Michaels Stores Trick or Treat 2025 Halloween Decorations

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

We are now 17 days away from Halloween! I hope everyone is excited about this spooky holiday!

Every year, I complain (To myself) how there aren’t a lot of “ordinary” Halloween decorations. For so many years, the decor is so aesthetic… but it isn’t my aesthetic! I want more orange, more cute, not creepy, ghosts, and plenty of happy looking Jack-o-Lanterns. Sadly, there hasn’t been many decorations like this. So, I’ve resorted to making some of my decorations.

This year, Michaels released a collection of decorations called Trick or Treat. This collection is similar to what I have in mind for my Halloween decorations. It has many things I like and want from the decorations. Although it is not perfect, it did give me ideas and inspiration for my own Halloween decorations.

Michaels Stores’ Give Thanks Fall 2025 Decorations

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Fall decorations have changed a lot over the years. Although there are the normal and expected decorations, such as pumpkins, leaves, and more, sometimes there are themes that are unusual and… well… odd. Especially in more recent years.

This year, Michaels has a collection called “Give Thanks”. The collection includes many of the expected fall related items, but this time they would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Now-en days, I don’t see many decorations that would work for Thanksgiving celebrations. This collection, on the other hand, has many things that would be perfect for decorating for Thanksgiving.

Michaels Stores’ Blush Romance Fall 2025 Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I have been a casual fan of romantic and shabby chic fall decorations for many years. Some years I don’t like the style  of them, but other years I do. Normally I purchase these decorations to use them throughout the year due to their color scheme and how I like to decorate my house.

For fall 2025, Michaels has a new collection called Blush Romance. The collection included everything I usually want to see in a shabby chic/romantic themed fall collection: Roses, darker tones, and vintage/Victorian inspired designs. My closest Michaels has most of the collection available to shop in store, so I took some photographs of the items that caught my eye.

Michaels Stores’ Woodland Creature Figurines for Fall 2025

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I talked about a very cute fox figurine I saw at my closet Michael’s store. You can read the post here. I liked it a lot, but I thought it was pretty big for my house right now

While shopping around the store, I found a selection of creatures made out of the same materials as the fox. The difference is not only the variety of figures, but the size. These ones are much smaller than the fox I originally saw.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Homewares

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While browsing the new Kate Spade New York x Target collection, I discovered a lot of things I liked in the homewares section of the collection. Since the collection is so large, I was not surprised I would find things I liked in every category. What surprised me is that I liked the homewares more than the other categories! Stand out products are the vinyl record player, the tent, and umbrellas.

Everything in this post (And all other posts in this series) will be available to purchase online on April 12, 2025 at 3 EST and in store on April 12th.

All the photos in this post are originally from the media pack available for free on Target’s website. I edited them for this post.

Favorite Walmart Christmas Ornaments for 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every holiday season, I enjoy looking at the new ornaments. I do this partly because I enjoy looking at the new ornaments, the new holiday trends, and any potential replacements for my old ornaments if I need them.

This year, I found many pretty and cute ornaments at Walmart. I don’t always find nice ornaments at Walmart, but this year I found many! They include vintage inspired ornaments and glass ball ornaments.

Walmart’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 2024 Holiday Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For 2024, Walmart had a lot of holiday decor that was popular. Unfortunately, my Walmart, which is a smaller sized store, didn’t get very many decor that was popular. Instead, there were popular decor that was popular in the area where I live. One of those decorations was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Nightmare Before Christmas and many Tim Burton directed films and TV shows are popular in my area. So is the merchandise inspired by them. This is why I wasn’t surprised when most of The Nightmare Before Christmas themed decorations sold out. There was a restock around late October, so there were items still for sale in December. Still, The Nightmare Before Christmas and items relating to it still remains to be very popular.

I was able to see the decorations in store before they began to sell out. Even though I do not share my area’s fandom for The Nightmare Before Christmas, I did find some items in the collection really cute.

Michael’s 2024 Sprinkle Shop Christmas Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This holiday season there have been many viral Christmas decorating trends. One of the trends I saw online was using decor from Michael’s stores.

This year, Michael’s had four themes for holiday decor. They are Sprinkle Shop, Gala, Holiday Pines, and Night Before Christmas. At my closest Michael’s, they had three of the four decoration themes. The only one that was missing was Holiday Pines. (I just wanted to mention I’m sad I didn’t get to see Holiday Pines in store! It had some pieces I was interested in browsing and potentially buying!) After browsing the collections multiple times during the holiday season, I realized I have my favorite themes. The theme I didn’t like out of all the collections was Sprinkle Shop.

Walmart’s Stitch Holiday Decor 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In a previous post, I talked about Walmart’s The Grinch holiday decorations. Along with The Grinch, the Walmart I normally shop at also had decorations inspired by two other popular animated movies. The one I liked a lot was the Stitch decor.

I like Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, but it isn’t my favorite Disney movie of all time. Still, I sometimes like to browse Stitch themed items just to see how they look. This year’s holiday decor was cute and I even found some decorations I seriously considered to purchase! (I decided not to due to reasons unrelated to if I like Stitch or not. One of the reasons is if I felt comfortable purchasing more holiday decor this year or not.)

This year, I decided to shop for more ornaments from brands I don’t normally shop for more than one ornament per year from. One of these brands is Swarovski.

I was able to purchase all my ornaments either on sale or for a really good price. One of the ornaments I was able to purchase is an Amazon.com exclusive little snowflake ornament.
