Halloween isn’t just about trick-or-treating—it’s also about honoring traditions. The PLAYMOBIL Día de los Muertos set is a colorful and festive way to celebrate loved ones. With a beautiful table decorated with fruit, the iconic orange cempasúchil flowers, and a framed photo, this set is a sweet nod to Día de los Muertos.

It comes with a figure, vase, bowl, and other little accessories that bring the display to life. For families who want to add a cultural touch to their Halloween celebrations, this is a beautiful and meaningful pick.

2. BIZYBOO Halloween Seek ‘N’ Find Busy Bags

If you’ve got little ones, you know how tricky it can be to keep them entertained during long car rides, trick-or-treat downtime, or even at parties. That’s where the BIZYBOO Halloween Seek ‘N’ Find Busy Bags come in.

Inspired by the award-winning toddler line, these busy bags get a spooky twist with characters like Giggly Ghost, Friendly Frankenstein, and Playful Pumpkin. Each soft, portable bag contains 30 Halloween-themed objects inside, ready for kids to find. They’re mess-free, screen-free, and perfect for keeping little hands busy while still being festive.

3. The Stack-O-Lantern

Pumpkin decorating can be fun, but let’s be real—it can also be messy. That’s why I love the Stack-O-Lantern kit from Hey Buddy Hey Pal. This Amazon favorite makes it so much easier to carve and stack pumpkins without the hassle of drills or glue.

The kit comes with special stackers and orange LED tea lights, so you can create a glowing pumpkin tower for your porch. With over 4 stars in reviews, this is a must-have for anyone who wants to take their Halloween décor up a notch without spending hours in pumpkin guts.

4. Costume Party Detective

Game night meets Halloween fun with Costume Party Detective from UltraPRO. This board game is all about mystery and disguise—everyone arrives in costume, hides their identity, and tries to outsmart the other players.

It comes with a gameboard, 20 character cards, 20 meeple figurines, a custom die, and a rule sheet. It’s family-friendly and a great way to keep the Halloween spirit alive after the trick-or-treating is over.

5. Sticki Rolls Creepies

For something quirky and collectible, the Sticki Rolls Creepies are a Halloween hit. Inspired by Japan’s kimo-kawaii trend (creepy-cute), these sticker rolls double as wearable bracelets.

They feature bold Halloween character art and fun accessories, making them a great treat alternative for older kids who may have outgrown the candy haul. Think of them as a mix of cute and spooky fashion that kids can trade, wear, and collect.

6. Camlinbo Four-Legged Dog Inflatable Costume

If your kids love costumes that stand out, the Camlinbo Four-Legged Dog Inflatable Costume is a hilarious choice. It comes with dual power options (batteries or USB power bank) so your child can stay puffed up for hours of fun.

This inflatable is lightweight, easy to wear, and guaranteed to get laughs at any Halloween gathering.

7. K-Pop Demon Hunter Costumes

For kids who love action and anime-inspired looks, the Zoey Hunter costume (and other variations like Mira and Rumi) are a cool alternative to the typical witch or vampire. Each set includes a sleeveless top and pants, creating a bold, demon-hunter vibe that’s perfect for imaginative play.

8. Alter Eco Chocolate Treats

More adults than ever are celebrating the spooky season with chic parties, themed gatherings, and elevated takes on the holiday’s sweetest tradition. Instead of handing out the usual sugary candy, Alter Eco is here to enchant grown-up ghouls and goblins with chocolate designed for a more refined palate.

Halloween isn’t just for kids—grown-ups deserve treats too! That’s where Alter Eco’s line of chocolate bars, truffle thins, and truffles come in. Made with clean, fair-trade ingredients and eco-friendly packaging, these chocolates let you indulge without guilt.

They’re rich, decadent, and perfect for that post-Halloween candy swap when parents sneak a little something for themselves.

9. 12FT Giant Halloween Inflatable Ghost

At 12 feet tall, it’s impossible to miss and creates a spooky yard spectacle that kids and adults alike will love.

10. Joiedomi 6FT Inflatable Pumpkins

For the tiniest trick-or-treaters, you can’t get much cuter than the Noah’s Ark Lion Cub Romper from Rubie’s. This cozy costume comes with a hood featuring a soft mane and floppy ears.

Available in newborn to toddler sizes, it’s warm, comfortable, and perfect for babies celebrating their first Halloween. Just remember to check the size chart carefully, as costume sizes run differently than everyday clothes.
