Add some seasonal cheer with this autumn pumpkin wreath, €49.95, available in Carraig Donn stores nationwide online www.carraigdonn.com

Littlewoods Ireland have these fabulous Halloween outdoor decorating kits, a cheap and cheerful way of jazzing up the house for the little neighbourhood monsters. €18 from www.littlewoodsireland.ie

Tiger stores have these cute ghost napkins in store at the moment. 20 pieces for a whopping €1. How bad. The slice of barm brack will look lovely on them.
