Our Favourite Halloween Shopping Ideas for 2019!
With autumn in full swing and Halloween just around the corner, take a look at three of our favourite Halloween shopping ideas for 2019!
Decorate your home in a classy way with these gorgeous Halloween plaques by Wooden Topz Gifts. Made with acrylic these would look fantastic with a tea light behind them for a spooky glow. They are 23cm x 23cm and come with a wooden block to make them freestanding.
These beautiful plaques can be personalised. Each plaque features the words “Halloween at the….” where you can add your family name. On selected designs, you can also add individual family members names!
To personalise with the names of several family members choose from skeletons, ghosts or black cats! These are amazing value at £14.95 each.
For a personalised family name plaque you can select from the following designs; Graveyard, Spiders Web or Bats. These cost £14.95 each.
Personalised freestanding Pumpkins are also available, made of 18mm thick MDF and an absolutely bargain at £5.
I was lucky enough to receive a personalised family plaque with three black cats on – one for Mummy, Daddy and Jamie. The cats are cute with a small one symbolising Jamie. The plaque is transparent except for the cat design and the detailing around the edges of cobwebs and bones. As someone who doesn’t like the garish décor mostly found at Halloween this is a lovely seasonal piece to display which won’t terrify the children! It is also a lovely keepsake which can be displayed year after year! Also, as it is made of acryclic if small hands do manage to pull it from where you display it, it won’t shatter like glass would.
Wooden Topz is a Yorkshire based business owned by Sarah. She handmakes all her items from her home studio and is lucky enough to work around her two young children. Sarah creates beautiful hand made gifts. You can check out Wooden Topz website and place orders here;

Spooky Halloween wear from Me and The Bea
Do you love dressing up your children in seasonal clothing? Instead of bulk made items from the High Street would you like your child to wear handmade clothes with gorgeous Halloween designs from a family business?
If yes, then home-based business, Me and the Bea, has created some beautiful Halloween inspired children’s clothing to make your child stand out from the crowd this Halloween.
Charlotte, the owner of Me and the Bea, creates handmade, beautiful clothes for girls aged 0 – 7 years from gorgeously soft, luxurious fabrics. Whilst Me and the Bea predominantly design clothes for girls, the jumpers can also be made for boys.
I absolutely adore this gorgeous little pinafore dress with a matching bow! I have a little boy myself, who I doubt would appreciate it being put in a dress, but I can just imagine how beautiful this will look on little girls with a warm roll neck jumper and some cute tights. Most amazing of all, Charlotte wants to create your vision so if you have an idea in mind then let her know and she will do her best to source the material to create that for you.
If a pinafore dress isn’t for you then why not opt for a jumper and legs with witchy designs on? The jumper is warm and snug and the leggings leave your child comfortable to play Witches and Wizards! The possibilities are endless for design with Me and the Bea and everything costs under £25.00.
