One of the scariest things about the upcoming Halloween season is that somehow it’s already almost here. The summer has flown by, and it would be nearly impossible to believe that fall is on the horizon if it weren’t for all of the adorable seasonal decor popping up on the shelves of all of our favorite stores.
Walmart just so happens to be breaking out the Halloween-themed kitchenware and decor, and while a lot of it is your quintessential spooky fare, there’s one item in particular that is just plain adorable: a glass ghost-shaped mug with big cartoon-like black eyes.
Halloween is meant to be scary, but this mug is anything but. While it’s made to hold all of your favorite hot and cold beverages (just not back to back, because the glass could shatter), it also doubles as ghoulish decor. You could use it to hold a few fresh cut fall flowers, or to display coffee stirrers or straws for your at-home coffee bar.
“I love this mug! Very cute and festive. I’m really excited for Halloween now! It’s subtle but still gets me in the ~spirit~ (pun intended) for the season. Can’t wait to drink some cider out of this!” wrote a Walmart reviewer. “This little ghost mug is absolutely adorable. It is large enough to hold plenty of hot cocoa or your favorite beverage,” said another.
The best part is that this little ghost mug is just $7, so you can treat yourself to a seasonal splurge without breaking the bank. Plus, you can use it all season long to enjoy your morning tea or coffee because, let’s face it, it’s so cute you won’t want to shove it into the back of your cabinet until next year. Feeling particularly festive? Pick up a set for your whole family — it will get everyone into the Halloween spirit long before you start passing out Halloween candy.
