Halloween hunting looks a little different around Spooky Little Halloween.
This post contains affiliate links.Β See my disclaimer.
It’s early August, and I have yet to set foot in a store with Halloween decor. I just don’t feel safe going out and about with COVID-19 cases being what they are in Texas.
But even without that, I’m going to be honest: I’m a little bored with what I’ve seen via Instagram so far. A lot of the collections are similar to or the same as previous years. Colors are updated. Items are slightly tweaked. But I have yet to see more than one item that has me feeling like I need to rush out and grab it.
Maybe that’s because there are SO many more exciting items around the Internet from small businesses and creators these days.
With that in mind, we’re about to embark on my annual weekly Halloween hunting posts…but this year, we’re going small.
Every Friday now through the end of September, I’ll share one small business you can shop with online. The bonus? Every single one sells their tricks and treats ALL YEAR LONG. I hope you’ll find one or two new shops to follow, love and do business with.
Up first: my ghoul Lindsay who runs Em & Sprout.

Halloween Skater Dress
This is where it all began for me with Em & Sprout. I absolutely fell in LOVE with the print of this dress, and I’ve been obsessed with her shop ever since. GET IT HERE

Cat Magic Leggings
I need another pair of Halloween leggings like I need another hole in my head…but these are pretty dang cute. Who doesn’t need a little cat magic in their Halloween wardrobe? GET IT HERE

Lindsay has a few cute takes on some classic female characters we love in the Halloween world, like Beetlejuice’s Lydia Deetz. The perfect print for your bedroom to remind everyone how strange and unusual you are. GET IT HERE

Vintage Halloween Tote Bag

I love that you’re sharing small businesses! I’m always looking to support more small businesses & this really helped put me in the Halloween Hunting spirit. Everything you shared is so cute but I especially love those Mary Janes! I will definitely be getting a pair.
