Friday Favorites

October 11, 2013 by Carla

Happy Friday!  We LOVE fall here at A&C, and Halloween is definitely the highlight.  Here are a few of our favorite Halloween items from this week:

 

13 Thrilling Treats for Halloween: Our friend Leah over at Work It, Mom! recently put up this great post highlighting 13 spooky Halloween treats.  We especially love the Bowl O’ Bones!

Halloween Hand Treats: Planning to throw a party or provide some treats for your coworkers?  Just full up a surgical glove with candy and tie off at the wrist for a handy (ha!) and holiday-appropriate presentation.

Bloody Shirley Temple: Some ideas are pure genius- like these syringes containing the grenadine portion of a Shirley Temple.  Not only is the display eye-catching, but everyone is sure to have an extra fun time injecting their drinks.  Perfect for partiers young and old!

DIY Mini Pumpkin Candle Holders:  How brilliant are these festive candle holders?  We would take this DIY a step further and draw a jack-o-lantern face on the pumpkins for Halloween.  And maybe black candles?

Pumpkin Party Cooler:  If you’re hosting a halloween party this year, turn the biggest pumpkin you can find into a clever drink cooler.

A healthier Halloween treat:  These are a good compromise for treats for kids: they’re adorable, contain fruit, but still have a marshmallow to satisfy that sweet tooth.  Put a few in your kid’s lunch box or send them for a class snack.  Or what the heck, make them for yourself! 😉
