2019 Halloween Merchandise Review: Walgreens

I don’t typically go to Walgreens on a regular basis, but I always make an exception when it’s time for the spooky stuff. You can find some really cool items.

So let’s get into their selection:

My local stores usually only have one aisle of decorations and costumes plus one aisle for candy. So that being said, their selection isn’t huge. I was pretty impressed with their little Day of the Dead section (the bride and groom were pretty cute), and they have a good selection of affordable masks if you’re looking to make an easy costume.

But what were my favorite things?

Favorite Finds at Walgreens

  1. Spell Bottles: I always like spell bottles, and I thought these were especially cool with the toppers added. I’m going to be using these as inspiration for some I’m making this year.
  2. The Nightmare Before Christmas Hangers: I’ve seen Jack everywhere, but it’s Jack. I love him. And I loved that they have an Oogie Boogie version because usually, you only see Sally accompanying the Pumpkin King.
  3. Baby Alligator Skeleton: I love all the little animal skeletons, and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else selling a baby alligator. He’s pretty cool.
  4. See/Hear/Speak No Evil Skulls: I have a set of see/hear/speak no evil skull candleholders. I just like the theme.
  5. Creepy Planters: These planters seem to be big this year. Target has a full line of them, and I really think they’re a great addition to any Halloween decor theme. (Note: the big black spot on the one on the left is my attempt to take out my reflection.)
  6. Dragon Sand Timer: I’ve loved sand timers ever since I was a little kid. This little item actually lights up
  7. Skeleton Wine Holder: This thing is really cool. It would be great holding extra bottles of wine at a party. And who doesn’t love a drunk skeleton? Or extra wine, for that matter?

So while Walgreen’s might not have the other stores beat in terms of size or variety, they do have some nice items that you might want to check out.
