Thread: Halloween items still on sale after Xmas

Tweet

I've noticed a few online places that have some halloween items on sale right now after Xmas. I'm posting links to the main page for your convenience, do a search by "Halloween" once there.

Terry's Village is one online store. They are an affiliated company with Oriental Trading I believe since they seem to carry many of the same items (and with the same Item no., sometimes the prices vary between placed depending on the sales). I figured I could use more bats in my bat cave, so I decided to order a few of the cheesy sets of 3 fabric Hanging Bats for $3.99 each and will trick them out like Yubney did (I remember seeing a pic of his final bat project and was impressed, so save a pic of it; but boy was it hard to relocate the post here since the photo of the bat was a link to an album photo of his--I'll make it easy for you guys: Your worse Halloween decoration you ever bought. And BE SURE to check out the previous pictures to this photo in his album to see the Bat with LEDs inserted for the eyes!! He also did a mini tutorial of photo steps there. Not to be missed....Heck, check out the whole album while you are there--some great projects). I thought the bat looked great, and hope mine turns out as well. Figured some of you might be looking for a simple decor/prop project to do and might like this one too. BTW OT doesn't carry the bats any longer.

HSN has a few interesting items left. Their Skeleton Baseball Vendor is now on clearance for $39.95. Very similar to the Walmart version sold two years ago. They have a video of it in action if you are curious. BTW before ordering from HSN on items that came from GrandinRoad, check out the GrandinRoad site for the same item. For example, the GID Wall mural shown on their site is only $29 if you go directly to GrandinRoad for it. Noticed that the creepy window panels and valances, 58-inch black frocked doorway tree is also cheaper on the GR site.

Speaking of GrandinRoad, I bought the tabletop motorized dancing witch's broom from them when it went on sale after halloween (a few dollars less now I think) and it's pretty nice, $7 now. Works well and does avoid falling off the table top. I'm going to use it on my witch's table display I think, something for the younger kids. GR has a number of other items and costumes and Martha Stewart items on clearance still. They have a 58-inch black frocked doorway tree for $29 (full price still on HSN). Their sister site Frontgate is pretty much cleared out of halloween. BTW GrandinRoad has a 3-day outlet sale going on thru 12/28. I posted the promotional code under the "Coupons, Discounts and Promotions" section of the forum, use for an additional 25% off of the outlet reduced price. Enter the code during checkout. BTW that makes the tabletop witch's broom only $5.25. Not bad.

GrandinRoad has some of the Martha Stewart paper punches listed, but if you are looking for the spider web straight line and the spider web corner punch, ABC Distributors (also LTD Commodities, their sister site) has them back in stock right now and less than in the stores I've been in. I keep checking their sites to see if they get the Christmas Tree FX box back in stock but so far not (had it on order when it was a weekly special deal around Thanksgiving but they ran out of stock and cancelled my order). Hopefully persistence will pay off one day.

Any one else with sales to post?

I work at Kroger, and they're still trying to get rid of our Halloween stock. There's not that much; most of it was donated to charity. But there's some.

Tuesday Morning has Halloween costumes and some small decor items on clearance. I picked up a nice witch's costume that fits one of my mannequin girls for $6 NIP. They had several other adult costumes for $10 each that tempted me but I am trying to be good. Santa found a very nice metal tabletop cross for $3 that he gave to me.

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought the skeleton baseball vendor.

there's some items i want to grab. thanks ghost of spookie

OHHHH. I am in need like witches theme for 2011.

Does anyone reading this happen to have the HSN skeleton vendor? How is he as just a nice skele, and how easily could he be re-dressed?

Thanks for the heads up I used some Martha party invites last year and it made everyone feel super special.

I just received the GrandinRoad Martha Stewart pumpkin shaped beverage tub that was delivered by UPS, bought it during the outlet sale, and wow is it nice. Did anyone else order it? I never would have spent the original $89 they were asking, although I liked the look of it. At the last minute I decided to get it during the sale ($21.75). It's really thick-walled and extremely light weight. Very nice quality and finish too. I was a bit leery that it might not be large enough to put lots of ice in and beverages but its quite ample. I liked that it's water tight and won't ever rust and being an insulating material should keep the ice and bottles cold. Best of all it really looks like a beautiful pumpkin. I have to admit I have seldom if ever been disappointed in Martha Stewart's products or quality.

The pumpkin comes shipped in a very sturdy box with specially shaped white foam to keep it positioned from box damage. It's quite a big box and storage is probably the biggest issue....hey, we haunters have plenty of extra storage right!!....anyway while it might be kind of limited in use (probably just during the fall season, halloween and thanksgiving get togethers), it's special looking enough to make it stand out as a server. I figure you could use it as a giant candy server (maybe fill it halfway up with stuffing material), the beverage server it was designed for, a large mister container maybe (since it holds water)--I'd keep anything of heat away from the edges however, kids could bob for apples in it, add some cool-to-the-touch LED lighting inside of it. I can see it set up on a table with other Funkin pumpkins along the sides of it for a nice table spread.

Saw in the "Coupon, Discounts" section that Halloween Asylum has a 60% off everything/75% off clearance items sale going on through the end of the day today.

Just thought I'd add that if you are doing a clown/carnival theme, the Killjoy Clown Costume on clearance is really nice quality material--bought it from them this year. Just ordered Carver the Killer Clown costume, which I have been eyeing for 2 years now, and the Biohazard Collector costume. Both will fill in spots I needed for props in a few scenes. Thanks HA.



I also added some additional halloween costume/clearance sales info under the "Coupon, Discounts" area for Costume Express and BuyCostumes. These also end tonight at 11:59pm CST with the exception of Costume Express which has extended their "general clearance" sale until 1/6.


See the Coupon, Discounts area for more details on the above.
