Thank you for your PSA & your Ted Talk. I needed that reminder. I was brought up by a Pentecostal mother and Halloween was a big NoNo in my household. Fell in love with Hocus Pocus & NBC in 1993 and there was not turning back. 🎃 Halloween symbolizes my freedom and I love it! Thank you for getting us all pumped up for Halloween. Haters gonna hate and know that a lot of us who love what you do appreciate you very much. Halloween Blessings Always! 🎃
Aw that’s amazing! I am so glad you feel that way and are able to express yourself now, really a wonderful story! I appreciate you sharing & thank you for the kind words!!🖤🎃
It makes me so happy to see Halloween stuff out as I detest Summer and it gives me hope so I can suffer through the nasty yucky heat! I am sure that same cashier has something they get excited for and want to see earlier than most of us, so just ignore. We all have something we love. ❤
My daughter who’s 11 and I just went out to all the stores looking for Halloween and “gothic cottage-core” decor for her bedroom and had a blast! We bonded over Harry Potter so we get super excited for Potter Season! 😉
I had a cashier ask me why I was getting halloween and kinda make jokes about it. She was nice about it and I understand for the normies they want to wait. I have fun in the hunt. Also, for quite some time now, the truth is if you don't get it when it comes out, you'll miss out. Once upon a time, you'd see something you liked and new you could still get it days before the holiday you needed for because it was being restocked. That's just not how it happens with a good amount of items anymore.
Gigi is another word for grandma, Nana and little pumpkins are the grandkids. I worked retail for a long time, and the majority of the people who did not like Halloween coming out was people with certain religious beliefs. I enjoy watching your Halloween content don’t listen to other people who are here for it.
I'm a Christian and we are such Halloween junkies....just because we all love Halloween doesn't mean we all go out and do bad things lol and are bad people. Lol My own family does not understand me or my husband or all 3 of my sons. We are all really into Halloween. My youngest has a birthday September 25 and since he was very small he insisted on Halloween decorations for his birthday. And so his birthday officially kicks off Halloween in our home...and his birthday is always Halloween all over. So people should lighten up and let us have fun lolol❤
Love the PSA and Ted Talk! I don't always comment, I try to always like everyone's video but I felt very compelled to leave a comment after this video. You are so not wrong, I see nothing wrong with enjoying the Halloween decor coming out early and sometimes if you wait, you miss out on being able to purchase certain items because of the popularity. The other thing I did not realize was that IKEA sold Halloween, that is so cool and they have the cutest products! So thank you, thank you for sharing your finds, thank you for being a fantastic RUclipsr and thank you for being real. I find your content very fun to watch. Thank you Adam the Woo for sharing your friends with us, one great RUclipsr leads to many others! ;) Much love to you Cris!🥰
I’m sorry those store associates had to do that. They need to be aware of their customers and surroundings and keep it to themselves. Don’t let them get you down!!! I don’t particularly love Halloween, but I love fall. I LOVE watching your videos because of your personality and your commentary 💗
Just found your channel and just wanted to say I love you guys and forget all the haters out there. I think you do a great job and I look forward to your videos. Everyone has their own style and that’s good enough. As someone who has been criticized my whole life and put down for being who I am. I have finally learned to just live and scroll past all the negative people. My response now is simply OK and I just keep going about my business. Happy with who I am. Keep your head up and keep doing you. Because it is enough simply to be you. Happy Spooky season🎃
Cris, congrats to you and Jay for becoming Costco members! You will find that you’re going to save a LOT of money shopping there. As long as you have the storage space, buying in bulk is the way to go! About Halloween Haters…you’re absolutely right! Some people are NEVER happy unless they are being demeaning or putting others down. That’s because their lives are so cold, empty, and meaningless, the only “Joy” they can get is making others miserable. Ignore them and stay away from such types. Their Negativity will be their own downfall eventually. Always follow your own Happiness, look for what Floats your Boat, and keep on Halloween Hunting! 🎃👻💀 I love Spooky Season and always look forward to your Spooky content and Halloween Hunting videos. Props to you! 👏👏👏👏
Loved the video. So glad I stayed until the end. I was feeling very alone and ostracized yesterday and I kinda needed that pep talk so THANK YOU!! You make a big difference in our lives and you are so special! 🦇
Just wanted to return the love Cris and let you know that a lot of your Halloween merch vids inspired me to buy from Micheals, At Home, and Cracker Barrel! I’ve always wanted to buy Halloween merch, but I was almost always too late and had no idea they were even out as early as Summer. Thank you for always spreading the word and keeping the spirit of Halloween alive. Watching your vids keeps me company at work and at home. Hope to see more from you from here on out!
I love the pink Halloween. I’m a goth Goil but pink it my favorite color. I’m so grateful to my parents growing up, made Halloween so much fun. Mom made our costumes and daddy took us trick or treating. Halloween is special in my heart because of the memories and I love the decor.
Hi Cris from England 😁 I'm new to your channel and have been binging your videos at every opportunity! I love your style and content 😍 thank you for sharing xxx
OMG I finally found someone in Florida! I just subscribed! I love watching Spooky RUclipsrs like Jade the Libra and others but you're the first one I found from Florida lol. I'm in Lakeland and haven't seen any Halloween out here yet, hopefully soon though
Thank you Cris for your videos, they really inspire fellow spooky lovers and collectors like me. Don't let retail staff get you down. We are all here to have our own fun and you do a great job, love your attitude!
Oh I’ve heard a couple employees say similar, and my big mouth said out loud, “ I love it and I’m SO excited” while holding Halloween decor in my arms and in my cart. 😌
Hi Cris. Just wanted to let you know I just started watching you this summer. I love you and everything you do for all of us Halloween nuts. I do understand how some people might see it’s too early for Halloween but do I care ? No, I’m use to negative comments too, but they don’t bother me I love what I love. Not everyone has to. Besides Halloween is getting bigger and bigger, stores wouldn’t be putting items on the shelves if they don’t think they can sell them this early. Most places sell out very fast. Halloween is a lot of work for me ,all the trips to storage ,unpacking, putting things together, putting it all out. Buying more stuff, well that’s the fun part. But every year all the compliments I get from the kids and adults before and on Halloween makes it worth it. That’s why I do it , my grandson loves it my daughter loves it and that’s really enough for me. I’m 58 I’ve got back issues, knee issues among other things but I’ll do this as long as I can. I love you and your passion, we can relate. So for every negative comment you hear about Halloween remember the thousands of us that love every second of it even this early!!!
Cris, there are many people like you so it is great that you tube can bring us all together. I have always LOVED halloween and cheered during summer when it came out. You are not alone!! Please keep doing what you are doing as you are inspiring thousands of people. 😃
Great job on your PSA lol. I have zero craps to give for those people that judge us Halloween hunters. I am sure some other viewers probably needed to hear that message. Great job!
The lil spooky ikea ghost mugs, that’s how I feel in the morning before my coffee 😅👻 the flashing spooky houses are so cool, me and my girls spray painted a three story dolls house black, and we still need to add so much more to it this year
CRIS!! You are Adorable! As well as Jay. I love watching your videos. It makes me so excited to go find these items in the real. I'm 35 and have been Obsessed with Halloween since I was born. I wear halloween clothes all year, and have a pumpkin purse. I've had people comment on my purse negatively and positively. I don't care what anyone thinks because it makes me so happy to be me. I've always felt alone too. I've never had many friends, but with these videos you do on RUclips, it makes me feel connected. Like, oh hey, there's someone else just like me. AND I want that Western towel set you just bought! ❤😊
Almost every time I go out to look for Halloween/dark decor, I hear the "I can't believe Halloween stuff is out already" always within earshot from me. I simply say " I LOVE IT!!" Just means more for us all. Just going out to look for Halloween makes our spooky hearts happy, and that's what gets me through summer. 💯💀🖤
Halloween decor is literally the only thing that lets me get. Through. SUMMER! Thank you for all your hard work sharing it with us! Also, your hair looks amazing braided like that.
Your raven planter looks amazing with the black plant! I am beyond over the moon seeing Halloween, I work with people that are not 😂 Bring on our joy !
Hey Cris! I’m Kris from Jupiter FL! Do you girl!!!!! Halloween is my favorite holiday too. I get the same thing when I go out and I just smile and say have yourself a great day! 🎉🎉🎉 Keep on shopping! Love to you and Jay 🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻💀💀💀👻🎃💕
So excited to see The Spookytown stuff out already this season! Everything looks great, no dead batteries or wear and tear in sight. thanks for taking us there.
I love your videos, and I also just love hearing your thought processes even if it’s with something negative. You see the best in things and it beautiful! I also felt very relieved that I am not the only person that goes Halloween hunting after therapy haha! 😁
Thank you for such great videos! I had a grumpy cashier tell me it is too early for Halloween as well. You just have to laugh at them. Keep up the great enthusiasm.
Thanks for all you do, and thanks for the PSA at the end. Sometimes I need to hear that I'm not alone, and that the people who try and tear me down don't have to get their way. Much love to you!
Thank you Cris for going and checking these stores. Not all of us can go shopping frequently to see if Halloween has hit the stores. I appreciate you and just enjoy your spooky content. All these Halloween hunting vids have made me so happy. I lost my Mom this January and she and I love Halloween and the Fall. Myself and my 10 yr old son are October babies and we just love the Fall season. I miss my Mom so much and I kinda am nervous how I'm gonna get through this Fall without her😢Your vids are definitely making me look forward to Fall/Halloween and I thank you!🎃👻
Hey Ashley, I'm so sorry that your mum has passed, I found the first Halloween so daunting after I lost my dad and I realised that a lot of the old Halloween was about story telling and gathering and remembering loved ones, you could incorporate the idea of a Hacienda and put mum's pics up and some nice trinkets around it and a wee candle or something. Or just find a way to add elements of her with whatever your vibe is if the Hacienda idea isn't for you. Sending good vibes your way.
@MissFreyja Aw, thank you🩷I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. I know this Fall season is going to be extra hard not having her here to enjoy it with me. Thank you for the lovely advice and suggestions, sweet soul🎃
Hi Cris, you nailed it about Home Goods, Marshall’s and TJ Max. I went to 5 stores the other day and the only thing that I saw was the frankie hand soap. Each store had tons of clearance but nothing Halloween themed. I did find that the stores that have Marshall’s/Home Goods had some Halloween. When I did purchase some things in different stores the cashier would say something about me purchasing halloween themed items in July and my response was if your store had more Halloween decor on the shelves I would buy more! I get why some people might frown upon it but you’re absolutely right, it brings us happiness and joy, and plus it gives us an opportunity to get the items that we want and not get stuck in aisle full of shopping carts. So if it brings us spooky people happiness so be it! Loved your new halloween mugs from Ikea and your howdy ghouls kitchen towel. Super cute. 👻🎃💀🕸️
Absolutely Luv Halloween 👻 decor Hunting. My daughter and I usually are looking for one or two pieces, but it’s so much fun seeing all the cool stuff. We just luv getting up early catching the Sunrise 🌅 and setting out to check out all the awesome Halloween finds. 👻. Thank you so much for sharing, we both enjoy watching your videos too. 🎃 Happy Hauntings!🦇
Ahh it’s kinda cool to see a store that I can go to, here in the uk we have; the range, home bargains, Poundland, matalan, b&m, tk maxx, and next for autumnal spooky goodness 🖤✨
I love Halloween. I just feel it's too early and I'm afraid I'll be done with it before it's even here and it's the one part of the year where I'm actually thriving mentally. The weather, the decorations and the overall vibe. The pumpkin patches, haunted houses...etc. I'm code Orange shopping regardless. I'm not missing out!!!!
Oh my gosh I'm going to cry! Thank you for sharing this, and absolutely never let anyone take away your joy. I remember years and years ago, I was working as a hostess in a Mexican restaurant in NM, and girl asked me what my favorite holiday was, and I excitedly was like "HALLOWEEN!!"... then she backed away from me and told me I was weird. I was like 20yrs old. At that time, at first, I felt deflated, then I brushed it off and told her she's the weird one 😆 I've been watching your stuff for I think about a couple years now, but took me a bit to subscribe. I love your content so so much!! I wish I had the confidence to do it too, but I hate being on camera. Keep being amazing!!
I’m sorry that idiot cashier made you feel bad. I had been in retail for 20 years and that’s not the attitude for selling. Your videos do make me happy. My life has completely changed this last year, I only leave our home once a week maybe and it’s to the grocery store. I don’t have transportation and my husband loathes shopping. Your channel has been refreshing to me like a window to the outside world. I thank you for that. I love seeing the newest decor that come out. I do miss that part of retail. Happy Hunting!
My husband has joked about my Halloween obsession for almost 31 years but, he totally knows how much it makes me happy 😊🎃 We walked into At Home the other day and some other Halloween freaks were going crazy in the Halloween aisles…every year he laughs and says I’m more convinced that Halloween is climbing up the holiday ladder second to Christmas 🎄🎃
Hello cris as a vintage Halloween/ other holidays fanatic I get you I get super excited for the holidays everybody I know thinks I'm odd but I don't care there is nothing more better seeing holiday cheer in your local stores.
The cashier at Joann’s that I went to the other day was so pleased to see me buying my Halloween items. I was prepared for comments about it being too early.
Another video!!! Girly, you are on fire!! Love Tampa Jay's t-shirt. I think it's incredibly unprofessional for store employees to have an attitude over seasonal decor of any kind. Honestly, I feel it's a waste of time for fellow customers to express their disdain for seasonal items and the people who are happy about it. Why poo-poo on another person's joy? Don't let the butt-holes of the world slow you down. We're all out here with you! 💜 Edited to add: for my fellow IKEA folks who don't have a store in their local area, some of the Halloween stuff is already on the website, just input Halloween in the search bar on the website and whatever they have instock online will pop up.
Social media has made some people bullies behind a keyboard because they aren't held accountable for the ugliness. You are amazing. My son goes through all those things too. Just because he thinks differently or has his beautiful quirks...he does get judged. I tell him he is beautiful...smart and has so much to offer the world. So do you Chris. You are a beautiful soul. We really look forward to every video. Obviously Halloween is a favorite lol. "We are the music makers and the dreamers of dreams" Willy Wonka. Hugs!🖤🐈⬛🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Julia ❤
I went to Home Goods today, and they had a teeny tiny bit of Halloween stuff out. I bought the lady skull bust- she's so pretty. I hugged her. The cashier said I can't believe we have Halloween out already. I said we are way behind here in Jersey lol. I I watch a lot of RUclips, and it's been out since May. She said back in my day it came out in September. I said me too. School started after Labor Day then out came the costumes and candy and it was exciting. But I want her and if I don't get her now I won't get her. She said you are absolutely right and I hope you enjoy her. I said thank you I will. Then she said come back in August for Christmas stuff and gave me a wink. She was actually pleasant to talk to. I didn't feel she was judging me at all. That doesn't mean others aren't jerks. And I stayed until the end and you make our lives better too ❤
I live in Florida as well, and even though there was an aisle of Halloween at Marshalls and Home Goods it was slim pickings. I was especially surprised at Home goods. I felt bad for the workers, because it seemed as though much of Summer was still there and not much space to put things in. It just appeared as though even with the red stickers, stuff wasn't going
Hey Cris, how fun does the old Costco look In the US, you're going to have some fun times with halloween and Christmas when it comes too in that shop! I get the annoyance of the stuff not being there, I've had nothing but fails, I did see a tiny amount in TKM on my birthday on Monday but not much, going to a bigger place tomorrow with some hopes for cute things. I have to say I love the halloween community, we have fun and the way that folk make things look so good it blows my mind. Love that I found your channel and it's spooky fun. Also when it comes to Socials, if you are getting any proper nasty comments have your trusted pal go through and delete the nastiness and then you can do the rest, no need to tank your mental health in that way, you are giving us so much for free! 🖤👻🖤
That has not happened to me. I would have said well it’s a good thing Halloween is out so the sales continue and people have jobs. No sales. No jobs. So yes very happy it’s out. 😊 thank you for sharing! Love your videos Cris! 💀🎃👻❤️❤️❤️
Stores have also been holding off to put out Halloween decor. I was at World Market this weekend and the cashier told me they received the Halloween decor already but it won’t be out until next month, so they are definitely waiting.
I’m in nyc ,went to home goods,tjmaxx,Marshall’s last weekend and No luck. Nothing available. So you’re right , only shipments are going to New Jersey apparently.
Congrats on joining the club! 😁My husband and I joined a few months ago when they built one like a mile from where we live. I bought a Disney Haunted Village display from them last year in July online. It's super cute.
Ha ha. I too was in Home Goods today and finally finally saw Halloween. I was so so excited and a lady passed me complaining and fussing about it being too early, how ridiculous it was, and I'm standing there with my arms full. I just laughed and said I've been actively looking for weeks so I'm thrilled. Glad we don't all think the same way, and more for me. 😂
Just have to tell you that I love your videos. You are so adorable. Don’t let other’s opinions affect you. Now, with that said, when I saw your first video this year, wasn’t too sure about your new hair, but u have to say, it is very cool. Love it. ❤️❤️ My neighbor asked me when fall officially begins for me. I told her July 5th. Actually, autumn is an entire year for me, but I do make room for a few other seasons. Could live without summer though. I too live in Florida. 🥵.
The Disney Halloween looks really nice. You are now Costco members, Great Scott. First I ever heard of GIGI. One thing I saw online was Get In, Get Involved but not sure it's that here with this or not.
Cris the Girlll I can't wait for Spirit Halloween to open it's only a few minutes away, I can walk to the store! I heard Spirit Halloween Will open in August Yay👽 Thank you Cris I appreciate you ,you are really Exciting & cool,Peace✌
I called Homegoods to ask Halloween in stock , Lady was definitely annoyed at question 😂😂😂,gonna have to check myself 😂🎃🎃🎃love it all Cris , u brighten my day Thank you 🙏 🤗
Cris, you don't know how excited I get when a new Halloween vlog shows up. My Marshall's and Home Goods have no signs of Halloween yet in my part of the New England states. By the way, I love the Skeleton T-shirt Tampa Jay is wearing. I have to find a similar one for my husband to match with his tattoo.
I love Halloween 🎃 I shop on line a lot and find Halloween items all year long..lol😊I love all Holidays..but must admit Halloween is number 1 for me..❤
Happy Halloween! Thanks all for watching!🎃🖤

Yep my mom was (RIP) Grandma to my son and Gigi (GG) for Great Grandma to my granddaughter.
I was going to say the same thing about Gigi and her little pumpkins.
Ahhhhhh ok that makes sense!!! I’ve never heard that term before for a grandmother! That is so cute🖤 thank you so much for the kind words!!
My nieces grandson calls her that. That’s how I learned.
I'm a Christian and we are such Halloween junkies....just because we all love Halloween doesn't mean we all go out and do bad things lol and are bad people.

Found your channel through Tampa Jay and I have to say you two are a breath of fresh air !
Aw thank you so much!!🖤
Great job on your PSA lol. I have zero craps to give for those people that judge us Halloween hunters. I am sure some other viewers probably needed to hear that message. Great job!
Gigi to the Cutest Pumpkins In The Patch = Grandmother to the Cutest Grandkids. :) Thank you for your videos!
The lil spooky ikea ghost mugs, that’s how I feel in the morning before my coffee 😅👻 the flashing spooky houses are so cool, me and my girls spray painted a three story dolls house black, and we still need to add so much more to it this year
I think I'm gonna make a spooky wreath this year. You've convinced me. 😆 I may record the process and post it. 👍
CRIS!! You are Adorable! As well as Jay. I love watching your videos. It makes me so excited to go find these items in the real. I'm 35 and have been Obsessed with Halloween since I was born. I wear halloween clothes all year, and have a pumpkin purse. I've had people comment on my purse negatively and positively. I don't care what anyone thinks because it makes me so happy to be me. I've always felt alone too. I've never had many friends, but with these videos you do on RUclips, it makes me feel connected. Like, oh hey, there's someone else just like me.

I love the black striped mug - that is definitely on my radar for my next IKEA run
Happy Halloween! Love your videos! 🧡
So glad that we're finally getting halloween stuff out as early as they put the christmas stuff out!
I love your videos, and I also just love hearing your thought processes even if it’s with something negative. You see the best in things and it beautiful!
I also felt very relieved that I am not the only person that goes Halloween hunting after therapy haha! 😁
Thank you for such great videos! I had a grumpy cashier tell me it is too early for Halloween as well. You just have to laugh at them. Keep up the great enthusiasm.
Thanks for all you do, and thanks for the PSA at the end. Sometimes I need to hear that I'm not alone, and that the people who try and tear me down don't have to get their way. Much love to you!
Ooooh goodness the ceramic items at IKEA are amazing
Dude they hit it out of the park!! So cute!!🎃🖤
Thank you Cris for going and checking these stores. Not all of us can go shopping frequently to see if Halloween has hit the stores. I appreciate you and just enjoy your spooky content. All these Halloween hunting vids have made me so happy. I lost my Mom this January and she and I love Halloween and the Fall. Myself and my 10 yr old son are October babies and we just love the Fall season. I miss my Mom so much and I kinda am nervous how I'm gonna get through this Fall without her😢Your vids are definitely making me look forward to Fall/Halloween and I thank you!🎃👻
Hey Ashley, I'm so sorry that your mum has passed, I found the first Halloween so daunting after I lost my dad and I realised that a lot of the old Halloween was about story telling and gathering and remembering loved ones, you could incorporate the idea of a Hacienda and put mum's pics up and some nice trinkets around it and a wee candle or something. Or just find a way to add elements of her with whatever your vibe is if the Hacienda idea isn't for you. Sending good vibes your way.
@MissFreyja Aw, thank you🩷I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. I know this Fall season is going to be extra hard not having her here to enjoy it with me. Thank you for the lovely advice and suggestions, sweet soul🎃
Great buy on the bowls and mugs at IKEA!
Thanks Chris! Exactly no one will rain on my spooky parade! We all know there is a huge community of Spooky Ghouls on Utube.😂👻🎃
Hi Cris, you nailed it about Home Goods, Marshall’s and TJ Max. I went to 5 stores the other day and the only thing that I saw was the frankie hand soap.
Each store had tons of clearance but nothing Halloween themed.
I did find that the stores that have Marshall’s/Home Goods had some Halloween.
When I did purchase some things in different stores the cashier would say something about me purchasing halloween themed items in July and my response was if your store had more Halloween decor on the shelves I would buy more!
I get why some people might frown upon it but you’re absolutely right, it brings us happiness and joy, and plus it gives us an opportunity to get the items that we want and not get stuck in aisle full of shopping carts.
So if it brings us spooky people happiness so be it!
Loved your new halloween mugs from Ikea and your howdy ghouls kitchen towel. Super cute. 👻🎃💀🕸️
Love this video cris the girl both you and tampa jay are two of my favourite youtubers. ❤
Love it when you come to my neck of the woods wished I could run into you meet you guys in person!! What an honor that would be!! Love you both
Thanks for the video. Tampa Bay area stores are really slow getting out the Halloween items.👻🦇
Absolutely Luv Halloween 👻 decor Hunting. My daughter and I usually are looking for one or two pieces, but it’s so much fun seeing all the cool stuff. We just luv getting up early catching the Sunrise 🌅 and setting out to check out all the awesome Halloween finds. 👻. Thank you so much for sharing, we both enjoy watching your videos too. 🎃 Happy Hauntings!🦇
I enjoy watching your videos!! Love your personality 😊 and I appreciate your length of videos alot of them just be about 20 min 😅
The spooky doormat and the mugs. 🥺🖤 I’m so thankful you posted your last IKEA video, I got my blanket that day and they’re already sold out!
Ahh it’s kinda cool to see a store that I can go to, here in the uk we have; the range, home bargains, Poundland, matalan, b&m, tk maxx, and next for autumnal spooky goodness 🖤✨
I love Halloween. I just feel it's too early and I'm afraid I'll be done with it before it's even here and it's the one part of the year where I'm actually thriving mentally. The weather, the decorations and the overall vibe. The pumpkin patches, haunted houses...etc. I'm code Orange shopping regardless. I'm not missing out!!!!
Oh my gosh I'm going to cry! Thank you for sharing this, and absolutely never let anyone take away your joy. I remember years and years ago, I was working as a hostess in a Mexican restaurant in NM, and girl asked me what my favorite holiday was, and I excitedly was like "HALLOWEEN!!"... then she backed away from me and told me I was weird. I was like 20yrs old. At that time, at first, I felt deflated, then I brushed it off and told her she's the weird one 😆
I've been watching your stuff for I think about a couple years now, but took me a bit to subscribe. I love your content so so much!! I wish I had the confidence to do it too, but I hate being on camera. Keep being amazing!!
I’m sorry that idiot cashier made you feel bad. I had been in retail for 20 years and that’s not the attitude for selling. Your videos do make me happy. My life has completely changed this last year, I only leave our home once a week maybe and it’s to the grocery store. I don’t have transportation and my husband loathes shopping. Your channel has been refreshing to me like a window to the outside world. I thank you for that. I love seeing the newest decor that come out. I do miss that part of retail. Happy Hunting!
Thank you for what you do. Your talk was uplifting. 😎
My husband has joked about my Halloween obsession for almost 31 years but, he totally knows how much it makes me happy 😊🎃 We walked into At Home the other day and some other Halloween freaks were going crazy in the Halloween aisles…every year he laughs and says I’m more convinced that Halloween is climbing up the holiday ladder second to Christmas 🎄🎃
Hello cris as a vintage Halloween/ other holidays fanatic I get you I get super excited for the holidays everybody I know thinks I'm odd but I don't care there is nothing more better seeing holiday cheer in your local stores.
Cris great video and thank you for bringing us along 🎃👻👽💀☠️😱🤡
The cashier at Joann’s that I went to the other day was so pleased to see me buying my Halloween items. I was prepared for comments about it being too early.
Yey! Thanks for sharing spooky season with us! ❤
Halloween and Christmas are my favorite Holidays I am already buying Halloween things so keep it up !!!
Chris please don’t let anyone steal your Halloween sunshine! !!! 🎃 👻
Hi again Chris & Jay! Lovely to see you both! Happy Halloween! 🖤🇬🇧🎃🦩
I absolutely LOVE your home decorations 💖
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻🎃👻🎃☠️🦇🦇🕷️🕸️🪄🪦⚰️
Another video!!! Girly, you are on fire!! Love Tampa Jay's t-shirt. I think it's incredibly unprofessional for store employees to have an attitude over seasonal decor of any kind. Honestly, I feel it's a waste of time for fellow customers to express their disdain for seasonal items and the people who are happy about it. Why poo-poo on another person's joy?
Don't let the butt-holes of the world slow you down. We're all out here with you! 💜
Edited to add: for my fellow IKEA folks who don't have a store in their local area, some of the Halloween stuff is already on the website, just input Halloween in the search bar on the website and whatever they have instock online will pop up.
Social media has made some people bullies behind a keyboard because they aren't held accountable for the ugliness.
You are amazing. My son goes through all those things too. Just because he thinks differently or has his beautiful quirks...he does get judged.
I tell him he is beautiful...smart and has so much to offer the world.
So do you Chris. You are a beautiful soul. We really look forward to every video. Obviously Halloween is a favorite lol.

"seeing the halloween makes me so depressed" ...meanwhile seeing halloween decor cures my depression lol
I love both yalls hair!
You have the seasonal group of people and the 365 halloween people. It's a lifestyle!
I went to Home Goods today, and they had a teeny tiny bit of Halloween stuff out. I bought the lady skull bust- she's so pretty. I hugged her. The cashier said I can't believe we have Halloween out already. I said we are way behind here in Jersey lol. I I watch a lot of RUclips, and it's been out since May. She said back in my day it came out in September. I said me too. School started after Labor Day then out came the costumes and candy and it was exciting. But I want her and if I don't get her now I won't get her. She said you are absolutely right and I hope you enjoy her. I said thank you I will. Then she said come back in August for Christmas stuff and gave me a wink. She was actually pleasant to talk to. I didn't feel she was judging me at all. That doesn't mean others aren't jerks. And I stayed until the end and you make our lives better too ❤
And I love Christmas it's just what comes after that long cold winter.halloween during the is perfect weather to me.
I ordered that candle holder from IKEA, you sold me in the other video. Spooky trees and animals a year round kool item.
Luv your end of video pep talks in the car 👍🏻🌹
Cris I love your July Halloween 🎃 shopping u make me smile. Thank u . I buy all my Halloween spooky items now u might not finding later. 👻💀🎃🦇🖤🖤🖤
I live in Florida as well, and even though there was an aisle of Halloween at Marshalls and Home Goods it was slim pickings. I was especially surprised at Home goods. I felt bad for the workers, because it seemed as though much of Summer was still there and not much space to put things in. It just appeared as though even with the red stickers, stuff wasn't going
Hey Cris, how fun does the old Costco look In the US, you're going to have some fun times with halloween and Christmas when it comes too in that shop! I get the annoyance of the stuff not being there, I've had nothing but fails, I did see a tiny amount in TKM on my birthday on Monday but not much, going to a bigger place tomorrow with some hopes for cute things. I have to say I love the halloween community, we have fun and the way that folk make things look so good it blows my mind. Love that I found your channel and it's spooky fun. Also when it comes to Socials, if you are getting any proper nasty comments have your trusted pal go through and delete the nastiness and then you can do the rest, no need to tank your mental health in that way, you are giving us so much for free! 🖤👻🖤
I look forward to seeing 👀 Halloween 🎃 stuff makes me spooky inside
You’re the best! Sorry that interaction caused you to feel judged. Your content and shared joy of Halloween is much appreciated!
That has not happened to me. I would have said well it’s a good thing Halloween is out so the sales continue and people have jobs. No sales. No jobs. So yes very happy it’s out. 😊 thank you for sharing! Love your videos Cris! 💀🎃👻❤️❤️❤️
Stores have also been holding off to put out Halloween decor. I was at World Market this weekend and the cashier told me they received the Halloween decor already but it won’t be out until next month, so they are definitely waiting.
I’m in nyc ,went to home goods,tjmaxx,Marshall’s last weekend and No luck. Nothing available. So you’re right , only shipments are going to New Jersey apparently.
the food looked good
Congrats on joining the club! 😁My husband and I joined a few months ago when they built one like a mile from where we live. I bought a Disney Haunted Village display from them last year in July online. It's super cute.
We are so excited!!! Literally more excited than one should be haha! Can’t wait for our first shopping trip!🖤
Ha ha. I too was in Home Goods today and finally finally saw Halloween. I was so so excited and a lady passed me complaining and fussing about it being too early, how ridiculous it was, and I'm standing there with my arms full. I just laughed and said I've been actively looking for weeks so I'm thrilled.
Glad we don't all think the same way, and more for me. 😂
Just have to tell you that I love your videos. You are so adorable. Don’t let other’s opinions affect you.
Now, with that said, when I saw your first video this year, wasn’t too sure about your new hair, but u have to say, it is very cool. Love it. ❤️❤️
My neighbor asked me when fall officially begins for me. I told her July 5th. Actually, autumn is an entire year for me, but I do make room for a few other seasons. Could live without summer though. I too live in Florida. 🥵.
Keep up the good work girl. Love you and Tampa J. You’re both a blessing. Hugs.
The Disney Halloween looks really nice. You are now Costco members, Great Scott. First I ever heard of GIGI. One thing I saw online was Get In, Get Involved but not sure it's that here with this or not.
Cris the Girlll I can't wait for Spirit Halloween to open it's only a few minutes away, I can walk to the store! I heard Spirit Halloween Will open in August Yay👽 Thank you Cris I appreciate you ,you are really Exciting & cool,Peace✌
Queen Halloween ❤ can’t believe we are members now!
I called Homegoods to ask Halloween in stock , Lady was definitely annoyed at question 😂😂😂,gonna have to check myself 😂🎃🎃🎃love it all Cris , u brighten my day Thank you 🙏 🤗
Cris, you don't know how excited I get when a new Halloween vlog shows up. My Marshall's and Home Goods have no signs of Halloween yet in my part of the New England states. By the way, I love the Skeleton T-shirt Tampa Jay is wearing. I have to find a similar one for my husband to match with his tattoo.
I always felt I didn’t fit in anywhere. Even now at 61 I can feel like that.
I really enjoyed this video thank you
I love Halloween 🎃 I shop on line a lot and find Halloween items all year long..lol😊I love all Holidays..but must admit Halloween is number 1 for me..❤
