The Range gets off to a good start

I'm usually a little critical of The Range's halloween offerings. Their decorations, as you would expect from The Range, are perhaps more on a par with Poundland and Home Bargains, but with a few more expensive items such as animatronic and light projector items, none of which has ever tempted me.

However this year as well as starting to put out such items as mentioned above, they have put out a range called the Fall Collection, which, to me, are a bit more tasteful. Ok, the autumnal wreaths are a bit plasticky, but then they are made to be reused. I mught just hold on until I see something a bit more realistic though.

There are plenty of pumpkin shaped items such as mugs or lidded bowls. It is just a shame they are white or black. The pumpkin wreath holders are worthwhile buyng for when you do get a wreath, and the clear glass stacked pumpkin container looks nice and is quite large - as to what you choose to put in it? The top two pumpkins lift off. 

There is also a grey slate pumpkin shaped serving food platter which would look good on any table display. Again hessian and fabric seems to be a theme already this year. I'm not so much a fan of the hanging wooden signs saying 'Hello Pumpkin', but I'm sure they will be snapped up as they will tastefully fit in with some peoples' furnishings.
