Trinkets...you know, the little goodies sold along with Halloween costumes like jack-o-lantern flashlights, scary buckets, glow-in-the-dark necklaces and bracelets, toys, etc. Gone are the days of throwing a sheet with eye holes over your head and carrying a pillowcase for candy. We buy lots of stuff for holidays. Before you buy, think about how you will store those little goodies after Halloween.
Another thing that blows my simplifying brain is blow-up characters outside people's homes for Halloween or any other holiday. Usually there's not just one. They are cute and all, but my thought is, "Where do they keep all that stuff the rest of the year?"
If you are a target for holiday marketing of trinkets or blow-up sculptures in your front yard, be forewarned. They will take up space in your home for storage. If you don't have space for such frivolity, perhaps just enjoy your neighbor's displays.
