1. Happy Halloween with Bat Ornament ~ $26 from Swirly Designs
This adorable handmade polymer clay Halloween ornament is a great choice for ornament collectors. The main part of the ornament features a cute striped pumpkin, glittery flying bats and the message "Happy Halloween." Dangling beneath the ornament is another little bat.
2. Halloween Button Tree with Crow ~ $22 from RBK Creations
Trees aren't just for Christmas anymore, and this button tree is a really unique addition to your Halloween decor. Yellow, orange, purple and black buttons, along with little spiders, cover the tree. Faux cobwebs decorate the tree like garland, and a black crow sits at the top.
3. Gothic Witch Spell Dollhouse Miniature Hutch ~ $35 from MidnightsDreams
Think of this mini hutch like a witch's pantry. It measures about 4 inches by 6 inches and is filled with tiny spell books, bottles, crystals, scrolls, skulls and flowers - everything a proper witch needs to bewitch and bewilder. Imagine how cute this gothic witch's hutch would look on a mantel or bookshelf!
4. Ghost Glass Dish ~ $16 from BPR Designs
This multi-purpose fused glass dish is black with a spooky white ghost floating in the center. The dish is about 5 inches square and is food safe, making it great for Halloween treats or just for decoration.
5. Sugar Skull Ornament ~ $12 from Miss Butler's Shop
The Day of the Dead just isn't complete without Mexican Sugar Skulls. This pair of soft, handmade sugar skull ornaments has festive glittery gold highlights. Each ornament is backed with black cotton fabric and polka dots to match the colors of the skulls and hangs from a black ric-rac loop.
6. Halloween Quilted Ornament Ball ~ $15 from Custom Zombie
Here's another charming ornament that plays off the festive Halloween shades of orange, purple and black. This handcrafted quilted ball is wrapped with a green striped ribbon, along with thin orange and purple ribbons in the bow. Purple metal studs accent the center of each side, and a grinning jack-o-lantern charm perches at the top. The ornament is about 3 inches in diameter.
7. Frankenstein Pillow Monster ~ $50 from Handmade3D
He's alive! In his latest incarnation, Frankenstein is a pillow monster, crafted from blizzard fleece and felt. He measures about 12 inches by 16 inches and comes with a single removable flower. Stitching across his forehead keeps his polyfill "brains" where they belong!
8. Ghost Soap ~ $5 from Just Bubbly
You can even deck out the bathrooms for Halloween with this spooky glycerin ghost soap. Each soap is 4 ounces and hypoallergenic; they're fragranced with their own "Trick or Treat" scent. Don't miss the pumpkin soap, either!
9. Queen of Ghost Paper Sculpture ~ $25 from Huckleberry Arts
This regal and ghostly one-of-a-kind sculpture is made completely from recycled handmade paper. The Queen stands about 8 inches tall and is painted with acrylics and gold leaf. She is also signed and dated - a unique, collectible piece of art.
10. Vampire Seduction Soy Massage Candle ~ $15 from Chicken Scratch Bath & Body
Unlike the bloodsucker it's named after, this massage candle is vegan! With the fragrance blend of cinnamon, musk and sweet woodsmoke, and a deep red hue, the melted candle can be used as massage wax. Just burn the candle for half an hour, blow out the flame and pour a little of the melted wax into your palm. Then just massage your troubles away.
11. 10 Pumpkin LED Light Set ~ $19.99 from Bronner's Christmas Wonderland
Ten 2.5-inch tall plastic jack-o-lantern lights hang from 11 feet of black cord (8.5 feet lighted). The LED lights inside the pumpkins change from green to red and will last 100 hours; they can be used inside or outside to decorate for Halloween!
12. Halloween Mo ~ $55 from Swarovski
For Swarovski collectors, this year's limited edition member of The Lovlots collection is a real treat. Halloween Mo is an adorable little devil with a Red Topaz crystal body and Jet crystal horns. She'll be available for a limited time starting September 28, 2009.
13. A Little Spooky ~ $59 from Susan Najarian Art & Design
Using the unique and unusual encaustic painting technique, the artist has created a mixed media piece with gothic flair. With vintage papers as the foundation, the artist built upon the work with black encaustic wax and buttons, resulting in a ready-to-hang piece of art. It's painted on a solid piece of wood and measures about 8 inches by 10 inches (1/2-inch deep).
14. Gray Spooky Ghost ~ $17 from Luminous Dream Designs
This ghostly specter is an original work of art that's been accented digitally. The 8x10 art print features a ghost among the trees; shown here, it has a gray background, but the print is also available with a purple or orange background.
15. Dracula's School Portrait ~ $100 from hearts and laserbeams
Ah, the good old days - back before the Count earned himself a nasty rep. This original acrylic painting is on an 11x14 oval canvas and is also available as an archival print. It's hard not to fall in love with young Drac's toothy, winsome grin. Be sure to check out his buddy Frankenstein's portrait, too.
16. Slappy and Boo! PakNak Charms ~ $3.99 each from PakNak
PakNak is a mom-owned business that created these unique decorative charms to let kids express themselves in a snap. PakNaks are soft, rubbery 3D decorations with super-sturdy customized velcro attachments. That means kids can attach them to virtually anything, anytime.
