Popped into Marshall's looking for something useful and....Halloween merch is already being put out.
NOOOOOOOOO!
I love Halloween. LOVE. IT.
BUT not in July for crying out loud. Last year they put stuff out in AUGUST. They couldn't wait till September???? By the time October begins there's nothing to look at and consider. Ugh.
@MariaAragon64 i feel like halloween decor is an after labour day thing. otherwise, it's just not okay. & like you, i 💜 halloween. but let's make it special & not a chore.
@singlemaltgirl @MariaAragon64
A lot of people I know who are MAD for Halloween DO work on their "stuff" all year, so I'm sure they are why the mass availability is moving earlier.
Possibly also the psychology of thinking about cool fall days when everyone is melting means people are open to buying earlier?
@CLManussier oh, i am definitely one of those peeps planning much of the year on my halloween stuff. but i map & plan & search pinterest and review my closet of stuff to see what i will do. i'm not much of a consumer except for maybe makeup and a wig or accessory so those can all be done last minute.
if i want to buy stuff for next year? i'm on the nov 1 sales!!!!
