Season of the Witch: The Perfect Halloween Host Gifts

When it comes to bringing a gift for the host of the Halloween party you’re attending, we’ve selected a few options that will really stand out.

You can visit a local florist and ask for a themed floral arrangement. A bottle of something is always good, but for Halloween elevate the gift with Crystal Head Vodka, perfect for the season. Its signature skull bottle was designed by artist John Alexander. The Prisoner Wine Co. 2019 Red Blend bottle is also perfect for the occasion. If you’re an extra generous gift-giver, go all out with a Clase Azul limited edition Dia de los Muertos bottle.

Chocolates and candy are always a hit. And you can’t go wrong with chocolate selections from Disset Chocolate on the North Fork or MarieBelle in Manhattan. You can find an array of fun candy gifts at Dylan’s Candy Bar, available online or at their store in Hudson Yards in NYC, like the Shimmering Skull Cocoa Bomb or a Halloween Surprise Smash Pumpkin.

If you’re looking to bring the party games, try a Ouija Board.

Disset Chocolate offers artisanal chocolates made by the passionate chocolatier Ursula XVII, with a storefront located in Cutchogue. This Halloween Box is available in a variety of sizes for the season. $20-$35. It’s luxe. It’s creepy. It’s edible art. Take your hot cocoa to the next level with this beautifully sculpted, Shimmering Skull Cocoa Bomb from Dylan’s Candy Bar. Get into the Halloween spirit with this skull-shaped milk chocolate and marshmallow cocoa bomb. $12

This Halloween’s hottest treat from Dylan’s Candy Bar is the Halloween Surprise Smash Pumpkin. It couldn’t be more fun to break open this orange-hued white chocolate pumpkin, revealing festive sprinkled pretzels, candy corn, and Jelly Beans. All products can be shipped to your door. $65

MarieBelle, which is located in Soho, offers this 9pc Halloween Chocolate Ganache Blue Box created by founder Maribel Lieberman. $35

You’ve got questions and perhaps the spirit world has the answers. Enter the mysterious and mystifying world of the Hasbro Ouija board. $21.99
