I am seemingly compelled to check out the Halloween section whenever I am out this time of year, attempting to fulfill my insatiable appetite for teeny tiny plastic eyeball toys that double as teeny tiny shaped bottles of bubble-blowing soap.
Yes, I bought some of those for my Halloween party last year, and quickly decided that "next year" I would be on a quest for even more teeny tiny eyeball themed items.
Even though the soapy messy concoction leaked all over the place, and my party guests soon went back to their party drinks, I can't help myself from filling various dishes with plastic treats and tricks alongside the mandatory candy bonanza.
I usually pass over the creepy motion-activated candy bowls, the battery operated noise makers and the life-sized plastic skeletons, but only because I probably already have them, okay, I admit it, I can't leave without one big bag of teeny tiny plastic skulls. Because, you can never really have too many teeny tiny plastic skulls.
Target always has the best Halloween items, the 'cream of the crop' is limited to 2-3 pieces for each store so you must get there early, myself I begin stalking Target beginning near the end of each back-to-school season.
Before you know it, I've spent a grand total of $200 on a pile of super awesome landfill-ready Halloween 'crap' that will surely add joy to my annual, usually messy, imbibed adult pumpkin carving celebration soon to be taking place.
I often joke that Halloween is my favorite holiday because I can get away without dusting before we have guests over. Honestly, I think it's because of those teeny tiny plastic skulls and those 'oh so adorable' teeny tiny plastic eyeballs.
