Whether or not you’re ready for it, the time is here to get started on making this Halloween happen. If you’re trying to step up your Halloween game and are running low on time, here’s a list of some of my favorite spooktacular finds on Amazon.

Indoor Projection Lightbulbs

These festive lightbulbs project both Halloween and Christmas shapes onto whatever wall you prefer in your house. I like to use this lightbulb in my living room lamp to project onto the ceiling in the evenings and one in the hall light to project onto the floor.

 Add one or a few of these lightbulbs to your house during the whole holiday season as this lightbulb switches easily from Halloween to Christmas projections. I like using this decoration all season long, but they also make great party decorations!

Halloween Cutouts

These Halloween cutouts make great indoor decorations throughout the season or just for a party. Decorations include bats, spiders, ghosts, pumpkins, a 3D Chandelier, and more. I enjoy using these cutouts as a pop of color for my spooky Halloween decor all October long.

If you’re feeling a little extra, you can totally cut these things out with your Cricut and make your own. I love this idea, but don’t always have the time or energy. Thank you, Amazon Prime, for making my life easier during the holidays.

Party Supplies

This bulk pack of Halloween shaped glow stick is essential for every party and trick or treater. They make a great inexpensive party favor and make you look like Safety Mom Of The Year.

Paper drinking straws are both trendy and safe for sea turtles, so what better way to celebrate Halloween than with these frighteningly festive paper straws.

If you are having a Halloween party and want to just buy a pack of party supplies someone else put together for you, I highly suggest this simple Halloween Party Supplies Pack.

Haunted Gingerbread House

These Haunted Gingerbread House kits are fun for the whole family. Everyone, even my 2 year old daughter and 32 year old husband, enjoys this activity! Haunted Gingerbread Houses are so popular, Food Netword has a challenge show entirely about Haunted Gingerbread House building.

Order one of these kits for an activity to do with your family AND a creepy, colorful Halloween decoration. Order a few for a party activity or to build a Haunted Gingerbread Town.

Halloween Outdoor Projector

We pair this projector with purple lights in our front yard for an eery effect. The kit contains 15 replaceable slides, including Christmas trees, Santa Claus, Halloween skeleton, clown, snowman, love, birthday cake, fireworks, and much more.  

The projector works for both interior and exterior walls, landscapes, dance floors and more to create a festive atmosphere. The built in timer takes some of my anxiety away, and that’s what it’s all about.

 

Solar Outdoor Purple Lights

These purple decorative waterproof fairy lights add the perfect amount of fright to your front yard. Solar powered lights are a new thing for me, but I dig them. The light sensor controls the solar string lights, so auto on at dark and auto off at daytime.

Waterproof lights always ease my anxiety with the extra chance of wet weather during the holidays. The 8 different modes allow me to change up the light pattern, just the control I need during the hectic holidays. You can substitute for the plug-in kind if you can’t trust the sun where you live!

 

Candy (Avoid The Stores)

The beginning of holiday sales and items at stores is so exciting! But by the time you actually need to buy candy, your local Target may just be one giant anxiety attack. Avoid drama and anxiety by ordering your candy or snacks to hand out to trick or treaters. I’ve included a few of my favorite options. For the candy snob, just go ahead and order a bulk package of Reese’s pumpkins. We all miss them once they are gone from the stores, so load up now. Popcornopolis Halloween Cones are another fnacy idea to make your party guests shiver with delight. For the healthy minded momma, Annie’s Halloween Bunnies are the perfect pick. Whatever your Halloween Treat vibe is, order from Amazon for easy fun!

Extension Cords

Do we ever really have enough of these? I don’t. I’m always asking my husband to find me an extension cord, especially during the holidays.

You might as well order a few now from Amazon to have when you need them for holiday lighting, ridiculous front lawn blow up characters, extra curling irons, crock pots, stuff like that.

Halloween Costumes

Halloween costumes are an overwheling subject for me, so I am going to share a few themes and ideas I have researched on Amazon. Use these ideas to spark your spirit or just order the whole dang thing on Amazon for the most ease.

Whether you are dressing up your entire family in coordinating costumes or decorating each family member individually, these ideas will either work for you or help you think of an idea that would work better!

Is Lent a Celebration?

Is Lent a Celebration?

Why do we say “Happy Ash Wednesday” when Ash Wednesday focuses on death? Why do we announce that we “celebrate” the season of Lent? Have you ever wished someone a “Happy Good Friday”? It must seem a little odd to be celebrating death and darkness. Death is...
