Rooted Treasures Succulents
Hello Fall Succulent Pumpkin
We had to start close to home. Our Hello Fall Succulent Pumpkin pairs a real 4–5" pumpkin with a crown of live succulents in rich autumn shades, finished with natural textures, seasonal accents, a handmade "Hello Fall" tag, and a ribbon.
Each one is handcrafted, so no two are alike. It makes a showstopping centerpiece, a thoughtful hostess or teacher gift, or a living touch of autumn décor that lasts well past Halloween night.

JoyShineSunny Smiles Jack-O-Lantern Studs
JoyShine's Sunny Smiles studs are pure happy-Halloween energy. These handmade polymer clay pumpkins wear cheerful, grinning faces, and they're light enough to wear from morning coffee to the last trick-or-treater.
They're an easy way to add a festive touch to any outfit "without the fright" — and at this price, they make a perfect little treat for yourself or a friend.

JoyShineBoo-tique Babe Earrings
For anyone who likes their Halloween pink and sparkly, the Boo-tique Babe Earrings feature a sweet little ghost topped with a glittery pink bow. Think "the girliest ghost in town."
They're handmade from lightweight polymer clay on hypoallergenic studs, so they stay comfortable all day long — whether you're at a costume party or running errands in festive style.

Slow NorthSpellbound Limited Edition Halloween Candle
Set a cozy, slightly witchy mood with Slow North's Spellbound candle. It blends bright tangerine with warm ginger and cinnamon, poured into a swirled 10 oz vessel and scented with 100% essential oils — no synthetic fragrance.
It's hand-poured in small batches at Slow North's Austin studio and "gone when it's gone." Bonus: the seed paper dust cover can be planted to grow wildflowers — a little bit of magic we can definitely get behind. Local pickup is available at their North Lamar shop.

Delysia ChocolatierHalloween Chocolate Truffle Collection
Trick-or-treating, but make it gourmet. Delysia's limited-edition box holds nine truffles inspired by classic Halloween candy: three candy corn, three caramel, and three peanut butter.
The candy corn truffle is the star, with a piece of candy corn tucked inside a white chocolate shell. They're gluten free and kosher, and you can order online for curbside pickup at Delysia's Austin-area boutique. Pair a box with a succulent pumpkin for the ultimate hostess gift.
