It’s that time of the year again: the heat is unbearable, the humidity is suffocating \u2026 and it’s time to start hunting for Halloween. And true to the typical Halloween retail schedule, my first haul of the season comes courtesy Bath & Body Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, I approached Halloween having truly convinced myself that I’d be able to eliminate them from the list of stores I prowl during spooky season. I completely ignore them the rest of the year. Most of their scents are not for me. It seemed like an easy one to weed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the spoilers came out and I saw cats. Lots of cats. And those infamous witch hands were back, this time in 97,000 configurations. Then they sent me a 20% off coupon. Then a 30% off coupon. And I was doomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Black Cat Candle Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For me, the star of this year’s lineup is the black cat candle holder<\/a>. And at $40, it’s one of the more reasonable offerings among B&BW’s sometimes preposterously priced items. With its green gemstone eyes and gold collar details, I could instantly picture this on the vanity in my bedroom, which has a black and gold color story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Witch Hand Pedestal Single Wick Candle Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The witch hand candle holder <\/a>is back this year, only now her velvet sleeve is a dark green instead of black. Personally, I love the change, as that green sleeve will go perfectly amongst my bathroom decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Noise-Making Water Globe Raven Pedestal 3-Wick Candle Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With its sickly green glow and globe full of floating bats, the raven globe candle holder<\/a> caught my eye the minute I saw it. Besides its whopping $80 price tag, the only downside to this piece is the audio loaded into it, which sounds straight out of a cheap ’80s video game. If there wasn’t the option to turn it on without that song playing, it would have been enough to make me pass on this one. But since I never have to hear it again, I think it’s a beautifully bizarre piece to add to my collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Ivy Hand Gentle Foaming Soap Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The witch hand is back in a big way this year, and my favorite of these additions is the ivy hand soap holder<\/a>. Though it’s hard to capture in photos, the ivy has a beautiful iridescent sheen to it. This is another piece I know will go great blending in with my bathroom decor, and will pair perfectly there with the witch hand candle holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Witch Cat Nightlight Wallflowers Fragrance Plug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I picked up one wallflower plug this year: the witch cat<\/a>. It has a velvety body, and its eyes glow in the dark when plugged in. Too cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Witch Hand PocketBac Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three pocketbac holders ended up coming home with me in 2022, my favorite being the witch hand<\/a>. Sanitizing your hands is so much spookier now that she’s clasping the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath

Next up is the witch cat<\/a>. With her fuzzy little head and glow in the dark eyes, you know I wasn’t going to leave her behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Wearable Glow-in-the-Dark & Light-Up Skeleton PocketBac Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And last but not least: the skeleton<\/a>. There’s something about this goofy guy that I find endearing. Picturing him jiggling around on my purse was too funny to pass up. His body glows in the dark, his eyes light up brightly, and now he’s going to be wiggling at my side while I continue the Halloween hunting season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that concludes my Bath & Body Works Halloween haul for 2022! Overall, I thought B&BW had a great collection this year, with a little something for everyone. If you wanted something cute and traditional, they had it. If you preferred something quirky, they had it. If you were after something creepy and dark, they had it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could have easily purchased more, but decided the above was the perfect assortment of spooky to match my personal aesthetic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
