A candle all by itself is a sad candle, although that’s how most of my candles usually burn. Help somebody throw in a little Halloween spirit with the dancing ghost candle holder. The ghosts are ceramic, a few inches tall, about five inches across.
Now, when I found this product, being a guy, I didn’t even realize that the candle and pillar were separate. Luckily I realized they were separate while I was writing this little thing up. So without further ado, you’ll find the awesome black Boo candles in the link below:
Halloween “Boo!” Inlaid Pillar Candle
So there you have that. The candles come in two sizes. One is four inches tall, the other is six inches tall. The extra 50% only costs a couple bucks more and has bigger letters, so I think the choice is obvious. They’re both three inches wide and will fit nicely in the unique candle holder right there in the picture! Oh, I almost forgot the very best part. The candles have a soft pumpkin spice scent. That’s possibly the best part about Halloween…the smells of the treats.

I believe this is the first sign post here on The Gift Idea Blog. I’m glad the first was able to be one with the Grim Reaper. This is a pretty quality sign. It’s to the good ol’ Reaper clinging to a Happy Halloween sign.
It’s made of foam, so it’s nice and light weight. It comes with a nylon string already attached for easy hanging. Like many things I talk about on here, it’s nice and simple, no gimmicks. As long as gravity remains intact, this Happy Halloween sign will work perfectly.

Here’s another little Halloween decoration. You can get it with or without the cookies. I’d certainly suggest getting it with the cookies. Well, they’re actually called Nibblers, which makes them sound better for some reason.
The cookies have no preservatives, so they’re shipped quickly and packaged in the best way to keep the freshness…fresh. The bowl is ceramic and measures 8″ in diameter. It beats out a big plastic bowl for handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. So it’s a great gift that will show up once a year even if the cookies only last a day. The Mrs. Fields site suggests to eat the cookies the day they arrive, so forget that diet!

Since Vapoorize (from the movie Envy, which was terribly under rated) is fictional meaning there is no way to spray poo and make it magically vaporize, here’s a pretty good option. If you’re like me, picking up some dog droppings with just a plastic baggy protecting your hand is still pretty unsettling. The Swoop is for people like me who would prefer to clean up after their dog without ever coming into any kind of contact with the fecal remnants.
See, how it works is, you pop the cap off of the bottom, put one of the plastic baggies over the end, then push the top part down and out comes the yellow claws. They will expand the bag, and as you pull the top part back up, the claws close up around the mess, collecting it into the bag and storing it until you can deposit the mess in a rubbish bin (I like how people outside the USA call it a rubbish bin). I’m not exactly sure of the minute details of it, but it seems like a pretty good idea. It kind of looks like a thermos or something, it may strike up some good conversation with fellow dog walkers.

These elegant hand blown glass angels come in sets of three in their own worry box. A worry box is something that you use to make a wish come true. You write down a wish on a piece of paper, put it in the box, and it gets delivered to the heavens, according to the site linked to here.
The glass angels are graced with 22-carat gold on their wings, halos, and possessions. Five colors are available. Each box is a certain color with three matching angels inside. The boxes have a nice little poem about the angels written on the inside of the lid. Quite the fancy little elegant gift idea I must say.

The world is a violent place. It’s time to fight back. What could be more damaging emotionally than any physical bullet? How about being hit by a nice, soft marshmallow? Okay, maybe it won’t do one bit of damage, but that’s why it’s so much fun!
Office habitants can protect their cubicle with this marshmallow blaster. Or maybe when it’s time for hot chocolate around the campfire, the wielder of the gun can bring white fluffy joy to the mugs of chocolaty goodness! I think I’d see how far away me and a friend could be and still catch the fired marshmallows with our mouths. Always a worthy challenge. ThinkGeek was also kind enough to offer their own marshmallow ammunition.

Here’s another BlueQ product. Moist Gnome Lip Balm. Who doesn’t love a moist gnome, especially one that belongs on your lips? That sounds a little dirty.
Not only is this awesome because it’s based on a garden gnome looking little dude, it’s pretty quality stuff. It’s made from beeswax, has an SPF of 18, has a green tea flavor, and also includes Clary Sage and Rosemary. I’m not much of an expert in the herbal realm, but that all sounds like good stuff. I’ve linked to the product at Amazon, because it’s actually a buck cheaper there, how bout that?

Earlier I posted a gift idea that will bring the night sky inside. Here is another one that allows something from the outside world to come inside the house. A tree…kind of.
The Lumen Oil Lamp is just what it says it is, an oil lamp. What makes this one special is that it comes with a stainless steel tree shape as part of the lamp. What effect this creates, as you can see in that there picture, is the silhouette of a tree projected onto the a wall of a house. Of course, it could be projected onto anything else you choose, but I suppose the wall would get it to show up the clearest.
There are four different tree silhouettes to choose from: pine, cedar, magnolia, or one with birds in their nests. I think the pictures kind of make it look creepy. Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like a background out of some bizarre horror flick. Maybe if it’s accompanied by soothing music it will be more relaxing than scary.
Plant a tree on the wall here.
I’ve always had a hard time keeping fish alive in aquariums. It doesn’t matter what type of fish, or what type of aquarium, I just know they aren’t going to last. This seems like a pretty good aquarium for somebody like me. I’m also pretty sure that jellyfish aren’t exactly something you can buy at the pet store and keep alive with jellyfish food, whatever that may be.
This aquarium has multi-colored LEDs to light up three little jellyfish made of silicone. That means I wouldn’t have to worry about maintaining their life! The jellyfish are constructed with the silicone to allow them to move around just like living jellyfish. There are 12 color settings. The movement of the jellyfish, or I guess jellyfishes, would be very soothing to observe.
Now, this is so cutting-edge, that the product is only available in Japan. That’s where the internet comes in handy. Us Americans can order it and they’ll ship a voltage converting along with it for no extra charge. So when you give it as a gift (or keep it for yourself), make sure you have that part handy.

You’re outside in the cold, knocking on your friends’ door. They let you in, ahhh, that warmth feels nice. So you remove your coat. Now where to put it? If only it were as easy as looking around on the walls and seeing a big red arrow to show the way. Well, now that dream can become a reality!
Imagine a pair or threesome of arrows pointing to the wall, just being there on the wall. The arrows are designed in a way to where no hanging apparatus is visible. They are available in red, charcoal, and white. The angle of the Here Hook (which is very aptly named) is less than 90 degrees, so a hung coat will remain hung, instead of on the floor. Each comes with the necessary hanging hardware.
Hang that stuff right here.
