Trick or Treat: Outdoor Halloween Decoration Ideas

Happy Howl-O-Ween!

From its candy and its food to its outdoor decorations, costumes and décor, it’s no secret that Halloween continues to rise in popularity. Billions of dollars are spent on Halloween goodies every year. Americans clearly know how to eat, drink and be scary!

Creep it Real

Halloween’s popularity shows no sign in slowing down, and why should it? October 31 is the time of the year to express yourself, to come as you aren’t, to have some fun and to apply your creepy creativity to some outdoor spaces. Outdoor Halloween décor is easy with today’s pre-lit, whimsical and super-fun outdoor décor. Both kids and adults can get into the spook-tastic fun: Halloween is created for both the young — and the young at heart. Whether you’re bone to be wild and love your outdoor skeletons or you’re the ghostest with the mostest and love to shake your boo-ty, you’ll find some something totally awesome at Miles Kimball’s Halloween store. Below, we’ve featured some of our favorite Halloween décor and outdoor décor items that will turn the heads of neighbors and make you the talk of your town.

Light-Up Halloween Flair

When it comes to outdoor Halloween items, nothing is easier than pre-lit Halloween décor items that are just your (blood) type. If you like the look of whimsical, pre-lit holiday décor, you love the glow that these charming designs with mini lights will provide when placed in a window. All that is needed is a nearby electrical outlet and/or an extension cord for instant Halloween décor. Choose between our Black Cat and Moon Light, our charming Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Light or our batty “Happy Halloween” Shimmer Light.

DIY Halloween Lighting: Pumpkin Carving

Prefer DIY Outdoor Halloween lighting? You can’t get much easier (or classic) than pumpkin carving — which is the quintessential outdoor Halloween décor. Pumpkin carving has been the go-to family friendly activity for decades and allows you to be as traditional — or as unique — as you want. Whether you opt for a simple, smiling jack-o’-lantern or you spend hours creating an intricate, funny or scary scene, this staple outdoor Halloween decoration offers you hours of fun — not to mention tasty pumpkin seeds to be shared with the family.

Consider a scarecrow-themed lighted jack-o’-lantern: “sew” your pumpkin’s mouth up with twine. Turn the traditional pumpkin-carving on its head and use the “stem” of your pumpkin as your jack-o’-lantern’s nose, cutting a silly or a traditional smiling mouth below and triangle eyes above the stem. Pay homage to your four-legged furry friends by carving cat or dog paw silhouettes into your pumpkin. Want a super-easy outdoor pumpkin decoration that takes mere minutes to create? Consider spray painting multiple sizes of pumpkins and gourds gold metallic, black, silver or white and arranging them on your porch steps, patio or landscaping areas. When it comes to outdoor décor, it’s best to go big or gourd home!

Take a Gander at Outdoor Halloween Goose Decor

Everyone is talking about our Outdoor Goose and his wacky wardrobe that includes outfits for every season, including Halloween. Just in time for Halloween, our friendly neighborhood decorative goose has decided to don his Pumpkin Goose Outfit, his Witch Goose Outfit and/or his Frankenstein Goose Outfit. Pair one or more of our outdoor geese for a fantastical, fun and fa-BOO-lous outdoor garden décor looks that will add conversation starters and whimsical interest to your front yard.

Decorative Yard Stakes, Garden Flags and Halloween Garden Décor

Looking for some fun, quirky and adorable looks for your Halloween-inspired garden décor? Consider decorative garden stakes and Halloween-themed garden flags. These are almost-instant outdoor Halloween décor choices that add color, fun and whimsy to your spaces. Metal garden stakes, plant stakes and garden flags are a quick and easy way to brighten up potted plants, hanging baskets and more. Choose from several charming garden stake styles by Fox River Creations™, including Jack-O’-Lantern plant metal stake sets (which will give ‘em pumpkin to talk about), Halloween Planter Stakes Set or Metal Black Cat Stake sets. What about eye-catching Metal Witch Leg garden stakes? These’ll turn any yard, planter or landscaping island into a fun-loving “crime” scene that may require further scrutiny.

Grandparents’ Day Gifts They Will Love

National Grandparents’ Day in the United States has been a relatively new addition to the parade holidays that are celebrated in this country. President Jimmy Carter signed the legislation that detailed the first Sunday after Labor Day as “National Grandparents’ Day” in August of 1978. According to the preamble of the statute, the purpose of the holiday is to “honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become of aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.”

National Grandparents’ Day 2020

Because of the isolation that many of our nation’s elderly experienced during the long months of quarantine, this upcoming National Grandparents’ Day is even more significant. The COVID-19 quarantine may have directly affected your parents, grandparents or other elderly members of your family in many different ways. For this reason, it is even more important to acknowledge this holiday and make it a point to celebrate National Grandparents’ Day 2020. At Kimball Corner, we’ve put together some thoughts and ideas about some gifts that grandparents will love for the National Grandparents’ Day holiday.

Personalized Outdoor Garden Flags

Everyone loves personalized gifts; grandparents are no different! Personalized gifts offer someone an extra-special product and demonstrates that you put some extra effort and thought into their selection. With Miles Kimball, it’s easy to find personalized items that your grandparents will love. You can tailor your grandparents’ hobbies, interests and pastimes into this personalized gift-giving tradition.

For a grandma or a grandpa who love their outdoor spaces, our personalized outdoor décor, garden flags, wind chimes and planters are must-sees. Check out our personalized garden flags in several styles, including our personalized “Garden of Love” garden flag, our “Patriotic Fireworks” garden flag, our personalized “Frog Garden” flag, personalized “Grandma’s Favorite Peeps” Easter garden flag or the charming custom “Tweet Hearts” garden flag. These garden flag selections can be personalized to feature the names of grandkids, which we think will utterly delight all grandparents!

Personalized Home Décor for Grandparents

Home is where your grandparents’ hearts are, so a great addition to their home is likely something that they’ll love. For veterans, our Veteran’s Flag Display Case is always a thoughtful choice to give a grandma or a grandpa who served in one of the branches of the military. Family birthdays are meant to be celebrated and with our Personalized Dates to Remember wall hanging, your grandparents will never forget whose birthday is when. For a rustic table centerpiece, planter or home decoration, they’ll love our personalized wooden planter boxes. Choose from our “God Bless America” style or our “Family Name with Year” style. These versatile, high-quality personalized wood planters are a fantastic addition to grandparents’ home and will be cherished for many years.

Personalized Photo Frames for Grandpa and Grandma

Many grandparents love showing off their grandchildren with school and special occasion photographs. There’s always a place on proud grandparents’ shelves for another picture frame that highlights their pride and joy. What’s an even better way to show off the grandkids? With a personalized photo frame, of course! At Miles Kimball, we have personalized Exposures photo frames galore in all sorts of styles. From eye catching and vibrant to rustic and understated, there’s a photo frame for all interest preferences and décor choices.

Our personalized “Gone Fishing” frame celebrates the bonding time between grandpa and his grandson or granddaughter. Don’t miss our personalized shiplap “Grandpa” frame for a high-quality addition to any mantle, shelf or table. For the best grandma ever, our “I Made it Just For You” or our personalized “English Rose” style frame allows you to feature the names of the grandkids under your favorite family picture.

Photo and Scrapbooking Items

Our Exposures photo and scrapbooking albums are top-quality ways to organize and highlight the most special moments in life. We think grandparents will love one of these albums — better yet, purchase one of these high-quality albums and their corresponding pages to create a bespoke album that highlights a special moment, such as a golden anniversary party, a special birthday or a reunion. They’ll love these thoughtful handmade gifts that were put together with love and care by the people who mean the most to them.

Letter Writer Gifts, Stationery and More

Have a grandma or a grandpa who loves to write letters and send cards? Consider making a basket of personalized address labels and stationery items that they’ll be able to use throughout the year to communicate with loved ones all over the world. Our personalized name and address labels are always a fantastic idea and come in a huge variety of styles, including patriotic red, white and blue styles, garden-themed personalized labels and religious and faith-themed address labels that feature stunning scenes and vibrant, eye-catching colors. Grandparents will love our greeting and note card products, our 24-count all-occasion greeting card sets and our notepads. In the gift basket, don’t forget to add a smooth-writing gel pen and some stamps, too!

Celebrate Relationships that Mean the Most

National Grandparents’ Day is a way to highlight and celebrate the relationship that means so much. Make this day even more special with gifts they’re sure to love. Our personalized gifts are a way to say, “I love you,” even if long distances may physically separate us. Do you have any ideas for gifts to give grandparents?
