In the past I've complained a lot about shops offering too much low quality tat at Halloween, but so far this autumn I've seen an improvement. The photo above shows stoneware cauldron mugs on a shelf in Tesco, alongside some ceramic pumpkin jars. They seem to be good quality and should last for years whether you want to use them to sip a brew, as scrying bowls, or for other kinds of spellwork.
I didn't buy one as I already have a cauldron mug, but these seem more tasteful than the one I bought a few years ago. You can see that here.
In general I've spotted fewer cheap plastic Halloween party decorations, which often end up in landfill soon after the end of October. While I think high street shops and supermarkets still have a long way to go to reduce the amount of plastic on sale, I'm also in favour of giving praise where improvements have been made.
What do you think? Have you spotted less Halloween tat this year? What good quality autumn fare have you noticed? Please leave a comment.
