The gnomes are insanely cool! I love these little guys! I only wish we had a Halloween store, so I could see one in person  :)

You can shop on their online store, which has several items that you CANNOT buy at their shopping mall stores.

The Batman

These zombie arm lawn stakes are a steal for $6.99, as they are LIFE size.

Saw this at Home Depot!



It's pretty big and only $15, Michaels has the same type stones for $25 and up!  They didn't have any in stock though so I'll be checking back later.

Hepcat

But the word "Happy" on a gravestone?

:o
Collecting! It's what I do!

ZH- That's a good looking tombstone! Our Home Depot doesn't participate in Halloween merchandising- just Christmas decorations. We were coming back from a trip on Sunday, and I bought a heavy 2' tombstone (with glittered lettering -hahaha!) at a Ross store in Alabama. It was $11.99, and looks very durable.  Our Target stores are just starting to get their tables set up & our Walgreens stores are still peddling school supplies. I am dying to see some big ol' Halloween displays!   :)

Home Depot's used to have one endcap of Halloween stuff years ago but they haven't done it in years so you may want to check a location out!

When proceeded by word like Halloween, death, afterlife, haunting, resurrection, ever after then yes, I believe it is appropriate!

Nooooo! I'm trapped with no money when the Halloween season's started! That is exactly what I did not want to happen.  :-[

The one thing I have to get before they're all gone is the battery operated dancing zombie garden gnome, consarn it.

Torture.

No need to panic.

Ask for an early Christmas gift from the loved one of your choice or stand outside a sporting event with a bucket and a sign, you're a good artist .. I have faith in you.

Good Luck ...  :D

Hee hee, not bad suggestions.

I could make some sweet (and not very well done) monster paintings, hold a lighter under them, and say "Pay me or I BURN IT WITH FIRE!"

Not that I would actually follow through, of course.

My grown kids buy me things for the holidays that they get after Halloween.  A couple years ago I received a nice 4' plaster mummy that my son & daughter in law found in November. And my daughter bought me an awesome metal bat bowl last year- all wrapped up in snowflake wrapping paper   :)

Hmmmm.  The word HAPPY doesn't work for me displayed on that tombstone.

Had to run out to the mall today so I stopped by a few stores I normally don't get to; Big Lots, Kmart, Party City to name a few!  Wasn't really impressed with most of the Halloween stuff I saw but I did see these cool pot holders at Kmart:



I got 1 each of the matching dish towels which will serve as hand towels in the monster bathroom!  In case anyone is wondering, the pot holders are $1.99 and kitchen towels are $2.99!

Flower

Great deals ..  :D

I've seen some very cool dishtowels and potholders too but my current game plan (which has been known to change) is to try to catch stuff at the after Halloween sales.

I've picked up some cool window clings at Target for a dollar a pack.  I'll consider the more expensive Gel Gems (I haven't run across any yet) after Halloween.

Shopping is fun ..  ;D
