While Halloween decorations have been available on store shelves since the summer, if you’ve been waiting for it to finally feel like fall before you start shopping seasonal decor, now is the time. And the first place you should look is the Dollar Tree.
And if you do happen to take a trip to your local store and see skeleton hand champagne flutes, grab ’em! You’ll instantly become a Halloween MVP as these, like in years past, have become a viral Halloween decoration this year.
Dollar Tree shoppers and social media users are obsessed with these $1 plastic flutes that put an eerie spin on stemware, with colorful, boney skeleton hands holding up your cup instead of a traditional stem. The flutes come in purple, gray and iridescent black skeleton hands to match your party decor.
But! The only problem is, you can’t order these from the Dollar Tree online; you’ll need to head to your local Dollar Tree to pick them up. If you don’t have a Dollar Tree nearby or your store is sold out, we found skeleton hand drinkware at a few other retailers this season. Pottery Barn was offering a stunning glass-and-metal skeleton flute, but that one already sold out (they were also $30 each!). So, we finally turned to Amazon, and found a few different styles of plastic skeleton flutes in party-sized bulk packs of six or 12.
If you love a do-it-yourself Halloween project, you may recognize the Dollar Tree flutes as the base of many seasonal DIYs on TikTok. Not just for drinks, these skeleton flutes can be transformed into decorative centerpieces or used as battery-operated candleholders.
Oh, and if champagne isn’t your thing, you can also pick up the skeleton goblets, which are still available online.
