Halloween is quickly approaching, and it’s time to get your decorating plans going! Here’s a rundown of the items we’ve listed on our Etsy shop so far for 2022. Oh yeah, we’re doing the Etsy free shipping guarantee this year, so any orders of $35 or more get free shipping!
Small, Medium & Cross Tombstones Return
The Halloween tombstones that we sold last year are back and pretty much here to stay, especially The Original Tombstone Trio. All nine styles of small and medium tombstones are available, and still have the option for the burned RIP letters on the face. We have modified the braces on the back this year to allow for an extra inch or two of the metal stake to go into the ground for more holding power. The bases are still removable like last year, which helps the tombstones store easier when Halloween is over.
Last year (2021), we sold 7 times the number of tombstones that we sold in 2020, which was the year we first opened up the Etsy shop. We were only prepared to sell 2 times the amount of 2020, and were scrambling like mad to reclaim more wood and get orders made and shipped!
This year, we’ve prepared to sell 3 times what we sold in 2021, and when we sell out, that will be all for Halloween 2022. Fair warning, we have already sold 12% of that in just the last few weeks, and aren’t even in September yet. So, if you want to add some unique pieces to your yard that will last for years to come, get them while we have them!
X-Small Tombstones – New for 2022!
We wanted to add something that people could use as a low-cost filler in their Halloween displays. So, we came up with what we’re calling our X-Small Tombstones, which are perfect representations of the anonymous grave markers you can find in smaller cemeteries.
You can get them in the same nine styles that we offer for the small and medium tombstones. We don’t offer the RIP on them just yet, hoping to get that added as an option here pretty soon.
Even still, these little guys make great grave markers that provide a perfect accent to fill in spaces in your cemetery/graveyard display for Halloween!
Photos for Digital Downloads
We’re trying something new this year with Etsy’s capability to sell digital downloads. The first items we’ve listed (with many more to come) are a few of our favorite photos that we’ve taken over the years.
The first four are Halloween photos taken of our yard display in 2020 and 2021, select an image to see the enlargement via the listing on our shop:
The other four are some autumn/fall photos that we took at the Shades of Green Nursery in Frisco, TX, which is just cool to visit every fall. They always have so many pumpkins and flowers that it’s an autumn lover’s paradise. Select an image to see the enlargement via the listing on our shop:
We actually have a few things more in the works that we’re trying to get wrapped up and listed on the shop. Hopefully, we can get them posted here pretty soon.
Let us know what you think of the 2022 Halloween Lineup so far!
