So Spooky - Halloween Gift Ideas

Boo to you! Are you as excited for Halloween as we are? We love to dress up as a scary character, the excitement of trick or treating and of course turning our humble homes into haunted mansions!

This year we are obsessed with the aesthetic of Gothic romanticism. This style is perfect for lovers of all things vintage! We love the eerie vibes and sophisticated look. This literary subgenre emerged from the larger Romantic movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It blended Romanticism's focus on emotion and the individual with Gothic themes of terror, mystery, the supernatural and the dark perfectly.

with the 'Nightmare before Christmas' We love Tim Burton's creations and their unique and creepy look, they make great characters to dress up to for Halloween parties.

From our favourite spooky genres to classic Halloween icons, here are some of our absolute favourites!

Halloween Home Décor

Halloween wouldn't be the same without décor pieces that capture the spirit of the spooky season. From unique candle holders to mugs that will let you get into the Halloween spirit right form the first sip of your morning coffee, we have some amazing additions to your home.

Let's start with the classics! The Jack o lantern is a true Halloween staple. Carving a scary face into a pumpkin and watch the eerie glow is such a fun part of Halloween. With our Terracotta Halloween Pumpkin Decoration you can bring this icon to your home without having all that messy carving to do.

Black cats are associated with witches and are believed to be their familiar. Our Groovy Black Witch Cat Mug with Lid makes the perfect companion. This feline will make sure that your spell casting goes smoothly after a relaxing morning brew.

For those that love Gothic romanticism as much as we do. Our Mystic Manor No. 08 Incense & Tea Light Holder will bring a haunted yet sophisticated touch to any space. The detailed manor design can hold a incense cone or tealight.

Edgar Allen Poe is one of the most famous writers of the Gothic horror genre and 'The Raven' is a hauntingly spooky story. With our The Raven Book Shaped Gothic Storage Box you can show your love for both Halloween and literature.

Boo there! If you are not into the scary then these friendly spooks will brighten your day (and keep evil away)! Boo To You Ghost Mini Candle Holder is too cute. With him by your side you'll never be afraid of ghosts ever again.

This cute ghost is ready for Halloween! Our Ghost with Pumpkin Halloween Mug loves to be filled with a hot chocolate with marshmallows! Team up with this cutie, put your favourite horror movie on and get cosy.

Halloween Jewellery

Are you the more subtle type when it comes to displaying your love for the spooky season? We think jewellery is a great way to add a little nod to Halloween without having to go all in. We have a few pieces that capture the spirit of Halloween but still feel like they can be worn anytime of the year.

Isn't this the cutest spook you've ever seen? We are sure our Enamel Ghost Pendant Necklace will bring smiles and cuteness to your day (or night).

Bats are truly unique creatures, Since bats are mammals, yet can fly, they are considered to be liminal beings in various traditions. In many cultures, including in Europe, bats are associated with darkness, death and witchcraft. Their association with Vampires and Dracula make our Silver Bat Stud Earrings a fun accessory during the spooky season.

These little Black Cat Stud Earrings are perfect for those who love cuteness even during the spooky season. We are sure they will bring nothing lese than good luck.

We love this Black Enamel Bow Pendant Necklace in Gold with the black enamel detailing, this unique piece will help you transform into a Gothic goddess or a haunted Victorian lady.

Halloween Jellycat

Spooky Season wouldn't be the same without Jellycat joining the celebrations! We love all their quirky creations and are especially smitten with their new Halloween range! We love the creative designs, cute faces and detailed embroidery that brings all these characters to life.

Amuseables Skull Planter and Amuseables Toffee Apple truly look like characters out of Tim Burton's 'Nightmare Before Christmas', the stunning stop motion musical heavily inspired by Gothic horror. These two loke like they came straight out of Halloweentown and make a great gift for fans of the creations of Tim Burton or the hauntingly beautiful aesthetics of the costumes or masks of the 'Dios de Muertos', celebrated in Mexico.

Mummy Bob has been around for a while (as you can see!), he is one of our all-time favourites. The sweet face, artfully embalmed body, we just know this mummy will not put a curse on us. Heccaty Hootnightly has learned a lot of magic at wizard school! whether you need help with a spell or insights into the world of magical creatures, this owl is happy to share their wisdom.

Tiny but Creepy

For all those who live in small homes, student accommodation or flat shares, but still want to celebrate Halloween in style: These decorations may be small but they are terrifying (or at least terrifyingly cute)! You can add instant terror to any room and won't have to stretch your budget doing so.

We admit, sometimes Ghost Felt Magnet even scares us a bit, when we walk passed him! Whether you place him on your fridge at home or the one at the office, no one will dare to touch your yogurt! Our Felt Clown Hanging Decoration is even scarier! It will terrify all those with coulrophobia or everyone that has seen 'It' when they were way too young!

Skeleton Playing Violin Hanging Decoration is another unique decor piece that clearly is inspired by the Day of the Dead! He is sure to play you a haunting song! The Mexican festival celebrates and remembers the departed. The celebration is not solely focused on the dead, as gifts can also be offered to family and friends. You may have seen the stunning costumes and traditional skull mask that give the 'Dios de Muertos' its iconic look.

Ever had that feeling that you're being watched? It is such a creepy sensation! With our Orange Eyeball Felt Magnet you can pass that freaky feeling on to your flatmates or family.

Keep it spooky and enjoy your trick or treat or Halloween party!  To browse our full Halloween collection, click here.
