Last month, the theme was Deep Blue, however, I did not end up getting the time to write up the box, and the October box was just too perfect to not include as apart of blogtober! Pretty Suds Fright Night bundle included lots of Halloween themed and spooky themed bombs that really seemed perfect for this time of year. From monsters to skulls to ghost, there is something for everyone in this box.

When it comes to face masks, it’s pretty clear I enjoy clay based masks best, with paper based masks being my least favorite. But sometimes, I do come across a mask just too cute and too themed to pass up, even if it is paper. While visiting the Spooky Gudetama the Lazy Egg x Artbox Cafe & Boutique earlier this month, I saw the Hello Kitty Narikiri Face Mask: Zombie and couldn’t resist the cuteness of Hello Kitty and the Halloween theme of zombie!

Earlier in the year, I wrote about the August Sibling Box for Wild & Willow. I’ve only really been writing about one of each of these activity subscription boxes until now, but there’s a solid reason for breaking that habit. The Wild & Willow October box was absolutely brilliant.
To be doubley honest with you, I nearly wrote about it last month because it had a fantastic, simple idea in there which revolved around conkers. You took the conkers, wrapped them up in tissue paper and then threw them as missiles. Conker Comets was the name, and it was incredibly simple but a really, really smart idea… especially when schools (and workplaces, I’m sure) tend to look down upon the classic lunchtime conker fights.
The October box actually looked quite light when first opened. There were less crafting activities in there than previous months, and there was visibly less produce and flowers sachets in there. That’s understandable, really, because it’s getting into the colder months now and there isn’t much hardy flora to be included now.

If you frequent this blog (or my instagram) you may have noticed that we love the Artbox Cafe! We have been there for Pusheen and Gudetama, but when Gudetama got a spooky look (and spooky treats added to the menu) we had to go back down to Brighton to try out some of the new Halloween-themed treats! Along with their regular menu of delicious treats – ice creams, cheese cakes, soups, and sandwiches, there is a select dessert menu with a drink for the spooky Autumn season.
We, of course, tried both of these desserts, as well as the Pumpkin Spice latte, and had a lovely time! As always, Claire went along with us. Let’s get into it.

I was looking for a more upscale, adult candy for this year’s Halloween. Just because kids are the ones trick or treating, doesn’t mean adults can’t have a Halloween themed candy treat! Dann came across the Pick Your Poison Boozy Truffles from Fortnum & Mason – and it seemed perfect! I’ve not had boozy truffles before, but am a big truffle fan.
These truffles weren’t overwhelmingly boozy, they tasted subtle in their alcohol-related flavors, which felt perfect for what we wanted. Our box had two truffles that were duplicated, but the rest had one of each listed. The flavors we got were: Fortnum’s Bellini Truffle (we got two of these), Pink Marc De Champagne Truffle, Fortnum’s Kir Royale Truffle, Fortnum’s London Gin with Lime (we got two of these), Milk Chocolate Port Wine Truffle, Fortnum’s London Gin with Orange, Dark Chocolate Cognac Truffle and Milk Chocolate Whisky Truffe.
