My favorite holiday is just around the corner… Halloween! Every year I see more and more retailers offering products that are reusable and natural instead of the disposable plastic Halloween junk at big box stores. This year has been no exception.
Of course my BEST tip for a green Halloween is to buy used. Thrift stores are packed this time of year with trick or treat baskets, Halloween decor, and second hand costumes. We use the same stuff again and again to decorate and celebrate Halloween and my kids usually wear the same costumes for 2+ years. Everything stays in good condition because we package everything carefully and store it in the garage each year.
In searching for a costume for my 4 year old this year… I went to Magic Cabin for ideas. Here are some of my fave picks:
The Countdown Calendar:
A wooden board calendar to help keep track of the days until spooky time!

Halloween is my favorite holiday also. It’s the one holiday where I always wish I’m still a kid. Thanks for the great tips. I definitely need to visit some thrift stores this year.
We need Halloween decorations and I hadn’t even thought about getting some at the thrift stores! Thanks!
Yes, buying a used costume is definitely the best way to stay “green” on Halloween. Those little plant critters are way too cute too, by the way.
Good advice all around.

What a great article. I love the idea of the Wax Candle Rolling Kit. Lately, I have been allowing my kids to have a Halloween party at the house because it keeps them in doors and out of trouble. The Wax Candle Rolling Kit is a perfect activity for my 12 year old daughter and her friends to make while at the party. Thanks for the great Halloween tips
Those candles are beautiful!!! WOW!! If only I was that talented!
You offer so many great tips. I’ve done all my holiday shopping from websites that you’ve recommended over the past year. Thanks so much.
