for any season, but I like them now for when it is becoming Fall and you get that feeling like you want to cuddle! Petsies has tons of other great items as well, all customizable, so they are the perfect gift for all the pet lovers in your life!

Sticky hands from cookie decorating and baking can be cleaned with ease this Halloween season! Individually packaged and perfect for entertaining, Handzies Soap + Water Wipes give everyone fresh, clean hands using only natural castile soap, water, and essential oils. Say goodbye to harsh hand sanitizers. Handzies do not contain alcohol, BZK, triclosan, artificial perfumes, or dyes. Now with a fun tangerine scent!

#Halloween2025 Ferocious Finds For #Fall2025

Even though Halloween is not really a gifting holiday, other than candy of course - we still like to give (and get, smirk) gifts! Here are a few we think are freakishly cool!

The Soap Cauldron brings us the Bathe In Peace set! Enjoy any one of our classic scents of Bar Soap and Body Butter made with gourmet oils and butters. The gift set includes one of three classic blends in a sleek and custom-made gift box. The handcrafted artisan bar soaps combine pure essential oils blended artfully with nourishing botanicals, gourmet plant oils, and butters to leave skin soft and supple. The rich and smooth lather of these bar soaps pamper skin while naturally retained glycerin moisturizes all over. Set Includes: 1- Bar Soap, 1 - Body Butter, 1 - Handcrafted Coffin Gift Box in a variety of designs.

Rookie Mage Games gives us Don't Get Stabbed!, a party game where you get to kill your family and friends - for pretend, of course. It’s inspired by horror movies like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Scream, but is light-hearted enough for everyone to enjoy. The perfect gift for a horror fan. This entertaining game is playable for 3 to 5 players. One person is elected as the killer (whoever is the most evil in your group), and the rest are victims. The killer wins by killing all the victims. The victims win by escaping. The average player will love this game for its gameplay! The horror fan will love the art on many of these cards, which features classic horror movie tropes. There are tons of fun in playing this game and in its artwork.

Early Fall Finds #Fall2025 #Halloween2025

As the Fall season approaches, here are some great finds to check out this season - some eerily perfect for the upcoming Halloween holiday as well!

A unique and cozy fall find is the DurableME: The Self-Leadership Deck and Companion Workbook - perfect for sparking reflection and meaningful conversation as the seasons change. The deck includes 24 beautifully designed cards with reflection prompts to strengthen traits like courage, resilience, and self-awareness, plus a companion workbook and digital access. An intentional activity for cozy evenings in, family reflection around the table, or a mindful alternative to the usual candy and costumes.

PaperJoyPrints features lots of bookish, spooky, handmade goods and home decor. We got the most adorable Spooky Wine Glass Charms, Custom Boo Bag Tags (I love this so much!), and Handmade Acrylic Coffin Earrings! I cannot wait to rock the earrings! Most of you know Halloween is my favorite holiday! 

EarthKind pest prevention pouches are fast-acting, plant-based, and provide a no-kill alternative to dealing with mice, ants, spiders, and more. Each pouch gives off a natural fragrance blend - like balsam fir, rosemary, or cedar - that doubles as a cozy, fall-friendly home scent while keeping unwanted pests out. Whether it’s protecting candy stashes from ants, keeping rodents away from decorations in storage, or making sure Halloween parties stay fright-free, EarthKind products are a smart seasonal essential. And with the 100% money-back Guarantee, they’re a gift of peace of mind, too. For our Florida home, we got Stay Away Spider pouches (which smell really good!) and the Mosquito repellent, which will come in handy for the JROTC cadets participating in our local Haunted Hampton outdoor spooky trail coming up!

If you are looking for a little fun and spooky fashion, the popular Zombie Keychains from Northwest Straps have spawned their perfect match: the Zombie Belt. This isn’t just gear - it’s a statement straight out of the underworld. Built tough with heavy-duty webbing and a solid buckle, it fuses durability with undead style. Whether you’re chasing horror fashion trends, leveling up your goth goals, or just want a belt that screams apocalypse chic, this is the piece to complete your fit.
