When I popped into The Range last week they had started putting out their Autumn homewares range.

Homewares start to make an appearance this year

I was in a fairly small Asda earlier in the week and then in The Range on Thursday and notices a couple of homewares out on display - The Range having more out currently including the ghost and pumpkin hot water bottles.

2nd Visit to The Range

Went back into The Range the other week and took a couple more photos of items not really shown below... a wreath, Autumn wooden plaque, and a couple of displays of arts and crafts materials.

The Range start putting out their Autumn range

I needed to pop into The Range on Saturday and saw they were starting to put out some Autumnal homewares and decorations. Some nice sets of tablemats, runners, oven gloves and tea towels. Also some tealight holders, and knitted pumpkin decorations; and yet to be put out some craft items. Nothing that moved me to purchase anything so far, but I'll have another look in a week or so when everything's out.

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.

The Range Halloween 2021

I must admit I completely forgot to visit this local store until Saturday 30th by which time most of their Halloween stock would have been sold. To be honest I've never bought anything from their Halloween offerings to add to my collection, although this year it did appear from what was left that there were some different and more interesting items. Apart from the biggish figures / decorations in the first photo, in the second photo theire were the remains of more craft relatied items such as Halloween stencils and pumpkins and giant eyes that could be made, for example by crocheting.

The Range or lack of it...

The Range usually go full out with an aisle laid out as a spooky cavern or tunnel. Sadly this year at the local store there is only a display near the door made up of mainly costumes and the following pictures show the end of both aisles. Nothing for me here this year! I'm starting to wonder how much the current COVID crisis is going to be affecting supplies into shops and also demand as social distancing guidelines may prohibit many parties. I guess we'll find out over the next few weeks...

The Range - Halloween 2019

Again a shop selling a lot of costumes and decorations that don't really cut it with me. The three-headed skeleton dogs have been done to death these past few years. The only thing a bit unusual this year were these halloween metal tealight holders - one to be hung on a metal pole and the other, slightly larger to sit on a flat surface. I wasn't so keen on some of the slightly glittery parts of the witches hat, but like the pumpkin made up of thin strips of metal looks the part.

The Range Halloween 2018

I wasn't expecting much from The Range and to be honest haven't found anything to buy in this store in previous years - but that's more about me being picky and into higher quality items. They do the usual costumes and also do more of the animatronic props. Of interest this year was a Ouija Board - but it sadly looked too plastic for me. But for those creative types there were rolls of Halloween ribbon which I haven't seen anywhere else.

The wooden pumpkin face, looked quite rustic, but in my opinion was a bit too pricey and the LED lights unnecessary. It looked like the sort of thing TK Maxx would have sold at half the price and better quality.

Halloween at The Range

Another shop that's quick off the mark to get its Halloween decorations out. The Range is a huge warehouse style shop that caters for most things from art materials to furnishings to plants at normally cheap prices - so don't expect everything to be top quality or top brands. But since a lot of Halloween products are cheap and disposable it is nice to see what they have on offer.

Needless to say with all the boxes of stuff I have and the inevitable storage issues I didn't feel too tempted, but there were some items that differ from other stores. Again there are a plethora of costumes, bunting, tea light holders and wall hanging decorations. For me the dog skeleton was one of the better items, as were the giant wall hanging bat and the shower curtain.
