One of the best times to throw a party is around the corner: Halloween! Whether you want to have a huge party and invite everyone you know or just spend a casually creepy evening with your close friends, we know it can be challenging to construct the right eerie atmosphere on a budget. But fear not, we can tell you where to buy party favors online that will create a memorable Halloween party without costing you scary amounts of money.

Let There Be Cookies (With Jell-O Shots)!

Any host or hostess knows you need good snacks to keep the party people going past the pumpkin hour. Instead of getting expensive baked goods that might not be half as good as they look, how about you make your own creepy cookies? Baking cookies doesn’t require Master Chef skills or expensive ingredients, so it’s a great option for a budget Halloween. And if you thought cookies can’t be frighteningly cute, you need to check out the Mini Cookie Cutter Halloween Set. With it, you can turn almost anything, from cheese and Jell-O shots to chocolate and miniature sandwiches, into bats, cats, owls, moons, pumpkins and flying witches. (The mini ghosts are made from upside down mini tulip cutters found in our Easter or spring collection!).  Or, if you want to take it a step further, you can get the Skull Cakelet Pan that will let you make your own scary skull-shaped cakes.

Atmosphere Lighting

Candles! As far as lighting a Halloween party goes, is there any other way? Creating the right mood for Halloween is all about darkness, shadows and flickering flames. And the kinds of candles you use matters, too. That’s why we made sure to have a wide selection of the best Halloween party favors, ranging from different kinds of skull candles to bat, owl, spider and black crow tea candle holders, as well as tea light candles in orange and black. They’re inexpensive, so you can afford to go all out and make sure your Halloween party gets the setting it deserves.

Accessories  

Not even a Halloween party is complete without the right accessories. Just think how spooked your guests will be when they run into bat magnets or spider magnetic scatters in the most unexpected places. You can also enhance the party mood with the Halloween Mini Stamp Set that’ll allow you to set the mood in advance with appropriately scary invitations. You can also use it to decorate pictures, notes and other nightmarish Halloween art you want your guests to be frightened by.

Sound Effects

And the Oscar for best sound goes to…. For a full audiovisual Halloween party experience you’ve got to try our Legend of Sleepy Hollow Mini Kit With Sound. It’ll haunt your guests with a rendition of “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” all night long. You can even hide the headless horseman figure in surprising places just to freak out your guests. And the figure also comes with a storybook of the Sleepy Hollow legend that you and your guests can frighten each other with.
