Cool Stuff
Welcome to the whimsical world of “cute, but creepy” Halloween magic, where adorable meets unsettling in the most delightful way!
A witchy cauldron that’s perfect for heating up your most devious potions — and by that, I mean fragrance oils. Just pop a few drops at the top and place a tea light underneath (reviewers recommend using larger tea lights for the most fragrance output). Pair it with a pack of Halloween fragrance oils in scents like caramel corn, night air, and candy corn to really get you in the festive spirit!
A set of Beetlejuice-inspired Glamnetic press-on nails featuring the strangely-lovable sandworms. Yes, they’re total nightmare-fuel, but I would absolutely watch a Moo Deng-style livestream of their daily lives if that existed. Reviewers say these are easy to apply, last for up to two weeks, and are surprisingly sturdy, so you can flip through your Handbook for the Recently Deceased without worrying about chipping a nail.
A Halloween wreath with a dreary graveyard scene to make your twisted heart feel right at home every time you step through the front door. You might just be tempted to leave it out for Christmas, and Sandy Claws would absolutely approve.
A Creepy Kawaii coloring book that’s racked up 6,200+ rave ratings for its merrily macabre drawings that’ll truly make you feel seen. If a fortune-telling black cat or spell-casting spider speaks to your soul — you just found your next favorite before-bed activity.
Ghost-shaped shalt and pepper shakers that are spooky-ooky when apart, but ridiculously adorable when they embrace! Reviewers say the spacious rubber stopper at the bottom makes them super easy to refill, and they’re so adorable you might just leave them out to haunt you all year long.
A pair of skeleton earrings — they’ll hang out on your lobes to add some chilling cheer to any outfit. These are the ultimate conversation starters, and they might just inspire an impromptu game of hangman or two.
Or!!! Little ghost earrings that glow in the dark to let everyone know they mean spooky business! Just expose these little cuties to sunlight for 10 minutes to activate the glow — no judgment if you constantly turn off all the lights to fully appreciate them.
A Halloween tabletop tree, because why should Christmas be the only holiday with cute trees?! This one comes pre-lit with 20 purple bulbs, 20 removable spiders, and six bat ornaments, so you can deck the halls with creepy crawlies.
Or a Halloween tree that puts a spooky twist on the vintage ceramic Christmas versions. The purple and orange lights will add a warm glow to your Halloween setup, and it even has a jack-o-lantern at the top to be your guiding light to Halloween Town.
A set of zombie ice pop molds for a spine-tingling chilly treat made with your favorite juices. The melt-guards are shaped like legs, so you can stand these up on their own and stage a cute Instagram photo before chowing down on your chilling concoction.
A delightfully frightful wine opener that essentially acts as a bat signal for those “I need a glass of merlot STAT!” moments. It has super cute bat ears on the handle (which can also be used as a bottle opener), and it spreads its wings as you get to uncorking a bottle.
Spidey the Spider — a creepily cute lavender-scented plush you can pop in the microwave for 60-90 seconds any time you need a warm hug to keep the nightmares away. You can also put it in the freezer if you need to cool down after a long night of trick-or-treating.
A skeleton-shaped baster brush so you can spook-tacularly spread your marinades and sauces all over your favorite fall recipes with ease. Reviewers say the silicone bristles provide an even glaze, and the top-hat-shaped handle is the perfect width for gripping. Also, its name is Skully, which is just plain adorable.
A comfy sweatshirt featuring a tiny ghost who has returned from the dead to enjoy the best of what fall has to offer: pumpkin spice lattes, cozy beanies, and jack-o-lanterns. This ghost is clearly the Caitlin Covington of the spirit realm.
Or a knitted pullover sweater that dares to ask, “What if we took an ugly Christmas sweater and turned it into an adorable Halloween sweater instead?” The result is adorable — and reviewers say the fabric is plush and the fit is perfectly oversized.
A pair of Elizabat kitchen scissors that’ll basically fly right through the toughest of veggies, herbs, and meats. Reviewers rave that they’re super sharp and that the wing-shaped handles are surprisingly comfy.
A Hello Kitty skeleton mug — it’ll haunt anyone who dares to say, “You know, she’s actually not a cat!” (Oh really?! Well, if she’s not a cat, then why is she a cat?!!). Anyways, this mug can hold 20 ounces of your go-to pumpkin spice K-cups, though you might be tempted to place her out as decor.
A scarily squeezable Oogie Boogie Squismallow for the times when you need something to curl up with while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas and singing “This Is Halloween” at the top of your lungs. Squishmallows have become extremely popular due to their uniquely squishy texture, so this can also function as a stress-relieving toy when work is getting downright ghastly.
A Lite Brite featuring the creatures and symbols of Stranger Things to add a menacing glow to your arts and crafts time. Lite Brite has undergone some upgrades since back in the day — now it comes with four light modes (white light, alternating flash, all-flash, and rotating flash) to help set the sinister scene, and it even includes a sheet of stickers to decorate the outside.
And a Demogorgon-shaped mini planter for anyone with a grimly green thumb. It comes with a fake succulent, but some reviewers say it’s possible to remove it and replace it with a real one if that’s more your style.
A crossbody bag that’ll scare you away from reaching for your wallet and making any ill-advised impulse purchases — except when it comes to cute Halloween decor, of course. Reviewers say it’s super spacious for its size, so you’ll have plenty of space to stow away some Reese’s Pumpkins for the road.
A “Gracula” garlic crusher, because getting the stench of crushed garlic off of your hands is an absolute nightmare. All you have to do is pop the peeled garlic inside, give Gracula a twist, and then thank him for sacrificing himself to provide you with perfectly crushed garlic.
A coffin letter board with both letters and emojis, so you can craft a delightfully wicked message and toss a few cute ghosts at the end to soften the delivery — just like you do with all your work e-mails!!! No, but seriously, can you get those slides to me by noon? 👻👻👻
