HEs Halloween Treat: Handmade Pumpkin Figurine from €9.90

When I’m invited to a Halloween get-together, I don’t want to show up with a big gift. But I also don’t like arriving empty-handed. That’s why I like small things that fit the occasion perfectly.

The handmade Halloween pumpkin figure with a three-toothed face is available from 9.90 euros. It is made to order and is a small, reusable gift.

Please don’t use a typical gift bag

I would use a small paper bag, fold over the top edge twice, and secure it with a wooden clip. Attach a dried leaf or a small charm to the clip. Protect the figure from bumps during transport.

Or even easier: Place the figure in a small open cardboard tray with some paper. This way, everyone can see what you’ve brought. For a Halloween gift, I think this is better than packaging that has to be ceremoniously opened.

Turn the gift into a suggestion

Include a small card: “A pumpkin greeting for your autumn.” This turns the figure into a gift with a story. It can be taken home after the party and reused again next season.

Who would I bring it to?

Friends, neighbors, or the hosts of a Halloween get-together. It also works as a small extra gift with sweets. I wouldn’t put both in a huge gift basket, though—a small pumpkin figure, something sweet, and a short card are enough.

If you prefer to decorate for Halloween in an autumnal rather than spooky way, you’ll find more subdued options among my pumpkin ideas for gifting and decorating.
