Halloween decorations

Little Alex

Has anyone seen any Halloween stuff on sale yet?

I see Euro2 have their stuff out already. They have a good selection, as they do every year and I got a few new things there yesterday. Among other things I got two strings of Christmas tree-style lights and I'm thinking of making a mini "Halloween Tree" this year. I also got a lovely window wreath.

I'll put up a few photos as I start to put the decorations up.

Hi
love Halloween as well so love when all the decorations start coming into the shops:D and have gradually been building up my collection for the last 5 years. yes the pound shops are a great place to start and try a few different ones cause sometimes the different shops have different stock. I also love tk maxx for halloween decorations although abit more expensive I always try to 'invest' in one or two good halloween decorations from tkmaxx each year. Also if you seach halloween craft you can get some lovely ideas from the american and canadian websites that you could make your self. I have also set my eye on this lady this year http://www.joke.co.uk/halloween-party-decorations~1255/5-hanging-witch-holding-crystal-ball~67355.html think it may have to be an investment piece for this year:D please post fotos would love to see

I'm the same, Trishka. I have a collection that goes back about 10 years now, at this stage. I buy a few nice new pieces every year.

The witch you're thinking of going for looks the business!

These are two photos from last year:





If they were available in Ireland I would buy items from a company called Lemax. Google them. They make awesome Christmas stuff (I'll be posting pics in the Christmas forum when the time comes) and also do a line in Halloween table decorations.

Great idea to post pics. A bit like the Christmas tree thread in the Christmas forum.

Considering I'm obsessed with Halloween its strange that I have only ever carved a pumpkin once, here's my attempt!!:D

Thanks for the pictures. I like the idea of having the bats on the wall. How I ponder would you stick them to it then. If anyone knows of any place in cork too selling crows i am on the look out for them

I was in Dunnes today, they have a good bit of halloween costumes (kids and adults) and decorations, they even have purple LED lights I was very tempted. They have various trick or treat bags, hats, shoes, wigs, laterns, figurines, talking skull lights, talking witches!

I love Halloween but I've never really decorated the house. I think I'll have to pick up a few bits this year

Thank you thank you thank you. Blew this years budget in one shop!

Great stuff, very reasonably priced. I finally got me a life size skeleton:D Took great pleasure driving home with it in the passenger seat too:)

15-20 for near lifesize figures (30 for the skeleton) and 7.50 for a lifesize skeleton climbing out of the ground. Some very nice light up pictures (for want of a better way of describing them) for 4 quid. Also some great sort of holey netty grubby material type drapes for 1.50.
