Trick or Treat

Halloween Treats

Some might think that Halloween is a celebration for kids—or grown-ups who like to don sexy maid outfits in public. But really, plenty of us are embracing the night as another excellent excuse to entertain, scrapbook, decorate, collect, and cook.

Listings on eBay for items with the term "Halloween" are up 28 percent in the past week vs. the prior week, and sales are up 26 percent in the same period. The numbers can only be expected to climb as October rolls along. Halloween Treats

From creepy rubber creatures to vintage Halloween ephemera, we found that eBay offers more than a few Halloween treats.

This guy is actually on trend, as anatomical models are all the rage in décor.


Bats are your friend; hang this one from your porch to set a spooky scene.


You might even be able to use this as a jewelry tree once the holiday passes.

 

Cupcakes are more fun than candy, especially with Halloween themed decorations.

 

Just the piece from which to serve your spooky baked goods.

 

T-shirts that say “Boo” in sequins are so last year. Opt for funky skull beads instead.

 

We know you’ll document the nigh—might as well do it up.  

 

We loved these as kids. Introduce your own tykes to the pleasures of Pez.

 

Vintage Halloween cards are almost as sweet as vintage Valentine’s.

 

One of our favorite books, after the other Halloween-ish themed tale of Willy Wonka.
