Tarot Plates, Snake Pillows, and More Halloween Stuff on Sale Now
In this article
A real Halloween Head knows the best shopping gets done in July (when everything’s full-price and in stock), but — and it’s a big but — if you wait long enough, you can get Halloween stuff on sale before Halloween actually arrives. As one of the Strategist’s resident Halloween Heads (I hunted for dupes of Home Depot’s giant skeleton one year and help with our pop-culture-themed costume guide every year), I went digging for all the best Halloween stuff on sale right now. I went to the haunts frequented by those who are really into Halloween, including Pottery Barn (and its sister sites, West Elm and Crate & Barrel), Anthropologie, and Balsam Hill (it doesn’t only make artificial Christmas trees). I found everything from a cauldron candle that smells of rosemary and bergamot and an anatomically correct terra-cotta skeleton for your living room to a glow-in-the-dark doormat and light-up cobwebs for your front yard.
