Deskorations: Halloween Desk Essentials
Calling all Halloween lovers: This one’s for you. We’ve made a list of desk essentials for the spookiest month of the year. From pumpkins to pillows to potions, we’ve got you (and your workspace) covered. Here are 10 deskorations that your cubicle needs this Halloween.
Pumpkins
-Black & Gold Pumpkin Decoration, available at Nordstrom.
-White & Gold Pumpkin Decoration, available at Nordstrom.
-Large Teal Dot Pumpkin, available at Target.
-Putka Pod — Mini Pumpkin — 5 Cups, available on Amazon.
This one’s a no-brainer, but your desk is going to need some pumpkin action. And if you’re like me, you don’t want to go out to the pumpkin patch to buy a pumpkin that’s only good for a couple weeks. No, you want an adorable, spunky pumpkin that you can keep on your desk the whole month and maybe even next October. Any of these pumpkins would make a spooky statement on your desk.
A New Cover for Your Planner
Erin Condren Halloween Covers, available on Erin Condren.
These planner covers for Erin Condren will not only spice up your desk, but your Halloween season work experience. We love all three of the seasonal designs. Make your planner scream October 31st with a simple pattern change! And the best part is that you can reuse it next year!
Skulls
-LED Glass Skull, available at Nordstrom.
-Skull Wine Stopper, available at Nordstrom.
-Halloween Hanging Wooden Skull, available at Target.
-Halloween Pink Sugar Skull Decor, available at Target.
Pumpkins are cute and happy, but Halloween isn’t! So balance out that adorableness with a dead head. I’m not saying to get the creepiest, most revolting, decaying skull in the store, but you should add one to your desk to let people know you’re serious about the holiday. Not all skulls are gross and ugly; here are some more sensible options that put will your daeskthetic on the pleasant side.
Halloween Pillows
-Candy Corn Accent Pillow, available at Nordstrom.
-Halloween Throw Pillows, available at Target.
Pillows are a must all year round, but with the pumpkins and potions on your desk, do you really want to keep the same pastel patterned pillow you use everyday? The answer is definitely not. So, you’ll want one of these adorable Halloween pillows to keep you comfy and a little creepy! What’s better than nestling into the sweet spookiness of the scariest day of the year?
A Home for Your Poison of Choice
-Bold Bouquet Wine Tote, available on Erin Condren.
-Halloween Reusable Burlap Wine Totes, out of stock.
-Macabre Heartthrob Glass Marker Set, available on ModCloth.
-Halloween Coasters (Set of 6), available at Nordstrom.
Who isn’t having wine at the office Halloween party? Keep your wine nice and cool while still out on display this year with a wine tote. The Erin Condren Wine Tote is available in many of her signature patterns. The others listed are less insulated and more for decoration. Either way, a wine tote is a great way to keep the happy hour at your desk!
Festive Trays
-Sugar Skulls Acrylic Tray, available on Erin Condren.
-Black/Orange Paper Serving Platter, available at Target.
-Spider Web Serving Tray, available at Target.
Halloween-themed trays are essential at work for two different reasons: to keep your papers organized and to serve festive treats at the office costume party. The Erin Condren Tray is for your desk to help you keep papers and folders from getting lost. The great thing about this tray is that, like the planner covers, the design can be easily swapped out when the season is over. The other trays are great for making your snack the big office hit this Halloween.
Halloween Mugs
-Pumpkin Copper Mug, available at Target.
-Writing by Night Mug, available at ModCloth.
-Jack O’ Lantern Mug, available on Amazon.
-Mere Sipper-stition Mug, available at ModCloth.
Because who doesn’t use a mug all day at the office? Having one or two Halloween-themed mugs on your desk can really spice it up. Not only can you drink fall beverages out of them, but they can also be used to hold pencils and pens. Your mugs will be the envy of the entire office as they sip out of their solid color, uni-season mugs.
Halloween Garland
-Make the Ghost of It DIY Garland Kit, available at ModCloth.
-Halloween Tassel Garland, available at Target.
-“Happy Halloween” Garland, available at Target.
To add a little spunk to your Halloween deskorations, try some festive garland. One of the best things about garland is that it can be as simple or busy as you’d like. You can buy it in the store or DIY it. It can be creepy or cute. You can get one strand or twelve. You see what I mean? Wrap that stuff all around the cubicle, and you’ll have everyone in the trick-or-treat mood.
Halloween Candy
-Reese’s Halloween Snack-Size Peanut Butter Pumpkins, available on Amazon.
-Halloween Candy Assortment, available at Target.
Halloween is not a thing without candy. I don’t care what anyone says. That said, you’ve GOT to have some sweets on your desk this October. Do you want creepy? Target offers eyeballs, brains, and fangs. Do you want cute? Snickers and Reese’s both make little chocolates shaped like pumpkins! Take your candy any route you’d like. No matter what, co-workers love the person who brings free snack, and that’s a fact.
