Updated Mar 06, 202517 Cute Halloween Gifts for the Girlfriend Who Lives for Spooky Season
These quirky picks are all treats, no tricks.
Spooky season is upon us, and there are tons of ways to celebrate this year. From the release of Hocus Pocus 2 (finally!) to a slew of new true crime documentaries on our favorite streaming services, the month of October promises to be a fun one. If your boo happens to be a Halloween fanatic, now is also the perfect time to show her just how much you appreciate her, ahem, dark side with one of these cute Halloween gifts for your girlfriend. From age-reversing skincare that would make the Sanderson sisters jealous to costume bling she'll want to rock ASAP, these thematic gifts are a scary good way to bring a bit of playful spookiness to your partner's life.
1. Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs
'Tis the season—for all things pumpkin spice! If your girlfriend can't go a day without lighting a pumpkin spice candle (or taking down a few pumpkin spice lattes), why not gift her one more way to indulge her obsession? These cheeky bath bombs from Rusted Acre Soap Co. will scent her bath with seasonal spices while turning it into a festive orange hue.
2. Spooky Slippers
Warm her heart—and her toes—with a thoughtful loungewear gift she can enjoy all October long. These furry "Boo!" slippers from Target are extra plush and comfy, thanks to a memory foam insole and velour lining, so you can pretty much guarantee she'll never want to take them off. They're the perfect accessory for answering the door for trick-or treaters on Halloween night.

3. Glow-in-the-Dark Earrings
October is 31 days long—and that means 31 different opportunities to dress in her Halloween finest. BaubleBar's statement earrings are more sweet than spooky, but there's more than meets the eye. When she wears them somewhere dark, like a haunted house or autumn bonfire, they'll illuminate like magic. We're enchanted by these Bad Witch Behavior studs, but you can also choose from glowing hoops, ghosts, bats, jack-o'-lanterns or seasonal Mickey Mouse designs.
4. Fanciful Preserved Rose
Give a classic flower gift a spooky edge with this black Eternity Rose from Venus ET Fleur. Featuring a singular rose (which will last over a year with the proper care) in a Parisian-style hatbox "vase," this moody present is a romantic—if not slightly eerie—way to express your everlasting love for your partner.
5. Witches Brew Cocktail Starter
Ahead of her next coven meeting—or book club—this month, give her this scary-delicious bottle of cocktail mix from Williams Sonoma, appropriately dubbed Witches Brew. The bewitching blend of blackberry, blood orange and lemon juice will help her conjure up bespoke cocktails (or equally delicious mocktails) and impress her pals in the process.
6. Pumpkin Spice Lip Mask
A change in seasons can bring with it a slew of lifestyle changes, skincare being among the biggest. Help her lock in moisture on her lips (and indulge her pumpkin spice tendencies!) with this moisturizing mask from LANEIGE. It boasts the same cult-favorite formula as the original, but with a distinctly seasonal scent and flavor.
7. Skeleton Couple Sweatshirt
Help her show her love for spooky season—and your relationship—with this cheeky skeleton lovers sweatshirt. Available in a beautiful bone white (see what we did there?) as well as a few other colors, it's the perfect gothic tribute to your undying love and a very cozy fall gift for your girlfriend.
8. Halloween S'mores Kit
Upgrade your next Friday night together with a Halloween-themed activity. This sensational gift set from City Bonfires comes with everything you need for roast-anywhere s'mores, including ghost-shaped marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, skewers, a lighter and a portable fire pit. Share the snack—and some hair-raising stories—under the moonlight for a scary romantic date idea.
9. Haunted Candy Assortment
If you're searching for another edible Halloween gift idea, you can't go wrong with delightfully weird and delicious candy. This Sugarfina discovery box has eight drawers filled with thematic treats, from gummy Zombie Brains to chocolate Graveyard Cookies. Beware: She may not want to share.
10. Silk Sleep Mask

Keep your girlfriend from tossing and turning all night (and avoid some truly scary mornings) with a luxe sleep mask. This mask from Blissy is handmade from silk to help block out light, promote tranquility and lower the risk of wrinkles and damage to the delicate skin around her eyes. Trust us: She'll sleep like the living dead with this on her team.
11. Scarily Stylish Cloche
Haunt the halls this Halloween with eerie decor that would look right at home in a gothic crypt. This luxury vintage-inspired cloche—which encloses black iron roses, foliage and butterflies—is uniquely elegant and beautiful, but takes on a nightmarish appeal she'll find absolutely ghastly (and in this case, that's a good thing).
12. Boo-tiful Bag
She may be too old for trick-or-treating, but you can bet she'll carry around this frightfully cute tote all month long. Made from durable palm leaf and embroidered with a bat and the phrase "Boo," it's the ideal spot for her to stash her go-to accessories (and maybe a few pieces of candy) during the week or a Halloween-themed bar crawl.
13. Spiced Cider Candle
Scents can be very evocative of a time and a place, and this warm blend from Thymes will instantly transport her to Halloweentown. Notes of apple and bourbon meld with cardamom and clove for a bone-chillingly delicious flame she'll want to light all month long. Bonus: The cauldron-like copper vessel means it looks just as good on display as it does when lit.
14. Monster Sheet Masks
Help her embrace her ghoulish beauty with a collection of animated sheet masks themed to her favorite haunted holiday. This set comes with nine masks meant to bring her back from the dead after a long week, and each targets a different need. The ghost mask incorporates egg whites to reduce the appearance of pores and excess oil; the pumpkin relies on the iconic gourd to nourish and soften skin; and lastly, the bat turns to black-as-night charcoal to detoxify and remove built-up dirt.
15. Costume Bling
The countdown is on to October 31 and we'd say there's a good chance your Halloween-obsessed girlfriend has already picked out what she's going to wear. Instead of trying to gift the costume connoisseur something that'll make her change her mind, deck her out with face bling she can rock the rest of the week in the lead-up to the big day. These charming face jewels from Urban Outfitters will help her embody the likeness of a cat, cheetah and more—in a grown-up, Instagrammable way.
16. Snake Stash Tray
If the top of her vanity or dresser is more frightful than functional, this serpentine dish could be just the Halloween gift she needs for an organizational makeover. Sized at a roomy 11 inches wide, it's the ideal spot to stash jewelry, sunglasses and anything else that she needs to corral. Better yet, it's creepy enough to play into her love for Halloween, but generic enough to stay out all year long.
17. Seasonal Nail Stickers
Is your girlfriend already saving TikTok videos as inspiration for her Halloween mani? Encourage her to sharpen her claws for the season with an epic set of themed nail decals. The offerings in this 1500-plus sticker set range from cheeky carved pumpkins to creepy skeletons, each of which can be applied using just tweezers and a top coat. Gift them in time for her next nail appointment or pair the collection with a bottle of black nail polish to encourage some at-home self-care.
