This year has been busy. The fact that it’s October already really blows my mind. Last week I finally purchased Ryan’s Halloween costume, but I hadn’t come across an outfit for Emma. She had told me she wants to be a witch, but I couldn’t find anything I liked in stores.
We’re just about mid-month here and I was starting to stress because if you wait too long to snatch one up, the good costumes are always all gone. At least in my experience. Luckily I found one on Oriental Trading last week and it came quickly.
We decided on the Witch Goth Maiden Girl’s Costume. It’s perfect for my 5-year-old., because I think it looks more sweet than scary. She tried it on for me after school and she absolutely loved it. It includes the fun witch hat that was a must for me because you can’t have a witch costume without it.
To complete the costume I decided on the Classic Witches’ Broom. It’s only $5 and can be used for decor too.
I can’t shop Oriental Trading without looking for some fun Halloween decor. Since my kids and most children in our neighborhood are fairly young, I didn’t want to go to spooky but I did have my eye on the bag of bones and the tombstones. Ultimately I decided on the Hairy Spider with LED Eyes – just the right amount of creepy for our doorstep.
The Realistic Sticky Brains would make a fun party favor but I have other plans for these. Stay tuned for an easy, fun craft tutorial!
What are your favorite Oriental Trading items for Halloween?
We received samples for consideration.
This is such a great idea. I love witches but I think my girls are in the whole frozen theme.
The brains look so real. I look forward to reading that craft tutorial. I would love to make some of these for the kids.
I haven’t shopped there before either, I love Hallowen and decorating for Halloween. So I am on my way to the website now to check it out see what deals I can grab.
I just did my son’s birthday party with Oriental Trading items. IT was a great time!
I’ve never shopped Oriental Trading Company for Halloween. I’ve actually never thought about it but now I will have to consider it for the home decor.
Oh my goodness the brains do look realistic. They remind me of a ‘haunted house’ our 5th grade classroom created, lolol I like Oriental Trading, they’ve got cute items.
I love Oriental Trading. They are like the one stop shop when it comes to parties for decorations. I remember shopping there for my son’s birthday party a few years ago.
It’s been years since I’ve ordered anything from Oriental Trading. I can’t believe that I totally forgot about them! Checking them out now (& probably taking a mini shopping spree, LOL).
We definitely buy from Oriental Trading when we need little things and party decor. They have the best prices if you don’t mind waiting on the shipping.
Over the years we’ve bought so much from Oriental Trading, but never Halloween items. No idea why, maybe cause we wait until the last minute.
