tag pumpkin "spider" stands are by far one of the most popular Halloween decor items because they are SO easy to use. Last year, Real Simple Magazine wrote an article about these guys, and it's not hard to see why: they literally help make your life real simple.  No carving, no cutting (and no injuries!), no painting... no mess. I love it. So I was excited to learn about another use for the stands: candy bowl holder. Brilliant!

Now they're also available as owls and skull and crossbones. (Pirate-themed party, anyone?)
