Halloween Pressies 2025 🧙🏻‍♀️

A part of me is still holding on to spooky season, it's still Fall so I think I'm allowed to do it until December arrives, lol. October went by so, so fast but I think I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't do some of the things I do other years but, it felt full of fun activities, places, seasonal food and lots of movies.

 You know Halloween is pretty much like Christmas to me so yeah, we have a pressies post because I gave and recievied some. Plus y'all know I just love to make these posts so, let's just do this!

This was the first pressie I received this year earlier in the month. Sometimes we like to do this things just to celebrate the season. My sister got me the BTVS Tarot Cards and, they are prefect! I want to learn how to read Tarot so, I can't see a better way todo it than with Buffy cards. I might share them more in detail in a future post.

I spy vamps! These goodies were from my mom.

These three items are from the same collection. A Vamp tin, plate and a tumbler. I'm obsessed and I know these will be used all year round, not just in October. The tumbler glows in the dark.

The Dracula book is a kids book, the cutest! We also have a "Vampire venom" container and some yummies that are far gone now, hehe.

The book comes with stickers and a mask.

My spooky mugs & cups collection is slowly growing again and I couldn't be happier! How cute is this ghost one tho? I love how neutral but in your face Halloween it is. (does it make any sense?). It doesn't look too big on camera but, it has a great size for my morning coffee.

My pressies came in the Nightmare Before Christmas Sally bag. It's a reusable bag and, I love Sally. We also have a "boo" sign that decorated my coffee station as soon as I received it and a Day of the Dead candle that I used on the altar for my pets this year.

Lastly, we have a tee! This is defo something I can wear all year round. There's something witchy and magical about it that I just love.
                                             
These two were from my sister. I don't think it shows that much but both, the bag and the box, have spiders on them.

In the black box was this Halloween sweater. I am in love with it, it's spooky and cute at the same time and, it's my first Halloween sweater.

Decorating the bag and the box were these babies, a black cat and a bat. They will be hanging from my bags not only during Halloween season but, all year round. 

The next things I'm gonna show you came in the box. I'll start with these pumpkin, knitted coasters. They are so pretty! I had them on my wishlist for a while and I'm so happy I received them as pressies. 

Halloween Reese's & Kisses in the cutests little pouches.

My first pair of Halloween sleepers ever! They are super soft and warm. I love them!

From left to right: Halloween wish bracelet whch is the cutest thing ever, bat bottle opener and a coffee wooden sign that will go on my coffee station all year.

Closer look to the wish bracelet 🦇
These next ones were not part of my sister's pressies, they came later. 
 
Gremlins tee! I didn't have one and this year, I started getting more horror/movies tees. This one is really cute with a flirtly looking Gizmo on it.

During wine nights we also gave some seasonal or themed goodies, like this cute kitchen towel and witch hat cookie.

This adorable knitted ghost was a gift from one of my coworkers/student. It was a very surprising and thoughtful pressie. She also included the 3 skull lollies in the gift.

One of my friends gave me some Halloween stickers. I especially loved the vintage looking ones.

Candy corn hair clip, I get lots of compliments when I wear it. It is so cute!

If you read my last post, I showed you some of the Little Universal Monsters things I bought but, I also received some as pressies. This Frankie & bride water bottle is adorable! I love how this year I got new monsters tumblers and bottles to use all year round. 

And continuing with the Little Monsters, we have a Dracula glass. I love what it says, it's just funny and cute at the same time.

And those are the pressies I received this year. It always feels like Christmas but better, haha. I feel like this year I celebrated the season a lot more than last year.
Of course I also put some Boo baskets and pressies together this year, is one of my favorite things to do!

These were for my mom and my sister, I kept my mom's witchy and my sister's Halloweeney. I included pj's, some themed drinks, snacks, candy and other goodies.

These cauldrons were for my friends. I filled them with Halloween scrunchies, straw tops and pimple patches. They were small but I think they turned out really cute.

And, I think with this post we close the Halloween season around here. Boo! I really hope you all had a fun Halloween and a great spooky season. I know it's pretty much Christmas everywhere by now but, I'm just not ready for it yet.

See you next time~!💋

Halloween Haul 2025 #2⚰️


 We have one last Halloween haul this year of the things I didn't include on my previous one. These are random things I got throughout the month and I didn't want to save them for next year. I also got a couple of things on clearance. It wasn't much and nothing too exciting cuz everything was super picked over when I went. Maybe next year~

First I got these bat paper straws from Joi. I don't really use straws that often but I think it'd be cute to use them throughout the year to add a spooky touch to drinks and stuff. The package comes with 25 straws. 

This earring display has to be one of my favorite things ever. I got it to display and organize my Halloween earrings cuz I had them in this random container. They deserved some love. 
It is from Temu, they had other cute designs too.

I think this is the first time I buy an animal skelleton and, surprise surprise, it's not a cat! Hehe. This baby is still out in my living room even now that I took down my Halloween decor, I think I might keep it all year round. It is also from Joi.

Getting these bloody gloves was my mom's idea. She said it'd be fun for me to wear them when I drive to protect my hands and part of my arms from the sun. She know me well, haha. These are from Waldo's Mart. I have to say, even tho they fit, they are a little tight.

Fun bat napkins, I feel like I can use these before next Halloween.

I didn't need this but, it is so cool! I got a small vampire cape thing for wine bottles. I am obsessed and I need more! I found it on Temu

These next things are the ones I got on clearance at Walmart. Like I mentioned before, everything was super picked over and I couldn't find any decor anymore...

I really liked theUniversal Studios Little Monsters collection this year so, I got a couple of Dracula goodies. The first one is a melamine bowl thingy that would be great for snacks, then we have this ceramic trinket dish, that has to be my favorite thing out of them. It is so cute! I'm gonna keep it in my room, all year round. Last one is another melamine plate. SO CUTE! I got some with other monsters for my mom too.

I also got ghosty serial lights. The ghosts are very small and it's not a long one but, I want it for the coffee station next year so I think it'll be ok.

I wanted this bloody tumbler since I saw it but I'm glad I waited because I got it for half price. I would've loved if they had another color for the tumbler and just keep the blood part red so it could stand out a little bit more but, I still love it. They also had a slime green one, similar to the one Starbucks had before. I got one for my sister too.

I didn't have halloween glasses so this was my chance! I 'm not a big green fan but, they didn't have enough purple glasses. Still think it works. Can you believe I didn't get the one pink skull they had?


Last thing I got is this Nightmare Before Christmas tin thingy. It has 3 divisions so it's perfect to store different small things.

I have some tea in it for now, maybe I'll change it in the future. Idk.

And, that will be it for my Halloween shopping this year. The month went by way too fast and I was so not ready to let go of it, hehe. 
We still have 1 more Halloween post and with that, we will officially close the season. 

See you next time~!💋

Halloween Haul 2025 ⚰️

I know I've been sharing spooky hauls in the past few months but, they were not really Halloween hauls. Today we have a collective haul with actual Halloween items. I know some things from the spooky hauls could be considered Halloween stuff for some but I decided to share here the things I got that were part of Halloween merch in stores or super in-your-face Halloween goodies.

OK! Let's get started!

I'm gonna start with the oldest item. I found this Snoopy book at a garage sale. It's actually a Mc Donald's book and even tho it comes with stories from other holidays as well, I mainly got it because of the Great Pumpkin and the Halloween part. I think The Great Pumpkin is a Halloween classic so, I had to include it here.

A sneak peek of what it looks like inside.

These Halloween scrunchies are from Temu. They came in a set of 8 (I think) but I only kept 3, the others are going to be part of my Halloween pressies this year. They all have a different design and color. I think they are a perfect way to add a Halloween touch without being too obvious. 

Closer look to the designs. I love them!

Witch hat straw top thingy. A few months ago I got a bat one and I love them. I think it's a fun wat to decotare your drinks, hehe. This one came in a set too, and it's also from Temu.


Halloween Pimple Patches! Do I need them? Probably not but, I couldn't resist, they are way too cute! 
They are from (surprise, surprise) Temu too. They had other brands and designs to choose from.

Moving on to Walmart, I got this Oogie Boogie jar from their Nightmare Before Christmas collection this year. I think it was the first thing I got when they started releasing some early Halloween. Right now, it is on my coffee station, I decided to keep some sugar on it for now.

I rarely choose Oogie Boogie stuff but I decided to go for it this year to have something different. They also Had a Jack one that was orange, I kinda wanted to get it too.

I also found this Rae Dunn canister at Walmart. I wanted one of these for a while now so I was very happy when I saw it. I wish it had a different phrase so I could keep it all year cuz Trick or Treat is super Halloweeny. Oh well. I think this could work as a cookie jar but I kept some tea bags in it.

Back to Temu, I got Halloween mascara! It might not be the best brand ever but, presentation is cute, I can use it in other seasons too and honestly, it does the job. They had other fantasy colors for costumes and stuff, I got this one cuz I wanna wear it as normal, everyday mascara.

So not necessary but, I got another Halloween plate. Loved the color combination, the fact that it was witchy and, of course, the bats. Plus, it's huge!

This wooden sign is so fun! I mainly wanted it to decorate my coffee station this year but I also think it'd look great on a bar or the kitchen.

I see this set of 4 place mats every year and I never get them, so this year I decided to go for it, the match a table cloth I got last year and if you don't use them on the table, they can add a spooky something to any other surface.

I got ghost cups for my small "Welcoming Fall" reunion with my family and, of course, I had to keep one. They are super cute, translucent and have a pretty good size for coffee. We were all in love with them. 

I love these socks to wear around the house. I have many but, I've never had Halloween ones. I just had to. They are from Temu and they had like 2 or 3 other designs. Of course I choose bats. 

I'm obsessed with the back tho, the rubbery part they usually have is a haunted house! I don't know if the picture shows it that much but, the details!

And just when I thought I was done with my halloween shopping I found this. My most unnecessary purchase so far. It's an inflatable coffin! I think it'd perfect and super fun for a pool, which I don't have (lol) and it can be also used as a cooler. I have to find a good way to use it. But, I have no regrets.

I mean, isn't it cool?

I swear everytime I say I will stop, another thing catches my eye when I go out. I ended up getting this cauldron wax melter. I wanted to get one anyway and this one is cuter than others I've seen. It is also something I will leave out all year.

And I think I'm gonna end this post here cuz I keep adding and adding things and I don't want it to be a super duper long one. Will that stop me from buying more? Probs not, but I can always share another one later, haha.

See you next time~!⚰️
