There is something undeniably captivating about sugar skulls and the style of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, in general. The key to finding these sometimes-elusive goods for the home is figuring out who's actually carrying them. With Halloween and the Day of the Dead coming up at the end of the month, now is the time to get your hands on some unique finds that are beyond this world. While you're at it, you might just be inspired to throw a skull-tacular party too! — Heidi from Hands Occupied
Noggin Off to Sleep Pouf - $149.99 This big Dia de los Muertos–inspired pouf is everything: colorful, playful and fun. I want to design a whole room around it.
Sugar Sweet Dreams Duvet Cover, Full/Queen - $149.99 Red is my favorite color, so I might be a little biased toward appreciating this sugar skull comforter. Its simple, centered graphic balances its intricate detailing.
SugarBooger Kids' Deep Dish Bowl, Dia de los Muertos Collection - $9.02 Don't forget about the little ones during your Day of the Dead shopping. This cute children's bowl features a really fun take on sugar skulls.
Gold Skull Mug - $16 Bling bling! You won't need to do anything to prove you're hard-core if you're sipping coffee from a golden skull with rhinestone eyes and teeth. Rawr, indeed.
Skull Razor - $460 While not exactly intended to be Day of the Dead themed, a men's razor covered in a carved skull motif is pretty neat for this time of year.
White Day of the Dead Skull Wall Hanging With LED Eyes - $17.43 This wall hanging has two festive LED lights for eyes. Those, coupled with the bold colors and 3-D design, will make a space totally pop.
Day of the Dead Bike Chic Coffee Mug - $15.95 There's nothing like a mug with a bike-riding lady skeleton in your hand to communicate that you're a fun, cool chick. You won't even need to spike your coffee to seem awesome while toting this around.
Los Muertos Skull Candle - $19.98 I prefer to drop my cash on a candle that is not only gorgeous, but looks like it'd burn for quite a while. These sugar-skull-inspired candles fit the bill.
The Book of Skulls - $10.21 Looking for a gorgeous coffee table book that you'll peruse again and again? I'm a librarian, and I'm putting my seal of approval on The Book of Skulls, a visual collection of some of the world's most iconic skulls.
Wooden 7-Inch Los Muertos Nutcrackers - $25.98 December holidays meet Day of the Dead with these. Doesn't everyone need a set of Dia de los Muertos nutcrackers to accent their kitchen?
Skull Bank - $24 I like the idea of saving up for a Dia le los Muertos party with this skull-shape bank — maybe it should be called a skully bank?
Day of the Dead Table Runner - $69 I can't get enough of this black and white table runner. It would be the focal point of the food table where, let's be honest, many party guests will spend a lot of time.
Fred Sweet Spirits Cookie Stamps - $10.10 Sugar. Skull. Sugar. Cookies. I love that these are designed to emboss the iconic look of a sugar skull right onto a cookie. So adorable.
Day of the Dead Candy Dish - $10 A fun surprise lurks at the bottom of this candy dish. It's a great addition to any Dia de los Muertos party.
Mini Papel Picado Banner, Multicolor - $1.49 Say it with me: "papel picado." In English that means "perforated paper." You've probably seen these kinds of flags adorning your favorite Mexican restaurants, but I think they would make great party and kitchen decor too.
Party Balloon, Black - $8 I love these balloons so much. They'd be right at home on a party garland or adorning a porch around trick-or-treating time.
No Funny Bones About It Stacking Game - $23.99 A shaky tower game is always the life of the party. This bony version would steal the show at a Day of the Dead party.
Glow-in-the-Dark Ouija Board - $22.99 Hello, glow-in-the-dark Ouija board. It's been a long, long time since I played this game at a sleepover with my little girlfriends, but it would be a fun element to include in a Day of the Dead party.
Feel the Libation Corkscrew - $29.99 Get the party popping with a totally cheeky skeleton wine bottle opener. The sugar-skull-style embossing makes it exceptional.
'Dia de los Muertes' Poster by Ancello - $23.75 I would probably have a hard time not coloring in this sugar skull poster if it were hung in my house — but that's why I love and want it.
