New Gift Guide Addition: Halloween!


Story by stellaloella, TechUpdates Published on September 5, 2008 in Etsy News	Photo by CiaDesigns

Ah, autumn! All the kids are back to school, there's a crispness to the air and the leaves are about to change color and drop from the trees. Where I grew up in the Midwest, that means soon hayrides, corn mazes, haunted houses and pumpkin-carving parties will start to fill the social calendars of many people. And before you know it, that fateful night will come when all the little princess, superheros, ghouls and goblins will roam through the night in search of candy corn ... and maybe even a little mischief.

Now is the time to start preparing for the festivities, and we're pleased to announce a timely new addition to Etsy's Gift Guides — Halloween! This temporary section will appear at the top of the Gift Guides page under the "Featured Guide" header. Get set for the season with the amazing decorations, costumes and other Halloween-themed items you'll find in this special guide, curated by Etsy's staff.

Looking for more Halloween items? Browse 'Halloween' in the Holidays category! For other great seasonal goodies, be sure to check out the upcoming Fall Fashion and Autumnal Showcases.
