This is a post with my top 5 things to buy for Halloween. This is a yearly event on the 31st of October which celebrates all things spooky. I reckon with these 5 items you can’t go wrong. I have included options for people with and without children (example. +18s only events).
Pumpkin & spooky food
A Punkin and other spooky items such as apples are important things to buy over the Halloween period. It gets you in the right mood and atmosphere. All ages can enjoy bobbing for apples as a game or carving pumpkins with the kids. Don’t forget the Brain (fruit) Jelly and other things that are in shops specifically for scaring friends & family.
Spooky Outfit
Without an outfit on Halloween, you are ruining the mood of the evening. Even if you are not trick or treating it is an essential idea to dress up as when the children come knocking your door they will have a surprise and gives them more to enjoy when you are in character. You have so many outfits from the tradition witches (for females) and many other choices from films like Ghostbusters & Beetlejuice.
Horror movies or Netflix films
If you are planning on staying in over Halloween, I would recommend you buy, rent a few horror movies or go on your TV planner and see what films are on to watch. This gives the Halloween vibes whilst staying at home. You can enjoy this with friends or a young family.
Spooky Alcohol (Adults only)
I think as adults we have all heard of alcoholic jelly. This would be perfect for an 18s+ party. it is still in the spirit of Halloween with spooky music & spooky shots of brains & blood. It brings the holiday spirit to those who as adults may not have had before or because they might not have kids. if you don’t have children, even if you do a party on the weekend with friends would be an awesome way to enjoy the holidays. Don’t get too drunk by having too many bloody marys or spooky shots though!
Lots & Lots of Sweets (for kids!)
What would Halloween be without SWEETS? This is essential as the whole idea of Halloween is to impress the children with outfits and going trick-or-treating for an hour. If children turn up at your door you want to be armed with lots of sweets for them to grab (politely) as they will most likely be expecting them when you answer.
What are your top things for Halloween? Are you expecting to be at an over 18s event or will you be with the kids hustling early at night for candy? Do you have anything I’ve missed in this list? Let me know in the comments
I love going to costa when the weather changes, nothing says Fall like a hot chocolate or coffee (latte, size; medium). The store is always decorated lovely &
This is a winter Staple for most people. I find in the winter I just want to curl up with a nice hot chocolate, watch some TV or read a good book. Hot Chocolate gives me the image of a person curled up in a baggy winter knit clutching a mug smiling. There is a particular brand I use but there are many out there to choose from, so please try a few different choices before you pick your new favourite.
This is the ultimate Winter meal that is currently (2018) available at your local Wetherspoons, in Wales (UK). It is on the speciality menu for Wales, celebrating Welsh Local Produce. I myself have tried this particular dish on a hot summer day but it is perfect for a Winter dish. It is effectively a lamb & vegetable soup. I find it gorgeous tasting & very rich in flavour. I recommend this dish to anyone visiting Wales in the winter to try it out. Honestly, you won’t regret it, I promise.
