It’s that time of year when we start stocking up on anything and everything adorable and full of Halloween spirit. While some of us have already begun baking up pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies galore, there are still some of you out there that need a bit more motivation.
Well, let me be the first to get you into gear with something I know you’re going to fall in love with: a glow-in-the-dark Hocus Pocus cup!
Hocus Pocus Cups Will Complete Your Halloween
We all love a bit of Hocus Pocus during Halloween, don’t we? Not only is it an absolute classic from our childhoods, but it immediately gets us into the mood for spooky season. Stores all over the country love to put out merch for a Hocus Pocus party like there’s no tomorrow during Halloween (like the Hocus Pocus merch at HomeGoods this year). Now Target is in on it, too.
It’s time to hop in your car and grab this four-pack of colorful Hocus Pocus cups! In each pack you’ll get two orange and two purple plastic cups that prominently display our favorite Salem witches, Winnie, Sarah and Mary Sanderson, riding on brooms and posing for the camera. You’ll also get a cup covered in little black cats and skulls. My absolute favorite!
There Are Harry Potter Cups, Too
That’s not all—you can also get Harry Potter cups designed for your inner witch or wizard. Our favorite is the Gryffindor cup, but you can get them in other colors, including, obviously, yellow, green and blue for the different Houses.
Not only are the designs ridiculously cute, but each cup comes with its own to-go lid, AND they glow in the dark! Honestly, I don’t think I could ask for anything more perfect for my coffee in the morning! And to top it all of, each pack is only $10. I could cry out of happiness!
Unfortunately, these gotta-have cups are only in-store as long as supplies last. We hope they continue to restock through October, but we can’t be sure. These cups are also only available in-store, so take a trip as soon as you can.
If you can’t seem to find the Hocus Pocus cups, don’t worry. They’ve also got The Nightmare Before Christmas, Snoopy and Mickey cups, too. Now get to that Halloween shopping before it’s too late!
