Magical Merchandise: Other Online Halloween Finds

Friends, I am so excited about this post!!!  I have to admit that part of the reason I've been so annoyed at Shop Disney's slow roll-out of Halloween merchandise is that I've wanted to share all of this with you!  I've found so many fun Disney Halloween items available online from other retailers!  This is in no way everything available out there, but these are a few things that I've come across that I have really loved!

From pumpkins, spiderwebs, bats, candy and ghosts, to Haunted Mansion and Hocus Pocus... I've found so many fun things!  The items in this post are only a handful of the Disney Halloween merchandise pieces available.  I've picked out a few of my favorites pieces of decor, items for pets, accessories and clothing items!  Let's check them out!

HOME DECOR

First, we have this super cute and hard to find Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Sitabout from Kohl's.  This is probably the most popular Disney Halloween decoration this year.  We haven't even gotten them in Maine and I'm not sure if we will.  For a few weeks, I've searched Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Chicago, San Jose and San Diego hoping to find them available for pick up.  I finally found two in a suburb of Chicago and Eliot's sister Sara was able to pick them up for me.  Then, last week, they finally arrived in New England and my brother Jeremy was able to get one more for Eliot and me.  They seem to keep popping up randomly though, so if you'd like one, don't lose hope!  (They have been so popular that I imagine they'll be back next year!)

Next, we have Mickey pumpkins smaller friend, the Mickey Mouse Cutout Pumpkin Sitabout.  This is a little bit smaller than the other Mickey.  I love the Mickey cut outs along with the stars and moons.  Inside, the light color changes.  I was able to order two of these little guys online!  They're very cute in person too!

My other favorite Halloween decorations from this year is Mickey's Pumpkintown village from Department 56.  I already wrote about this in it's own post, so I won't go into depth, but I wanted to make sure it made this list of my favorites too!

PETS

Finally, a category in which I haven't bought anything... yet anyways!  Eliot and I don't have our puppies yet, but I'm sure they're going to be spoiled with all the Disney and holiday toys that they can handle.  This year, Chewy released so many dog and cat Disney Halloween toys.  There's too much to show you everything, but here's a glimpse of what's available.  Aren't these dog toys the cutest things!?!?!  I love them!!!

My favorite was the Mickey pumpkin!  It's sold out now, but hopefully they will bring them back again next year since they were such a hit this year!

We're not really cat people, Eliot's really allergic to them, but I still appreciate how adorable these toys are!  Don't forget to give your pets a little love this holiday season!

ACCESSORIES

If you've hung out here at all, you're probably aware of my affinity for handbags and accessories.  Loungefly bags are probably my top collection right now... and the holiday bags are always my top favorites!  This year, they've released a bunch of new designs for the Halloween season!  A lot of them are still available for pre-order on various websites, and they'll be coming to Loungefly's website soon!

A few weeks ago, Loungefly also released their own exclusive bag of Binx, the black cat from Hocus Pocus.  It was very limited, but somehow I was able to snag one!  He's made with faux fur and he even has a tail!  Not only is he a cute accessory, but he'll make a cute decoration for our house too!

Finally, they're not accessories, but I did want to note that Loungefly is also releasing a few Halloween outfits in the coming weeks through their Stitch Shoppe by Loungefly line.  I am obsessed with the Mickey Mouse Pumpkin dress!  It's even candy corn colored!!!  I also love the villains book dress that reminds me of the princess books collection.  There will also be a Hocus Pocus dress and a Nightmare Before Christmas outfit too!  Keep an eye out on Stitch Shoppe's Instagram page for more information on when these items will be released on Loungefly's website!!!

As you know, I also love jewelry.  This year, Two Park Princesses released a Mickey Spiderweb Necklace and a Hocus Pocus ring.  I bought both pieces a few weeks ago and I absolutely love them!!!  They also released Mickey Spiderweb earrings and a Jack Skellington necklace!  A lot of it has sold out for this spooky season, but I think they still have some rings and the Jack necklace available!

I also caved and bought my first jewelry from Baublebar.  I saw these Minnie Candy Corn Witch Earrings in a Facebook ad and I just couldn't help myself!  But, they are absolutely adorable and I have zero regrets!  (These are currently waitlisted.)

CLOTHING

I also have a bit of a clothing problem... I probably could wear a different spooky outfit the entire week of Halloween.  One of my newest acquisitions is this cute Mickey Spiderweb Dress.  It's made by Cakeworthy but it's exclusive to Unique Vintage this year.  I'm not a fan of spiders, but this dress with hidden Mickeys is really cute!

Photo Source

Cakeworthy also released a bunch of Halloween items over on their own website.  I love this Mickey ghost dress but it totally sold out before I was able to grab one!  (I believe they also had last year's Unique Vintage exclusive of the Mickey pumpkin dress, but it's long gone too!  Maybe they'll be back next year!)

They also brought back their very popular Hocus Pocus flannels.

This year, they released a bunch of Haunted Mansion items!  The new dress and sweater are totally sold out right now, but I'm hoping that they'll bring them back!

They also released a few new Haunted Mansion flannel shirts and brought back some popular designs from past years!  I have a few of them and they're so comfy!

You know who really surprised me with all of their Disney Halloween merchandise... Torrid.  I love shopping on their website, and there's almost too much fun stuff to show you, but I'll try my best!  (I've got over 70 photos saved on my laptop...)  They have Disney Halloween "costume" style dresses, a Haunted Mansion collection and a Hocus Pocus collection.  Here are some of my favorites.

The first thing I discovered on their website was the new Mickey and Minnie Halloween collection.  I love the pumpkin shirt, the leggings and the cardigan.

I really love this cute Toy Story Alien shirt!

I'm not a huge Nightmare Before Christmas fan, but I bought this dress.  The colors in it are beautiful and I really like it.  I also love these Jack Skellington pants and sweater!

Photo Source

There are so many Haunted Mansion items this year!  These are just a few!

When I saw this Madame Leota Sweater, I had to have it!  It's so soft!!!

I really love this Hocus Pocus Sweater!!!

Finally, I was really impressed with this Hocus Pocus cape!  I haven't bought it yet, but I might.  Not only does it have amazing details, but it's also a beautiful green.  Plus, there's no denying that it would be perfect for fall days here in Maine!

This year, Hot Topic and Her Universe have also come out with new clothing items from two collections.  The first collection is their Hocus Pocus line.  They brought back they very popular Dani sweater, which sold out in plus sizes on Hot Topic.  (I was able to grab one from Her Universe.)  I also really love the tunic top!

Photo Source

The other collection is the Disney Halloween collection.  I love the skirtall with the Mickey pumpkins on it.  The striped shirt is also really cute with the embroidery at the collar.  It was also nice to see Winnie the Pooh and Stitch and Angel designs!

Photo Source

The Mickey and Minnie shoes were really popular!  I missed out on them, but I'm hoping they'll bring these back since they were a big hit!

Photo Source

Finally, last but certainly not least... the hottest item available this year is the Disney Candy Corn Sweater by Her Universe.  It is/was sold online by both Hot Topic and Her Universe and it appears to be the most sought out Disney Halloween item this year.  If you don't have this sweater already, expect to pay a pretty penny for it, or to be waiting a few months to receive it (in order to use it next Halloween season).

This item has been very popular ever since it made it's debut on Instagram.  Rumor has it that Hot Topic released a few sweaters in stores near both US Disney theme parks.  Naturally, there were tons of fun theme park posts of guests wearing the candy corn sweater... basically people who were able to snag one near the parks.

It was going to be a available online, but no one knew exactly when.  Obviously, it was highly anticipated.  I read about one girl calling all of the Chicago stores located near her daily.  Others kept going to their local stores every other day.  I admit, I checked the website multiple times a day, hoping that I might see it when it finally arrived.

Luckily, Eliot's and my late night owl tendencies worked in my favor.  It dropped on August 24th at midnight and thanks to following a few people on Instagram who posted about it, and me getting notifications whenever they post, I was able to get my Disney Candy Corn Sweater before they completely sold out (in about 20 minutes).

It arrived a few days later and it's so gorgeous!  The colors are so bright and fun!  The little Disney patches on the sleeves make it extra magical!  I'm completely obsessed!!!

Photo Source

Right now, Her Universe is totally sold out of it, but Hot Topic did re-release it as a pre-order.  Unfortunately, they won't arrive until sometime in January, but if you want to snag it for next year, and at retail price, that's the best option now.  (I've heard that the sweater is going for insane prices on sites like eBay, Mercari and Poshmark.)  It really is spooktacular!  Don't miss out on this fun, magical, cute and sweet sweater!

And there you have it!  I love all of these fun Halloween merchandise finds!  I hope you enjoyed all of them as well!  I don't know about you, but I'm definitely in the spooky spirit!  Now, all I need is for the temperature to drop a little bit and for the leaves to start changing.  Then, I can rock my new Halloween outfits and accessories!  °o°
