TJ Maxx Halloween 2023

Get ready for a long blog post! TJ Maxx has been fully stocked for Halloween every time I've dropped in. At some point, I had to cut off how many pictures I was going take/share. I even left some of my TJ Maxx photos out of this post! 

As I say, fully stocked shelves. This gives a bit of an idea of how closely packed all the goodies were. I love that wood cat peeking out of the teacup.

The store had a lot of Halloween and Day of the Dead themed beauty items this year. This a brush holder, although I'm imagining it holding some fake flowers. I'd go with some bright yellow and orange marigolds. 

Cute soap dispensers:

I like how TJ Maxx sorts their soaps by color.

They also had more Halloween jewelry than usual. I took just a few of the possible photos I could have taken in this section. They had a lot of big, blingy skull necklaces in the jewelry cabinets. I'm not sure if you can tell, but these skull earrings were basically little mirrors. I just now noticed that the jaws are hinged.

How beautiful are these spider earrings!? I don't think I could comfortably wear them because of their weight, but I can admire them!

I like the box more than the earrings in this case.

And these ghost earrings are so fun too! They'd be fun to wear in the way where you could swish the beads back and forth, but again they seem pretty heavy. I think I'd prefer to wear one of these earrings as a brooch.

This Jack Skellington aroma diffuser and wireless speaker is a combination I never thought I'd see. Oh, I'm just reading now that it includes color changing lights. I wonder if his whole head lights up and changes color?

A mystical table runner:

The ghost tassels on the bottom of this runner remind me of a few crafts from my childhood. 

This beaded spider pillow isn't one I would comfortably lean into, but it is pretty. 

Skull pillow:

They had a number of Halloween mugs, and these are a few of my favorites:

Frida Skull:

This might be my absolute favorite:

The font on this adorable mug reminds me of Scooby-Doo. 

It appears that this Halloween gingerbread house lights up, although I don't remember trying it. It would be fun to put together a mini Hansel and Gretel kind of scene with this. 

And speaking of fairy tales and wicked witches, how cool is this poison apple?

The skull on this journal cover was put together with those sequins that you can kind of move around and make patterns in.

This is just so unusual. I guess it's a crystal ball/snow globe. Very creepy.

What cracks me up about this pic is the set of arms on either side of the snake's head. That was a total accident. It becomes a whole new creature with those.

Selfie skeletons!

Bat log? I'm not sure, but I like it. It's rustic and vintage looking.

I like those owls that I didn't even mean to photograph! 

I wonder how easy these would be to drink from or to hold on to, for that matter. I think I photograph skeleton glasses every time I see them, because I like them so much. Still, I wonder if anyone actually drinks from these.

OK, Time's up on this blog post. 😉

T.J. Maxx Halloween ~ Flying off the shelves!

The time has come for me to share the T. J. Maxx photos I've been collecting over the past few months! I've been revisiting the same T. J. Maxx, thinking I didn't have enough Halloween photos to assemble a blog post. Well, the store kept selling and restocking their Halloween merchandise over and again! So before I knew it, I had multiple folders of Halloween items saved on my computer. Who would think that I would go from not enough photos to more than enough? I scanned through my many photos, choosing my favorites. 

This T.J. Maxx moved through a lot of Jack Skellington products. These were the ones I liked best.

Come to think of it, most of the Nightmare Before Christmas designs I saw were on some form of drink holder.

This is just pretty. I think it's a cup with a lid, but I can imagine it more as a vase.

They had a nice fortune teller themed section. I think a person could put together a really nice fortune teller room with what I saw at T. J. Maxx and Michaels this year.

"Talk to the Hand" Palmistry. 😄

I got such a kick out of these musician skeletons.

The lounging skeleton bowl... Yeah, I remember this one well. I was alone in the aisle with this and the skeleton just started talking out of nowhere. It must be motion sensitive. Anyway, it was saying that sort of sassy joke stuff these kind of decorations say while its eyes lit up. That actually spooked me! He's kind of funny looking with nothing in the bowl, hey?

This spider felt like cast iron as I lifted it. He was heavy! But I had to place him in a better location for the photo. So I hefted this rather large spider over to a light colored chair where there would be some contrast. It's hard to tell, but this spider was over a foot long.

I used this cat for the cover of a Halloween mix CD I made once! I probably got it off the Graphics Fairy site. There are some good vintage Halloween illustrations over there. I just checked and yup! If you're curious, here's the black cat section of her site: 14 Black Cats

I noticed a number of decorations and kitchen things with silver skeletal hands on them. That must be a trend this year.

See? I'm not always into glasses that are being held by hands, but I like these.

And how pretty is the orange metallic material in these glasses? It's mesmerizing in its way.

It may be hard to tell from this picture, but these are cutting boards. I really like them both. The black and metallic one gets some points for that funny squatting skeleton, though.

Kitty cat napkins:

They had a pretty good selection of Halloween mugs this year.

I love these plates, but they are super heavy!

A Ouija Board tray:

I thought this radio looked like an actual antique.

Do you see the Mickey faces hidden in the leaves?

This was a pretty fantastic long pillow. I want to say it was embroidered but it was more like someone sewed a patch of embroidery on, if that makes sense.

It's hard to see here, but this pillow had a lot of beading on it.

The Headless Horseman:

More of those three stacked pumpkin towers I'm seeing everywhere! That really seems to be a thing this year.

So, there are my favorites from this year's T. J. Maxx visits. I got to be picky, looking through my many photos. There's no doubt an entirely new selection of Halloween stuff on their shelves by now. 

Somehow I've accumulated a lot of photos from different stores this year, so expect to see more shopping selections. I'm probably most excited to share some pics from Farm Girl Antiques. You guys might remember seeing that store on my blog the last couple of years. Get ready to see some spooky stuff from there!
