Halloween // Suggestions for Halloween / Autumnal Gift Bag?

For the past few years, myself and a fellow Halloween loving friend have had a little tradition of exchanging gifts for the season. Not quite full on Christmas presents; we usually put together a little goodie bag of Halloween trinkets like the small decorations and paraphernalia, a food item or two, a little candle, etc.

This year I've decided to go a little fancier and assemble a sort of Halloween selfcare package type gift bag, due to the ongoing stresses of Covid and related issues, things she can use to have a nice, relaxing Halloween themed evening at home. I thought I'd reach out for some suggestions as to what I could add. Thus far I've got:

  • A (actually rather classy looking) stemless wine glass with a gold Jack O' Lantern face

  • A Sand + Fog 'Pumpkin Harvest' scented candle in a jar that's her favourite colour (purple)

  • A small homemade jar of Pumpkin Spice

  • (Planning on getting) A copy of "Llewellyn's Little Book of Halloween"

It's fairly early days yet, but I like to be organised early. I'm planning on getting at least one food treat - this year I'm thinking of ordering a couple of things from an American Candy online store which I've been meaning to try for ages, if they have anything seasonal - and am hoping somewhere on this side of the pond will stock a Pumpkin Spice-y beverage, like a flavoured cider or something (to go in the glass haha).

"This side of the pond" is the UK, and although Halloween has definitely become more mainstream over the last five or ten years, we still don't go quite as Pumpkin Spice Everything crazy so it's not as easy to get a bunch of different products for the most spooky time of the year; I know there are a lot of American Redditors so thought it best to mention.

Any and all suggestions welcome!
