And I thought this would be a perfect addition to the list of items I’ve purchased. And sure enough, it is so pretty and holds plenty of items. Would 300% recommend it for you or for a gift! It’s quite sturdy, and was definitely worth the money.”

These Torch Lights are Solar Powered
Placing these lights around your lawn will give the look of flaming torches without the danger.
The reviews say: “These arrived fully charged and stayed lit the entire night from dusk to dawn. The product images do not show all four sides of the torch design, so be assured, two sides do have the swirled design to help make a flame effect. The light itself does not swirl, it flickers like flameless candles behind the black housing. But, the amber light effect is very nice.”

This set of ghosts, pumpkins, and scary gravestones can transform your lawn for Halloween in a fairly low-effort way.
The reviews say: “Absolutely love these blowups for decorating for Halloween. The inflatables are so easy right out of the box plug it in and it’s up within minutes.

Love the day light up and blow up and are so easy to do. Literally, just plug them in and you’re done.”

This Black Crystal Ball is Truly Terrifying
If you’re not into the more obvious Halloween decor, this spooky black crystal ball might be the answer for you.
The reviews say: “Beautiful, no flaws and a great stand. Couldn’t have been any better. Comes with a packing box, Very happy, thanks.”
These Cartoon Candles Really Flicker
This set of 3 comprises different patterns that can be placed around your home for maximum Halloween spirit.
The reviews say: “I love these! They are so beautiful. They are lovely with or without the light on, covered in glitter, and the perfect addition to my Christmas decor. I got the ivory trees. You can have each tree cycle through all of the colors separately or together or have them on one color. You can turn them on from the base then on and off with the remote. You can also set a timer.

This Owl Statue Has Amazing Reviews
This little cutie can be placed inside or outside to add a sweet Halloween vibe to your home, without the blood and gore.
The reviews say: “Very adorable and well made. I especially like the owls’ eyes and the design on the body of the owls.

The reviews say: “We used this in a black plastic bowl and put a small dish on the bottom of the bowl to put it at the correct water depth to make the mist.
