Boo! Having a ghost mysteriously float past your guests is guaranteed to make them recoil and shriek in horror! This battery-powered ghoul plays a spooky sound as it glides through the air, travelling up to four metres – making it perfect for the hallway to freak out guests as soon as they arrive!

2. Halloween maid – RRP £30.00

With her light-up eyes, moving jaw and “Get out and stay away!” remark, this is one maid you don’t want in your house! But that’s what makes her the perfect Halloween guest – place her by your front door to welcome arrivals, or in your porch to surprise trick-or-treaters.

3. Moving bat – RRP £23.95


Watch out! This ghastly-looking bat flaps its wings, moves its head and has demon-like eyes that flash red. Its monstrous laughter is guaranteed to give your guests a good fright, too! Hang it above a doorway or in your living room’s darkest corner.

4. Pumpkin lights – RRP £11.99

Pumpkins String Lights 30 LEDs 10.33 ft Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Lights for Halloween Party Decorations - Battery Operated Multi Colour

Switch off all the lights and create a spooky ambience with these multi-coloured pumpkin lights, which will look great twisted around your bannisters or draped over your mantelpiece.

5. Ghostly apparitions – RRP $39.99

If you own a projector, take your decorations to the next level and create serious atmos-fear with these scarily good apparitions. From ghoulish girls to wrathful wraiths, these characters will seem like they’re inhabiting your home – link to a bluetooth speaker and keep it charged using one of GP’s PowerBanks. Tech doesn’t get more terrifying than this!

6. Ghost projector – RRP £49.99

This projector is perfect for use indoors and outdoors, with Halloween themes including a scary ghost and a skeleton that dances to music. It also has a selection of Christmas animations, so you can get it back out in December!

7. Blood handprint window wall – RRP £6.99

Halloween Decorations for Window Wall, Scary Bloody Handprint Halloween Props Indoor, 80×35.5”

Get a load of this grisly prop: a blood-smudged ‘Help us’ sign, with a mysterious shadowy figure lurking in the background. Transfer to any glass door or window and light from behind – use on the front of your house to creep out arriving guests and passers-by.

Be a horrifying host

With your house kitted out in haunted decorations, you need to think about costumes for the hosts. We really like this battery-powered alien pick-me-up costume, and these dastardly Purge Election Year LED light up masks!

Don’t forget batteries

Finally, many of these decorations need batteries, so make sure you stock up in advance of your Halloween bash! If you want to save yourself some cash in the long run while limiting your impact on the environment, take a pick from our range of rechargeable batteries, some of which can be boosted 1,500 times! You’ll need one of our awesome chargers to top them up, so you’ll always have batteries ready and waiting, including a set for the next lot of decorations you’ll be putting up: Christmas ones!

The 4 benefits of walking every day – and how to stick at it

Image
Did you know that dog owners walk 79% further than non-dog owners? Great news for those with a canine companion...not so great for the rest of us who don’t have a beloved pooch to pry us out of our homes when it’s cold and wet outside. Dog or no dog, walking is a great way to get fit and lead a healthier lifestyle. Nature is free, not to mention the environmental advantages of walking instead of driving or catching the bus.

There are lots of reasons to try and incorporate more walking into your day-to-day life.

Geocaching: everything you need to know about the world’s largest treasure hunt!

Image
Blending technology with exploration, geocaching is an exciting outdoor activity that’s become extremely popular in recent years. If you’re yet to try it, here’s a brief explanation of what it is, followed by some final tips before you set off on your big adventure... What exactly is geocaching?

Once you’ve placed the box back in its original position, you can later record your find on the app and share your adventures on social media – fellow geocachers will be keen to read about your experience!
