But if Jack Skellington’s not your vibe, there are plenty more shirts to choose from.
I’m glad teens are still into “Twilight” enough that merch is being sold. And with an animated version of “Midnight Sun” on the way, a whole new generation of tweens are going to be introduced to Forks.
Next to the graphic tees was the home decor.
I liked this welcome mat, but I’d feel like a fraud if I got this without being a true cat person.
“Harry Potter” accessories were mixed in with Halloween items.
I was very tempted to buy the orange Jack Skellington plushie, but I just couldn’t justify it.
Another Tim Burton property, “Wednesday,” also had a presence at Five Below.
There were shelves upon shelves of candles.
Among the display, there was an entire shelf filled with pumpkin-shaped candles.
This entire aisle smelled heavenly.
A small corner of the Halloween section was dedicated to pets.
There were also Hello Kitty products here, which I was surprised by.
This Hello Kitty eyeshadow palette was particularly cute.
This has a Day of the Dead design.
My haul came to $51 after tax.
For just under $50 (before tax), I purchased:
A pair of $5 ghost-covered pajama shorts
A $1 pair of skeleton socks
A $2.50 keychain
A $3.50 Starlight Spell sugar scrub
A $2 six-count of velvet pumpkins
A $3 Jack-O’-Lantern succulent
A $4 dog sweater
A $4 novelty ice tray filled with gummy bugs
Three fall candles for $5.55 each
A $5 pumpkin welcome mat
A $1 reusable bag
I was pleased with my purchases, even if my dog didn’t love the sweater. Now, I just need the weather to catch up.
For just over $50, I tricked my brain into thinking that it was no longer 80 degrees in New York City.
This was my first Halloween-themed shopping trip of the fall, but after visiting Five Below during Halloween and the holidays — and enjoying its wide selection of affordable, fun items — I can confidently say it’s one of my favorite stores for this type of shopping.
