Halloween Decor and who's selling it

I'm talking about stores you wouldn't normally think of for selling home decor stuff and Halloween accessories first.  Secondly, the stores you know have Halloween stuff.

Bath and Body Works -
Cute little candle holders and Halloween scents in their candles, hand soaps, and anti-bacterial hand sanitizers.

Crate&Barrel -
They sell quite a bit of stuff for entertaining.  Things like barware, some home decor, and little odds and ends.

Pottery Barn -
Lots of glass jars, little knick-knacks, and entertaining stuff for parties.  Similar to Crate&Barrel

Yankee Candle Company -
Candle accessories by the truck load (Boney Bunch, which I personally don't like), Halloween and fall scents for candles, and a few little decorating things non-candle related.

Bed, Bath, & Beyond -
I always find a few little candle things here or cutesy small decorations for Halloween every year here.

Grandin Road -
Be careful with this store.  They have some of the coolest looking Halloween decorations here, but the quality is spotty.  I bought a 5' female mummy from them and what was supposed to be an easy 2 piece assembly took hours to put together with 2 people working out all the little problems as to why the 2 pieces would not fit together.  That would be my genius brother and me!  Only if you don't mind fiddling with things to make them work right, or buy the little things where assembly or electricity isn't involved might you be ok.

Michael's -
This place is like an addiction for me.  Every year they have all the little table decor that I want like mini skulls and potion bottles, but I just can't afford the whole store.

Joanns Fabric Store - Also like Michael's.  They have a lot of crafty stuff with decor mixed in and usually, it's really cute.  Stickers, stamps, and baking stuff galore.  Don't say I didn't warn you.

And stores you know are selling Halloween stuff:

Spirit Halloween Stores - They pop up all over every year and are chock full of costumes, masks, and cheap holiday decor.

Halloween Express - Same idea as above, though some of these stores are permanent.  Masks, costumes, and cheap home decor.

Hallmark - Always a small treasure trove of holiday stuffed animals, bowls, little decor items, and a ton of cards.

Target - A ton of stuff.  Most of it's cheap, but sometimes I find some really nice stuff amongst all the junk.

Kmart - Quality is low here, as you expect.  I think this store will go completely belly up within the next 2 years.  It's been struggling for too long to last much longer, and ever since they got rid of their snack bars in the 80's and got rid of my favorite food item (taco snacks!) they haven't been the same.

Happy Shopping!
