2:09 am in holidays, Lamps & Lighting, Lights by Tanya

We all heart Halloween but at times end up buying something very cheesy or garish. The Pink Horror Lamp Shade Lampshade not only makes for the perfect Halloween decor but given its classic design can be used on regular days as well. Inspired by the cult movie "Night of the Living Dead", the lampshade is a must for any Horror fan who wants to add a touch bizarre in their house without being macabre. This shade has a slip-UNO fitter (sit on the socket and held in place by the bulb) and supports European E14 and American E12 table lamp bases such as Ikea's Grundton, Hemma, Ekarp and Januari etc. You can purchase the Lampshade from the Etsy website.

Kaspa, the Eco-Friendly Ghost Light Is Perfect For Halloween

3:53 am in Eco Friendly, holidays, Lamps, Lamps & Lighting by Tanya

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Kaspa, the Eco-Friendly Ghost light seeks inspiration from everyone's favorite spirt, Casper. But Ilsa Parry, the winner of Phillipe Starck's Design for Life reality TV show may not like to admit this. However whatever the source of inspiration for Kaspa is, one cannot deny its appeal to children especially during Halloween. Kaspa is actually a nightlight for children though I am not sure if kids would actually want a ghost shaped light flickering in the dark. However since Kaspa conserves energy, Parry hopes to educate children about alternative energy sources since the light can glow up to an hour without an electricity usage. You can purchase Kaspa in any of its avatars from here.
