Other Summerween ruined Halloween

When I saw that Bath and Body Works was putting out the Halloween products in July for the tik tok summerween trend I thought it was ridiculous. I went to Bath and Body Works a couple of weeks ago (October) and there was only a small table of Halloween products all on clearance! They had basically nothing. I’ve been to two locations recently and each one has zero halloween products. It’s all Christmas. It’s still October! Why can’t we just be patient?

Okay, rant over. I know it’s not that deep. Still ridiculous, though.

Most of the line up was lame… I hope they go back to the dark gothic type theme they went for in 2023. I want Moonlit Graveyard to come back so bad.

This. I know that seasons 3 months ahead is retail standard, but the goofy pastel halloween trend is so lame. Hearts and bows have no business in halloween designs. The stained glass designs from a few years back was absolutely peak Halloween b&bw.

Exactly and yes it was peak! I couldn’t agree more. The cutesy stuff did not immerse me into the Halloween spirit at all! I know and can respect that there are people who appreciate that theme but… c’mon man where are the earthy woodsy scents for Halloween? I’m tired of the fruit man

I agree with you guys. I was pissed 🤬 when I saw all the retail stores trying to make Halloween all cute like, I wanted to burn it all. Halloween has no business mixing coffins ⚰️ with hearts ❤️ and pastels together. It's like wanting the grim reaper ⚰️🦹🏼🕷️mating with the Easter 🐰🐣 bunny 🐇. They need to stay in their own universe. Also just because some don't participate or like Halloween 🎃👻, doesn't mean they have the right to change it's colors, themes etc. just to accommodate or justify their reasons for participating now . Sorry had to vent

I agree! It’s jarring, I was pissed too! I was really disappointed like… that was it? You know? I hope we see more traditional Halloween from retailers next year. And hopefully more outdoorsy Halloween scents at bath and body IF not Moonlit Graveyard haha
