I'm a former sped teacher. Totally get it. Years ago, I went with my bestie and her niece on Halloween. I was shocked when people gave us candy, too. Lol
Teens trick or treat at our house all the time. Sometimes they aren't even dressed up, but they are always polite enough, and I'd much rather they be trick or treating than getting into trouble! ❤
I just recreated the 375 dollar white home woods Christmas box for a little over 100 dollars. I just used google lens and found the same exact items they are including in the box.
Same with the candy thing! We’ve had teenagers who are taking their siblings around for trick or treating get so surprised when we offer candy! Like, of course we’ll give you a treat you’re taking your siblings around!
I loved taking my siblings out when I was a teenager. I'd get all dressed up, walk with the littles until they got tired, collect a lot of candy from adults who were happy to see me spending the holiday with my younger siblings, and then go home and have my friends pick me up and go out for the latter half of the night. Everybody's happy. Especially my parents, who got to take half the night off from their huge gaggle of kids.
Especially when you consider they could be out drinking and partying or bullying little kids. Instead they’re helping their siblings trick or treat. Yes that’s worthy of candy.
For a few years there was an older guy (20s-30s)who dressed up and trick or treated by himself in our neighborhood. He just loved Halloween and dressing up and he was a sweetheart. We always gave him so much candy. I think about him often and I hope he’s doing well.
Starting to see patterns and good attributes to make a lil ghostie out of things around your house is so funny. Sounds like the start of a comedy sketch where the items get more and more ridiculous.
Loved this video. I relate to you so much. I have dyslexia and ADHD (also Lupus). I thought you might appreciate knowing (I sure did when I found out) that your frequent trouble with being able to say the right word that you obviously know but just can’t place and spit out is called dysnomia. It’s a form of dyslexia. I actually cried when I learned this because I felt so dumb and ashamed grasping for words I knew I knew! Learning it was a real thing not me being an airhead was very healing. Keep being awesome. I love your videos you feel like a friend.
There really is! I can’t leave them sitting around the house like that. When I was filming this I would take off the sheets before going to bed at night😂
I love the direction you've been taking your channel in. I've been here for the majority of this journey and I can't wait to see it what more you have in store for us. I'm super proud to be a part of this unboxing/duping/un-duping community.
If that candle doesn't get too hot, you could use yellow food coloring with school glue and paint the flame part, to cast yellow instead. It makes it translucent still, but adds color.:)
Bright trees outside will be great for Trick or Treaters! More lighting makes it look more inviting and safer so you'll probably get more with the extra light.
Best way I know to make a bright cool light more warm is to make a cone out of a clear yellow/orange cellophane that’s large enough to cover the bulb. Kinda like a little bulb tent lol. Love that candle
I’m Australian. If you knock on my door and say trick or treat you’re. Gonna get a Kit Kat!! Any age. Take this Kit Kat!! Happy spooky spring Halloween!! 🇦🇺
Here in the USA us spooky folks call it Easterween when we celebrate in spring (although that’s during Easter time). But I do like spooky Bunnies!! Look up and find some spooky spring decor!
@ I think we share a decor vibe although I love dark academia with lots of potion bottles and specimen bottles (nothing TOO gross) and dark tomes. But it’s just this year that America found a way to market Halloween year round with Easterween and Summerween. I’m like “I’m good with it if I have to put up with ‘Christmas in July’” which we stole from you aussies just to sell more shit year round. American commercialization really is …. Something.
@ 😂 I gotta visit!! I want to see the Great Barrier Reef before it’s gone and see all your cool animals and stuff. And the Opera House. But I’m terrified of all your things that want to kill me like blue ringed octopus and those jellyfish and snakes in your toilet and giant spiders and spiders that weave snow overnight ……. I don’t know how you guys even get out of bed. It must be the beer, marmite, and sheer moxie.
Your collection is so much better! ❤❤💀💀💀💀All the DIY ghosts are adorable, add in the fact you were late in the season ~~ you did amazing! ❤❤ I love these videos!
Great job, and I love the variations at the end! It really shows what you can do with the theme the box gave you, but finding your own way to get the feel for less!
Loved your intro! 👻❤ So happy to see all your wee ghost DIYs, including boho ghost 😂 Would love to see ghosts embracing different fashion trends with their sheet/blanket choices. I mean, plain white is feeling like it’s been done to death at this point.
I love all your video's but the duping boxes ones are I think my favourites (unless you're roasting a too expensive advent calendar/the sephora advent calendar then it's pretty close) putting diy projects for things easily diy-able I think is a great idea! it shows exactly how cheap some of these boxes can be while claiming so much value
You did SO good, girl! You are the most genuine, sweet person on RUclips!! I immediately drop whatever I'm doing when you post. Happy Halloween 👻🎃🕸️🕷️💀🍁🕯️🍬
We had a group home for adults near my house and one man always came to our house on Halloween. He was maybe in his 40’s but mind of a 7 year old. I always made a special Halloween package for him with toys and games as well as candy. We moved 2 years ago and I miss those folks. Now I get 130 awesome kids at my door and the teenagers are so polite. The Midwest is a great place to live. You did a great job with your buys
I absolutely love your curtain bangs & your hair in this & the last video! You would look adorable in a bob haircut! Anyway, I love these recreating videos! Thank you! 👻 🎃👻🎃👻
We get 300 or more trick or treaters on Halloween. It’s so much fun and anyone who comes to the door gets candy. Teens, parents, anyone who walks up the sidewalk.
You don't know how thankful I am for all your DIYs at the end. You always seem to have so much joy exude through your videos for me and I appreciate seeing you be your charismatic self.
Just want to let you know how much I’m enjoying your videos. I’m quite a bit older than you and your kind of videos usually aren’t something I go to. I think it’s your personality that I enjoy! 😊 And I love your dogs!
I love the things you chose, especially the ghost with the raised arms. And the very colorful trees. I really, really enjoy it when you do these, thanks!🖤
Is this little black tree going to replace our ‘keep it up until next Christmas-Christmas tree’ that you had at the old house?! Because I LOVE that idea.
This is my new favorite video of yours, the intro, the making of 72 DIY ghosts, it was so good. And I think I like your version better because of the warm colors
The little ghost decoration from the box reminds me of those Time Out dolls from the 90’s and 2000’s. They always creeped me out. I was so sure that any second they would turn around.
Love the dupe. My sister found branches for her wedding on Amazon that you can make them them any color for any occasion. The branches are cheaper and they have so many options.
Loved, loved this. Was so fun, I liked the ghost with the volleyball and the candleholder plant thing because he looked like he was smiling through the fabric. I also thought the idea of whipping the blanket off to reveal a skull was potentially quite a scary surprise for someone 😊
I'd love to see a clip with aaaalllllll the ghosties together! Like in the background on a Halloween unboxing, but with zero explanation or acknowledgement. 😂
A delightful video! Honestly, you sound so much like the voice in my head when I'm in a store shopping/choosing/rationalizing. I love that voice, I'd never leave it at home!
Really, I like all of your options better than the original box...and I loved the box when you opened it! Thanks for listening to us and doing this dupe! Looking forward to more Happy Halloween in your new home!! 👻🍬🧡🍭🎃💜
Lol I enjoyed the fact that you were seeing ghostly possibilities everywhere. I don’t have many decorations up we’ve been busy but I’ll have to look around my house and consider making some of my own
My son's last trick-or-treating was 11th grade.. I said you're kidding you're not going out anymore. I'm not ready to break away from candy.. so I painted my face. Dressed like death. And I went and collected a whole bunch of candy. Yes I did.. you better believe he was like oh my gosh would you get.. the next year we went together.😂🎉😂 He's moved out and I miss it so much.. Oh my goodness your little ghosts are so adorable. Your little guy that you bought that looks like a little zombie. I suggest making him a ghost as well. What's cute about him is he has two legs. The other ones don't. So I would put light behind him so you can see the shadow of his legs. Oh that's so adorable.. No I like your sheet ghost I like your blanket ghost and your curtain ghost that's my favorite... Oh heck no the cheap one. Not even worth it, yours... So worth it🎉😂🎉
For stress control I have started doing adult paint by numbers. It is so relaxing. You don’t have to think about creating the image you just make it pretty.
I love these videos so much! It helps show people that you don't have to get a box but instead spend the same amount of money ob stuff that you would actually use and like. 90% of my decorations are from dollar tree and/or I DIY'd them and they last for years. Definitely get my $1.25 out of them haha.
GREAT JOB ONE OF THE BEST DUPING ADVENTURES YOU HAVE EMBARKED ON YOU NAILED IT!👏👏👏 I have to say with all the dupes that you've been doing with these home decor boxes and similar boxes, this has to be one of the best ones yet!. It's like almost dead spot on! That just goes to show you with a little creativity you don't have to spend $105 to have things sent to you that are maybe lesser quality! YOU can go out and spend under that and get things that are not ONLY for Halloween but also you CAN YOU USE AGAIN & AGAIN! I think you did an awesome job! WAY TO GO ALEXANDRIA! 🥰👍
The opening was cute! I love your Dupe videos!
Aww thank you❤
It was amazingly done! Put Cinematographer on your resume! 😊
@Alexandria-Ryan it's absolutely a dupe video! You're duping the theme & spirit of the box.
Yes!
Me too!
That intro was to cute 😍
Thank you😊😊
“It’s not my imaginary friends.” *pause* “I left them at home. You crack me up. You look really happy. It looks good on you ❤️
She killed me! I was dead for like a second I think!
I DIED 😂
Your little boy's reaction to the skull was hilarious 🤣 💀👻
My son is mentally around 7 and physically 14 so I love that that attitude because too many ppl are not nice about a teenager acting like a little kid
I'm a former sped teacher. Totally get it.
Years ago, I went with my bestie and her niece on Halloween. I was shocked when people gave us candy, too. Lol
Teens trick or treat at our house all the time. Sometimes they aren't even dressed up, but they are always polite enough, and I'd much rather they be trick or treating than getting into trouble! ❤

I just recreated the 375 dollar white home woods Christmas box for a little over 100 dollars. I just used google lens and found the same exact items they are including in the box.
Oh wow, that’s awesome! And also a fantastic idea, I never even thought to do that! Lol
Great job!!!!
@alexandria-ryan …. You should start at dollar tree first! That ghost is adorable!
Same with the candy thing! We’ve had teenagers who are taking their siblings around for trick or treating get so surprised when we offer candy! Like, of course we’ll give you a treat you’re taking your siblings around!

Especially when you consider they could be out drinking and partying or bullying little kids. Instead they’re helping their siblings trick or treat. Yes that’s worthy of candy.
Who wouldn’t give them candy?! That’s so sad! Trick or Treating should be for everyone!
I always offer to older siblings too.
For a few years there was an older guy (20s-30s)who dressed up and trick or treated by himself in our neighborhood. He just loved Halloween and dressing up and he was a sweetheart. We always gave him so much candy. I think about him often and I hope he’s doing well.

Thanks for the info about dysnomia. I didn't know it had a name.
Wait there's a name for this?! I am diagnosed Dyspraxic and waiting on an ADHD assessment and I do this all the time! X
You were right! There is something spooky about that little ghost lol
There really is! I can’t leave them sitting around the house like that. When I was filming this I would take off the sheets before going to bed at night😂
@Alexandria-Ryan 😂
I absolutely adore you! You make my day!
I love the direction you've been taking your channel in. I've been here for the majority of this journey and I can't wait to see it what more you have in store for us. I'm super proud to be a part of this unboxing/duping/un-duping community.
Your box remake videos are my favorite and I always like yours better.
If that candle doesn't get too hot, you could use yellow food coloring with school glue and paint the flame part, to cast yellow instead. It makes it translucent still, but adds color.:)
Or even just a sharpie (if it doesn't get hot)
@bluemoonsyrup yes!
Bright trees outside will be great for Trick or Treaters! More lighting makes it look more inviting and safer so you'll probably get more with the extra light.
The ghosts! You’re an actual genius they’re all so cute
"Get your leg in order, Buddy!" Absolutely made me cackle. 😂😂😂😂 Poor guy has wiggly bones.
Omg! The little mummy guy is ADORABLE!!
100% agree about the trick or treating! In our house, it doesn't matter how old you are, if you are wearing a costume, you get a candy bag!
Best way I know to make a bright cool light more warm is to make a cone out of a clear yellow/orange cellophane that’s large enough to cover the bulb. Kinda like a little bulb tent lol. Love that candle
I’m Australian. If you knock on my door and say trick or treat you’re. Gonna get a Kit Kat!! Any age. Take this Kit Kat!! Happy spooky spring Halloween!! 🇦🇺

@@bluecobaltsteph2689 oh I have! My house is all skulls and flowers!!
@@bluecobaltsteph2689 also Easter is pumpkin and autumn leaves here. Just no spooky 😂
@ I think we share a decor vibe although I love dark academia with lots of potion bottles and specimen bottles (nothing TOO gross) and dark tomes.

"I'm looking for a candy dish...." Purchases a literal bucket
Your collection is so much better! ❤❤💀💀💀💀All the DIY ghosts are adorable, add in the fact you were late in the season ~~ you did amazing! ❤❤ I love these videos!
“Not me and my imaginary friends - I left them at home!” Girl. Every single video you make got me in stitches. Thanks for being you ❤
I love that you just made so many home ghosts haha, that was so great.
Love the intro
Great job, and I love the variations at the end! It really shows what you can do with the theme the box gave you, but finding your own way to get the feel for less!
Loved your intro! 👻❤
So happy to see all your wee ghost DIYs, including boho ghost 😂
Would love to see ghosts embracing different fashion trends with their sheet/blanket choices. I mean, plain white is feeling like it’s been done to death at this point.
😂
The intro was very clever. Loved it! Really liked the added DIY option and all the thought that went into this video.
I love all your video's but the duping boxes ones are I think my favourites (unless you're roasting a too expensive advent calendar/the sephora advent calendar then it's pretty close) putting diy projects for things easily diy-able I think is a great idea! it shows exactly how cheap some of these boxes can be while claiming so much value
I absolutely agree that anyone should be able to go trick or treating! Especially older kids. I happily hand it out to anyone too.
The short film intro 👌🏻👏🏻
❤❤❤
The opening was a masterpiece…loved the whole video, thank you Alexandria 🖤💜🖤💜the last DIY ghost was my favorite.
You did SO good, girl! You are the most genuine, sweet person on RUclips!! I immediately drop whatever I'm doing when you post. Happy Halloween 👻🎃🕸️🕷️💀🍁🕯️🍬
That was the best intro! I love that you made so many combinations, and so many cute ghosties out of things you found in your house.
Ahhhhh I love the boho ghost the most of any ghost ever!!!!! 😊
I love the "everything can be a ghost" segment!! Happy spooky season!
We had a group home for adults near my house and one man always came to our house on Halloween. He was maybe in his 40’s but mind of a 7 year old. I always made a special Halloween package for him with toys and games as well as candy. We moved 2 years ago and I miss those folks. Now I get 130 awesome kids at my door and the teenagers are so polite. The Midwest is a great place to live. You did a great job with your buys
The dollar store ghost is my favorite too!
14:00 you could take a orange sharpie to the light bulb. Hope that helps ❤
Or alcohol marker
You doing the little hand motion at the mummy boy made me laugh so hard 😂
I absolutely love your curtain bangs & your hair in this & the last video! You would look adorable in a bob haircut! Anyway, I love these recreating videos! Thank you! 👻 🎃👻🎃👻
We get 300 or more trick or treaters on Halloween. It’s so much fun and anyone who comes to the door gets candy. Teens, parents, anyone who walks up the sidewalk.
Love all the diy ghost 👻 best part😂 I also love the trees!!
This has to be my favorite recreation video!! I'm 100% biased because halloween is my favorite holiday.
I love the dollar tree ghost and the ghost with the fringe...they make a cute couple😂
You don't know how thankful I am for all your DIYs at the end. You always seem to have so much joy exude through your videos for me and I appreciate seeing you be your charismatic self.
Just want to let you know how much I’m enjoying your videos. I’m quite a bit older than you and your kind of videos usually aren’t something I go to. I think it’s your personality that I enjoy! 😊 And I love your dogs!
Great job! And I feel the same way about trick or treaters at my house too.
OMG the opening 😂
Your all of your spooky child ghosties are perfect! 😱👻😹
Pandora has an advent calendar!!!!❤😂
The intro was so fun. Then we cut to you and Wren and I was like aww. Those trees are so pretty. I love them.
Alex I loved that opening
Hellllloooo Booootiful!!! That is what you should name the series! "Dupe that Decor!!"
Oh my gosh! I love this video. Tater and the skull! I love that dog!
Your way was so much better. Love everything you added.
I love the things you chose, especially the ghost with the raised arms. And the very colorful trees. I really, really enjoy it when you do these, thanks!🖤
Is this little black tree going to replace our ‘keep it up until next Christmas-Christmas tree’ that you had at the old house?!
Because I LOVE that idea.
The. DIY ghosts were so cool and the dollar tree was the best x
Hilarious-had a great time!
I used to have to keep my camera on an ice pack wrapped in a towel, haha! I love what you picked more than the og box 👻
You cracking the ghost code and becoming only slightly obsessed was the highlight of the video for me.
Always stay you, stay safe, stay amazing!! ☮️💙🌈
I love the spooky movie!! I also love the ideas you came up with to dupe the box!!
The witch candle is cute with those extra little candles inside. Good job!
This is my new favorite video of yours, the intro, the making of 72 DIY ghosts, it was so good. And I think I like your version better because of the warm colors
I really like how you did the end with the different variations, it was nice to see different ways of duping. I also agree your choice is way better.
Man, I was NOT in a Halloween mood until your segment on making everything a ghost and now I am properly in a Halloween mood!
Your dupe is always so much better!
0:17 yesssssss
The little ghost decoration from the box reminds me of those Time Out dolls from the 90’s and 2000’s. They always creeped me out. I was so sure that any second they would turn around.
From a fellow woman your age struggling with hair loss, your hair has looked AMAZING lately
The DIY ghost variations were actually hilarious. I agree with your favourite. This video was alot of fun!
Love the dupe. My sister found branches for her wedding on Amazon that you can make them them any color for any occasion. The branches are cheaper and they have so many options.
Loved, loved this. Was so fun, I liked the ghost with the volleyball and the candleholder plant thing because he looked like he was smiling through the fabric. I also thought the idea of whipping the blanket off to reveal a skull was potentially quite a scary surprise for someone 😊
Awesome video Alexandria! Your little intro with the creepy Victorian ghost was totally cute!
I loved all the configurations, and think the mummy is super cute, especially with the colourful trees.
Michael's usually is good place for a spooky tree & they are usually on sale as well (as long as don't sell out). Also, that opening was adorable!!
I'd love to see a clip with aaaalllllll the ghosties together! Like in the background on a Halloween unboxing, but with zero explanation or acknowledgement. 😂
A delightful video! Honestly, you sound so much like the voice in my head when I'm in a store shopping/choosing/rationalizing. I love that voice, I'd never leave it at home!
My heart just warmed when she said, “isn’t that fun!” It’s just so wholesome❤
I think your variations blew the original box out of the water! I loved the opening and I love to see all your different finds and diys🖤
Oh my gosh your diy ghosts were priceless!! Seeing your baby get spooked by one too extra priceless! Way to go Alexandria!!
The opening 😭!
This video was SO much fun! I always love your "dupe the decor" videos, but I especially loved the "choose your adventure" take on this one.
I like the dollar tree ghost the most, too. I didn't expect to like it the most, but once it was on the wreath holder, it looked really good.
I love the diy aspect of this recreation. Maybe we could see your awesome crafting skills on other dupe videos ❤
Really, I like all of your options better than the original box...and I loved the box when you opened it! Thanks for listening to us and doing this dupe! Looking forward to more
Happy Halloween in your new home!! 👻🍬🧡🍭🎃💜

Much better, and more importantly, stuff YOU chose and want and will use.
For stress control I have started doing adult paint by numbers. It is so relaxing. You don’t have to think about creating the image you just make it pretty.
I love your creativity in coming up with different versions of ghosts. Fantastic! Your recreation of boxes are always great!
I prefer yours. I like the color in the lights, and I think the items you found look nicer quality/make a classier looking display 🙂
I love these videos so much! It helps show people that you don't have to get a box but instead spend the same amount of money ob stuff that you would actually use and like. 90% of my decorations are from dollar tree and/or I DIY'd them and they last for years.

The intro film was great! Tater's reaction to the skull was funny!
Loved the opening!! Vote that these segments are called “Dupe that Decor” from now on!
I LOVED THE SPOOKY OPENING!!! Aaaah so fun.
Your version is by far the best!!!
Hi Alexandria, you are so creative and it’s fun when you seem to be having fun doing them!
