Spooky-Cute Gifts for Halloween Lovers
Rx: For the friend who decorates in September
These are for the friend who puts up Halloween decorations in September and leaves a few out all year. A vampire crushes the garlic, the Grim Reaper steeps the tea and a little ghost glows on the desk. They're spooky enough for October and cute enough to keep using in March.
