Halloween Round Up {Recipes, Printables & More!}

This morning, Payton announced, "Only 9 more days until Halloween!"

I almost fell off my chair.

How is that possible? One of my favorite months of the year, that kicks off the entire holiday season, and it's almost over?!

Time to make the most of the next 9 days!

I've scoured my favorite web sites to create a fun "Halloween Round Up" that includes recipes, gift ideas, printables, and much more.

I hope you enjoy these talented bloggers as much as I do.

Decor

I am so smitten with this Halloween garland available here from Kiki & Company.

It would take a little time to cut out each letter, but definitely worth it in the end for a free custom-designed piece like this.

Here's a fun subway art printable that would look sharp framed on your mantle or kitchen bar area. You can download it here from the talented folks at eighteen 25. It's also available in other colors.

This is a fabulous idea for styling your living room for a Halloween party. It reminds me of my talented friend, Paula, who loves to use old books when decorating. She has such a great eye for decor and I know she would love these spooky faux book covers.

You can print them here from The Idea Room blog.

I love how she put an apple on top of the book (think Snow White). Very cute!

Gift Ideas

Whether you're looking for hostess gifts, or party favors, there are so many incredible printables available on the web these days. I love all of these, but it's just a tiny sample, so if you don't see what you need here, check Pinterest or just Google it and you'll find millions more!

This rhyme is one of my boys' favorites, and I know they would love to hand these cute treat jars out to their friends. The free printables and step-by-step instructions are available here from Busy Mom's Helper.

These bottle labels are fun to put out if you're hosting a party, or to put on a bottle that you're giving as a hostess gift. They're available here from the Elli Blog.

Again, my mind is caught between kid parties and adult parties, so excuse the potty humor, but how funny are these party favors?! And so inexpensive to do! I love it.

The cute labels are available here from Raising Lemons.

I thought this one was just perfect for teacher gifts. So easy and yet, so polished looking.

You can download the gift tags here from eighteen 25.

Recipes

In searching for some fun Halloween recipes, I came across some really gross looking food. I know Halloween is all about scary and gross things... but I don't think I want to eat things that look gross. So, here are my favorite NON-gross Halloween recipes:

The hubs loves Mexican food, so I know he'd be pleased if I made this before heading out to trick-or-treat with the kiddos...

All the instructions and ingredients are available here from Chickabug Blog.

Or how about this fun 7-layer taco dip idea from Six Sister's Stuff:

I love this super simple cake idea. Even I could do this...and I rarely bake! :)

Recipe and more ideas available here at Little Miss Momma.

I also love the simplicity of these little chocolate coated pretzels.

Instructions are available here at High Heels and Grills.

And I couldn't list Halloween recipes without listing our annual favorite... the mummy dog!

Super easy to make, and the kids love em. Should you need instructions, you can view them here at Raining Hot Coupons blog.

I hope I've given you some great last-minute Halloween party and gift ideas. Enjoy the next few days, because before you know it... you'll be hearing Christmas music on the radio! :)
