One of my favorite parts of Halloween is the nostalgic feeling that it brings. My family has always loved Halloween, especially my dad. And now I want to pass that along to my daughter. So, I wanted to share some nostalgic Halloween necessities. These are my without a doubt need to have items that brings back that childhood magic.
Spider Rings
The humble plastic spider ring inspired this post. We went to the courthouse the other day to handle some property business, and they gave my daughter a spider ring. Honestly, it made her day. I forgot how much joy a plastic ring could bring and it took me right back to the excitement of a simple Halloween.
Pilsbury Sugar Cookies
These cookies are non-negotiable. Artificial dye and everything. It’s a requirement and I don’t make the rules. I even have Halloween cookie inspired earrings.
Blow Molds
There’s something about the warm eerie light that comes from a blow mold that I just love. Especially a vintage blow mold. It just sets the right vibe for the season.
Candy Bags
Something about these treat bags made everything taste so much better. My aunt would pop popcorn and hand it out to trick or treaters and these bags were a necessity.
Halloween Stationary
Lastly, there was something about us 2000s kids that loved stationary. Halloween stickers were my favorite among pencils and erasers. One year I even got a Halloween stamp set in a goody bag.
So those were my nostalgic Halloween necessities. I’d love to hear yours in the comments.
