Halloween is just a day away, and with it comes the dilemma: what to gift your friends, family or that secret someone who loves all things spooky? Bring out the mischievous person in you and pick flickering pumpkin lanterns, trick-or-treat hampers brimming with chocolate, and decorations that might just make them jump when they least expect it.
Gifting for Halloween was once a tricky affair. Too spooky, and it would terrify; too mundane, and the charm was lost. That’s not true today. These days you can find a variety of options that are playful, quirky, and downright memorable.
To start with, if there’s one thing that 2025’s Halloween scene has taught us, it’s that personalisation rules the roost. Magic mugs that reveal a hidden message, cushions embroidered with spooky spells, and fridge magnets that carry your own cheeky message, these aren’t just gifts, they’re tiny pieces of storytelling.

And let’s not forget ambience – because Halloween is as much about setting the mood as it is about giving. String lights in pumpkin shapes, USB night lamps that glow with a friendly flicker, and outdoor lanterns that beckon trick-or-treaters to your porch all add an extra layer of magic.
