Better yet, it's made with 95% skincare ingredients to help nourish your lips and support their moisture barrier. 

Promising review: "Gorgeous plummy color and hydrating. The staying power is somewhat decent (2–3 hours); the glitter goes on smooth and is not gritty in texture. Definitely very buildable when it comes to color as well. Love the packaging, especially the donut applicator." —R.A.

Ginger, herbs, nuts, and spices are fair game too, so this little bloodsucker earns his counter space beyond the novelty factor. Consider it proof that even meal prep can have a goth phase. 

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Two bonus pages of vintage-inspired puffy stickers sweeten the deal. 

Get a book of 60+ stickers from Brass Monkey for $9.

Paranormal investigator and "Kindred Spirits" podcast co-host Amy Bruni fills each stop with vintage photos, ghost stories, historical tidbits, and atmospheric food photography, so it’s equally fun to read curled up on the couch as it is to actually cook from. 

I own this cookbook, among several others, and have yet to cook using any of them. It has nothing to do with the medium and all to do with me being lazy. BUT the stories behind these recipes are so interesting; I've read it as much for the ~literature~ as for the recipes.

Promising review: "This cookbook is a unique and delightful treasure! This book seamlessly weaves together spine-tingling tales from America’s most haunted locations with mouthwatering recipes inspired by their storied pasts. The writing is engaging, offering just the right amount of spooky charm, while the recipes are easy to follow and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal enthusiast, or just someone who loves good food, this book delivers on every front. It’s perfect for dinner parties with a twist or cozy nights in with a hauntingly good meal. Highly recommended!" —Larry Flaxman

Promising review: "I bought this book as a gift for a friend who is both a Vegan AND a horror fan. I flipped through the book and, although I'm not Vegan, plan to buy another copy for myself! The food looks great, the ingredients do not look too obscure, and the steps look fairly easy. Great pictures accompany very punny recipes. My friend already made one of the recipes and gave it two thumbs way up!" —Dan

An accompanying guidebook helps connect each writer’s defining qualities.

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous, lyrical and meaningful, artistically stunning. Beautifully boxed, guide contains basically three words about each woman or thematic card, and biography of each author (same one featured in the book). A bit general of an explanation of each card, could've used more on its own, but obv recommend getting the book too. The book is beautifully written, intuitive and artful, really a deeper and more inspiring experience that can give you more information for a reading using these cards, or just a greater understanding of these amazing women and their work. The keywords of the author cards included in this decks booklet give a general idea, but obv the more you know the authors and their work, the more you'll be able to take from using this as an oracle or divination deck. You'll need and want to read a lot, before or after using this deck!" —Kat

The decals are designed to be easy to apply, durable, and gentle on nails, and they can be sealed in for extra staying power. When you’re over the look, they come off easily.

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE SO MUCH! I got so many complements and they are so easy to use compared to other nail stickers I’ve tried." —Sierra Henson

Get it from Amazon for $12. The brand offers different themes of stickers under the same listing!

Get it from Shrimps Stickers on Etsy for $16.99+ (available in black, gold, and silver chains, with or without a matching grip, and with 4–8 charms).

Promising review: "The dress is so soft, and the material is comfortable for the summer. Beautiful design. Great quality." —Leticia

The book teaches tapestry crochet with easy-to-follow charts and row-by-row lists, including spaces to check off your progress as you go. All the designs use the same hook size and just five yarn colors, keeping the setup simple enough to focus on watching the creepy images materialize one row at a time.

Promising review: "Whether you’ve been wanting to learn crochet tapestry or you’re a seasoned pro, this book is the answer! It’s so well written and designed, easy for artist of all levels! I really appreciate all the attention to detail included in this book, you can tell alot of hard work went into making this book perfect.

Promising review: "Could this be any cuter? I hung these crochet Halloween charms on my rearview mirror and now my car is in full spooky mode!! 🕸️✨ The little ghost in a purple witch hat is giving sweet-not-scary 💜👻 and the pumpkin is the perfect pop of orange for fall!! 🍂🎃 They're really well made, soft but sturdy, with great detail and zero weird smells. The size is small enough to not block your view while driving but big enough to be noticed (and complimented... a lot). I've already had two people ask me where I got them. And can we talk about the vibes? They just make me smile every time I get in the car. Like a little Halloween cheer on a string. Cute, cozy, and festive. Would 100% buy again" —Jen Reviews

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two styles, plus a single mini grim reaper).

The reusable silicone infuser offers an eco-friendlier alternative to disposable tea bags and is easy to clean with either a quick rinse or a trip through the dishwasher. 

Promising review: "Let me just say it: This little Grim Reaper is the grim MVP of my kitchen. I bought the 'Grim Steeper' on a whim because who doesn’t want their tea steeped by the literal embodiment of death, right? Well, color me pleasantly surprised — this thing is not just hilarious, it’s also shockingly functional. First off: The silicone is high quality. Flexible, durable, and oddly huggable (if death ever needed a hug). The lid stays on tight so your loose tea doesn’t escape and ruin your vibe. The holes are perfect — not so big your leaves float out like rebellious spirits, and not so small it doesn’t steep properly. This baby knows its job and does it with sinister precision. And let’s talk about the aesthetic. I dropped him into my glass tea carafe and my boyfriend burst out laughing. There he was — my little skeletal friend just chillin’ at the bottom like he’s contemplating the meaning of life while steeping a solid cup of black tea. It’s giving gothic tea party, it’s giving adorably macabre, it’s giving 'till death do us steep.' If you drink tea and have even the slightest sense of humor (or a taste for the dark side), do yourself a favor and let the Grim Steeper haunt your mug. You’ll be dying for another cup." —Batwoman

Promising review: "Helps me smile as I sit here at my miserable office job with ugly, boring yellow wall color, truly staring into the nothing...then...I look down at this little dude, and he reminds me that life goes on, to stay positive and know I'll be ok." —Jenny

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 19 themes).

Promising review: "Love the design, I have dropped my phone many times with it having a screen protector and the case hasn’t had a dent or anything!! Great protection and easy to install!! P.S It is GREAT if you’re a cat lover, definitely worth the money 🖤" —Makayla Hatcher

Since it's rechargeable, you can easily take it with you wherever you go, and the gentle glow is pleasantly non-intrusive. I absolutely love it and would definitely buy it again or consider giving it as a gift! It is also crafted from a soft plastic, so you don’t need to worry about it taking a tumble. This feature is especially great if you have little ones or pets around!" —Bryce
