Top 10 Etsy Halloween Picks

Ghost and gobblins, tricks and treats, from kids to adults, everyone loves Halloween. I have always loved Halloween and still do! Etsy sellers offer a huge assortment of Halloween related items and I narrowed it down to my favorite 10. It was hard to choose with there being so many amazing things. Rather you're handing out candy, dressing up, horrifying your home, or having a party, there is something here for everyone!


This frightening wreath will be fabulous greeting little ghost at your door. I love how the tiny skulls are nestled upon shiny orange and black tinsel garland and the black bow ties it all together. From the Etsy shop of thechicadeeshop.



Someone show up to your fright night party without a costume? No worries, toss them a vintage mask and they're good to go. This is an awesome (and colorful) assortment of vintage Halloween masks from the Etsy shop of Plantdreaming.



Nothing says "ghost in the house" more than a Ouija board. This is the only real vintage Ouija board I could find on Etsy so grab it before it's gone and talk to those on the other side! From the Etsy shop of lookinglasshouse.



Whose fingers? I don't think we really need to know! If you've got dirty hands, clean them with these scarily fantastic finger soaps from the Etsy shop of ajsweetsoap. These would also make a great hostess gift or door prize!



I absolutely adore this pumpkin hat for any little one. Keep those little heads warm in this hat from KarlenKnits on Etsy. Grab your little one an orange sweat suit and voila, instant costume!



Don't these just look so tasty! Grab yourself a dozen of these Halloween inspired sugar cookies from the Etsy shop of TSCookies. You get two of each of these terrifyingly delicious cookies.



BOO! Sorry, I didn't mean to spook you. Place these fun and festive blocks on a shelve, mantel, or table and help your ghost get his words out! From the Etsy shop of YourCraftyFriends.



I bet those anxious little hands will think twice before grabbing candy from this gruesome bowl. Made to look like a jawbone this ceramic bowl looks amazingly life-like, especially the teeth! From the Etsy shop of MotherMacabre.



Creepy crawly and dangling from your ears, these silver spider earrings look as though they are spinning their webs right from your ears! From the Etsy shop of BeadsInTheBelfry.


Let the ghost know they're welcome at your home by hanging this cheesecloth banner that reads "GHOST". Your mind will have to wonder, is it the breeze blowing this in the wind or something more? You may never know! From the Etsy shop of funkyshique.


Items listed are in no certain order!

Holiday Decorating Must Have- Wreaths

Everyone's door is not complete during the holiday season (or any other season if you're like me) without a wreath. Wreath's can be simple, elegant, over the top, bright, shabby, cozy, furry, you get the point. This year I think I'm going to opt for an organza decorated wreath in lime green and red. I browsed Etsy and picked out some of my favorites to share with you all.
This beauty is from the shop of Etsy artist shakewilly. I think she did a (more than) fabulous job choosing the colors for this wreath. Each beautiful pastel ball sits so fitingly exactly in place as if Santa Claus himself put it there.


This elegant beauty is from the shop of Etsy artist slkbaxt64. This wreath is perfect if you love elegant things. It is decorated so lovely with the poinsettias, glistening fruit, and golden leaves. The bow is like the icing on the cake. Only it's not icing and this isn't a cake. :)



The minute I saw the picture of this wreath I fell in love. This is in the Etsy shop thegatherednest. I love the shabby cottage-ish feel of this wreath. The white wreath is something different that you probably won't see hanging on your neighbors door which is what makes this beauty so unique. Ohhh- and all proceeds of this goes to the adoption of 2 children.


Fit gor a king? Maybe, but it's more like knit for a queen. I absolutley love this wreath! Staright out of the Etsy shop of ragstorichesart, this wreath was made with the knitting queen in mind. The knitting needles (actually made from chopsticks) give this spectacular creation it's final touch.


Got a sweet tooth? Most of us do. This sugary gum drop delight is a part of the Etsy shop designcandie. The sugary coated sprakle of the gum drops remind me a of thin frost on a wintery morning. This is so uniuque. I'm speechless.



Upon finding this fabric covered wreath I have began to rethink my previous plan of having an organza wreath. This lovely whimsical wreath can be found in the Etsy shop of HollandFabricHouse. That sweet little birdie is just twirping my name. "Cassie, Cassie, tweet" Do you all hear it?




I hope you all enjoyed looking at these beautiful wreaths as I enjoyed searching for them. Now that you've got some ideas maybe you can decide on this years wreath. If you're not loving the wreath look try a holiday swag for your door. Swags are so similiar to wreaths and add as much or as little detail to your door as you would like.
