I came home from a great day at the Ren Faire to see a giant package waiting on my doorstep. My husband asked, "What did you order from Amazon?" "I forget" We loled at the SP reference come to life.

When I picked up the box and saw my username referenced I realized it was my reddit trick-or-treat exchange! I got to explain the whole idea to my cousins who joined us for the faire and showed off the gift.

To start, under the brown shipping paper it was a really neat box. It was like the kind of gift box you see on TV where you just unwrap the bow. It's a nice little detail.

Then I saw the bones. My cousins were confused about why someone would send me something like this... was it a threat? All I could say was "No - look, there's candy, too!" Candy makes everything less frightening. :-)

There is also this cool light up pumpkin with a spider on it. I have a huge aversion to spiders and this time of year when wolf spiders like to seek shelter in warm places, like my home. Perhaps by lighting up this, they will take it as a warning.

And the gummy candies are addictive. They will not make it to Halloween, I fear. Maybe I'll save a pack or two for the kids I like. :-) My cousins were so impressed by the idea of the exchange that they want to get into it, too!

Runswithsquirrels, thank you so much! I love the gifts and you will certainly help make my home spookier.
