Target is carrying an adorable decoration for your feline friends. This pumpkin-shaped scratcher allows your cat to lay inside to rest or to scratch on something safely. The design looks like a funhouse built on top of the pumpkin. It is lightweight and cardboard, so it is easy to move around, and it is not a huge piece that will take up too much space. Your cat will love it, and it makes a great fun indoor decoration. You can pick up the Hyde & Eek Boutique at Target.com or in stores for $16.99 this fall! Be sure to check it out and the adorable photos people shared of their cats enjoying the funhouse scratcher.
The jar is a teardrop shape with ghost and skull images throughout the design. The jar looks like a potion bottle or something you could easily use on your deck, porch, or at a party. The website has a video of how it sounds and looks. While the bottle looks purple, it is blue when operated and runs on double-A batteries. I can envision this being used in a dorm room on a shelf, at a party, or a lab-themed haunted house. It is a nice decoration to add to your Halloween collection. You can pick up this jar at PartyCity.com for about $20.00. Be sure to watch the video on the website as it shows you how it looks when it is being operated.

While the title doesn’t sound like an eye-catching decoration, it certainly is a great piece to hang on a door or entryway to a party or your home this Fall.

The rake also has faux harvest items like berries, twigs, leaves, and other yummy goodies tied up in a gingham bow. In addition to the harvest decor on the rake, there are amber fairy lights throughout the piece. You can grab this excellent fall decoration at Target.com for approximately $27.

This unique sculpted tree has over 35 LED lights. All of the beloved Peanuts characters are featured throughout the tree with an adorable sign saying, “Welcome Great Pumpkin.” Many of the characters hang from the tree-like ornaments sporting their Halloween costumes and patiently waiting for the Great Pumpkin to make his appearance. This piece screams Halloween as it has bats and jack-o-lanterns littered throughout the tree. Woodstock tops the tree on his broom flying in front of the moon. This sculptor requires 3 AAA batteries, but the lights add to the sparkle and shine from the glittery tree. The decoration would be a fabulous centerpiece on a table, on a windowsill, or anywhere else you want to give some Halloween magical touches to for fun. Check out the Bradford Exchange for this piece and other similar Peanuts characters sculptors for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
