10 Spooktacular Christmas Gifts for Your Little Monsters!

 

Ho-ho-horror! It feels like overnight, the Halloween decorations come down and the Christmas trees go up. But what about the families who love Halloween year-round? Just because “Spooky Season” is over, doesn’t mean we’re ready to hide the remains until next year. While we embrace the Christmas Spirit, we’re bringing the Halloween spirits along with us, and I found some great holiday gifts to honor the little ghouls in your life!

Just a heads up, this post contains affiliate links, which means I earn a little something when you click through and make a purchase - but don’t worry, this comes at no cost to you!

1. Inflatable Bouncy Pals Skeleton Hopping Horse

We have no shortage of toys to ride or bounce on (and inevitably throw across the room as part of a monster battle) but this skeleton-themed hopping horse is the big hit this year! It’s most perfect for kids 2-3 years old, and inflates/deflates easily in case you want to store it away while not in use.

2. Horrified: Universal Monsters Strategy Game for Ages 10 & Up

For the slightly bigger monsters in your life, Horrified is a cooperative board game where you defend the town against Frankenstein, Dracula, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon! It’s such a fun way to get friends and family together and be a part of the Universal Monsters universe. It’s also a great way to introduce newbies to the creatures you already know and love.

3. It’s a Monster! Frankenstein T-Shirt

Our 7 year old gets so many compliments every time she wears this shirt! She loves the bright colors, and getting to show off her knowledge of the Universal Monsters. It’s the perfect gift for someone who cherishes the chills of October but still wants to be a part of the December cheer.

4. DIY Witches’ Potions Kits for Kids

Brew up some fun with this magical kit! Honestly, I’m just so grateful the kids are making “real” potions instead of squeezing all our shampoo out into a cup. This bewitchingly creative kit lets your little witches and wizards concoct their own spooky potions with step-by-step instructions. Newts and frog legs not included.

5. Full Moon Night Light

Our family has a funny little habit of howling at the moon whenever we happen to see it. It doesn’t matter if we’re at our front door, in the car, or in a crowd. The kids get so into it! This nightlight let us bring the moon indoors, and now our little werewolves won’t stop howling with joy. (Sorry neighbors!)

6. MyFav Pajama Set with Glow in the Dark Rockstar Skeleton

You wouldn’t believe the shrieks (of glee) we heard the first time our 3 year old saw how brightly his skeleton shirt glowed. Deadtime - I mean bedtime - got pushed back a full 30 minutes so we could flip the lights on and off and watch his PJs do their thing. They’re so comfy, he wants to wear them all the time!

7. Goosebumps Retro Scream Collection: Limited Edition Tin

I was obsessed with Goosebumps as a kid, and now at 7 years old, our big kid is old enough to enjoy these without getting scared. It’s become our favorite part of the bedtime routine, and we’re already picking out which Goosebumps books to read next. The best part - she decided to put the books directly on her shelf, and found a new use for the tin. She officially has the coolest pencil case at school!

8. Ghost in the Attic Cooperative Game

Games get really competitive in our house, so it’s a great change of pace to play this thrilling game where we’re all working together. Players try to escape the haunted house before the ghost. The best part: the ghost, board, and game pieces glow, allowing you to play in the dark and adding an extra layer of excitement!

9. The Creepy Crayon Book

Dive into a world where a crayon comes alive in the spookiest of ways! Jasper Rabbit is not doing well in school, but then one day he finds a crayon that’s purple, pointy, perfect … and somehow looks happy to see him? Perfect for kids ages 4-8, this book is the right amount of creepy and the right amount of silly.

10. Halloween Window Decals

Deck the halls with boughs of horror! I recognize these window decals happen to be a little intense, but these are the ones the kids picked, and they had a blast sticking them to every window, door, and mirror in the house. Amazon has tons of tamer decals, that still give your home a haunted makeover without keeping the kids up at night.
