Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Hey Everyone, I'm noticing that a lot of people are sending what I call "Heart Strings Gifts" these are gifts that you weren't expecting, a surprise gift, a gift from the heart, hence it's name, you know, when someone tugs at your heart. Anyways, I figured, since we already have a thread for posting our goodies from our Halloween Gift Exchange Partners it would be nice to have somewhere to post our other gifts recieved. So, if you recieve goodies from someone other then your Gift Exchange partner, have at it posting them here.

Halloween Heart Strings ~ Reaching Out in Halloween Spirit

Here's what I bought my honey for Halloween. It's a Halloween Beer Tanker Well in his case Beer or Crown Royal. And some Chocolates, and the sweetest card. Hope he'll like it



Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of what the inside of the card says, it says: Spooky, huh? Happy Halloween





SO let me know what you guys think

I adore that card! It's such a cute message - I've never seen anything like that over here in the UK. The tankard is fantastic - where ever did you get it?? And I LOVE those orange Lindor chocolates!! They are soooo yummy. I used to work in an outlet that sold Lindt chocolate at special prices, and we got to take home £1.50's worth of chocolate every week! In October, we would get special Halloween Lindors in - they were Lindor balls with orange foil Jack O'Lantern wrappers, and the outside chocolate had crispy bits in and the inside was praline............ *yummmmm*

Well I'm just speechless, my heart is overflowing with joy! I received such a Beautiful Beautiful Heart Strings Gift Parcel from MamaHooch today in the mail. I was so moved by her attention to every detail, and the loving Bat Theme of goodies she created. Everything is just so wonderful and perfect, thank-you from the bottom of my heart MamaHooh, I love you dearly, you're just too sweet

Here are a couple of shots of everything together, and one close up of Krinkles Bat Halloween Pin, It's the most adorable little fellow I've ever seen so I had to take a close up.
Oh, here's a list of all the goodies: A Package of Rubber Bats, The most gorgous Bat Batter Bowl I've ever seen, 2 Bat Goblets Which I've always wanted but could never find out this way, a Bat Mask, 2 Super soft pairs of the sweetest Bat Socks, Bat Happy Halloween Craft Ribbon, Krinkles Bat Halloween Pin, Tones of Tooties Pops, Halloween Pencils, an oh so cute Bat Hair band, a super Bat Platter tray that will totally go with my bat utensil rest, Lots of Mini Oreo's, the most adorable Batty Chocolate covered peppermint Patties, and the nicest Bat Halloween card and matching gift bag Thank-You so much again MamaHooch ~HUGS~

Here's Mr. Krinkles as I'll call him, isn't he just the cutest fellow



And Here's a full shot of everything together, check out that Bat Batter Bowl





And on the wrapping paper MamaHooch had put some bat stickers, so I carefully removed them and put them onto my mailbox

Those are great little gift to brighten someone's day.

Haunted Horseman, You're not kidding it brightend up my day

Hey DOD!

I really like that witch brew mug glass! Looks good!


BTW, I also have 2 skull wine glasses and a skull beer mug! I will try to find some pics of them, and I will post here later.

Thanks HM, I hope hubby will enjoy it too. I picked him up some Crown Royal so he can test it out when he gets home

Wow! What a nice suprise from MHooch. I wish I could afford to send something to everyone on this forum! Thanks for sharing the pictures DOD.

Your hubby loves RC!? That's cool!

For me, I like Black Russian and Tanqueray!


BTW, I've found the pics already, and I will add them here later tonight.

And here's a coincidence!!!

I got MY Heartstrings package from DOD today, too!!

A gorgeous cauldron that will look PERFECT on the Potions classroom shelves at the Potter Party!! Great little bats that hang from strings and wiggle with the slightest breath like they are going to fly away!! Black and orange tealights, aweome! And CHOCOLATES WRAPPED IN JOL FACES what will they think of next, two of my favorite things, chocolate and pumpkins, together!!!

Thank you, thank you, DOD, you are very special to me. I really loved the card you sent, too. (Actually it gave me a great idea for the poetry thread ). You really made my day, sweetie. Thanks a million!!

Hugs from Hooch

PS: here's the pic

MamaHooch, I'm so glad you liked everything & that it made your day. I really enjoyed shopping for you, and I thought that Cauldron might just fit in your Party theme Did you notice that creepy little spider in the bottom of the bowl
I just wish there was Harry Potter style decor stuff around here, all there seems to be this year is kids HP costumes and accessories...

I MISSED THE SPIDER!!!!!

Thanks for pointing it out, that's even CUTER!!
