Halloween
Show MoreCelebrated on October 31st, Halloween has evolved into a holiday filled with fun, frights, and fascinating traditions. While it originated from ancient Celtic festivals like Samhain, today it’s a global event filled with costumes, trick-or-treating, and, of course, creepy decorations. In the UK and many other countries, it’s all about embracing the spooky side of life and getting creative with frightening costumes and eerie decorations.
Country-to-country variations exist in Halloween traditions, yet some remain universally beloved. In the UK, the tradition of “guising” (the precursor to trick-or-treating) dates back to the 19th century. Kids dress up as ghosts, witches, or other spooky characters and go door-to-door for sweets. The tradition of carving pumpkins, often filled with candles to light the way for spirits, is a beloved activity as well. People also decorate their homes with spooky themes, from skeletons to cobwebs, transforming every corner into a haunted house.
Though Halloween is widely known as an American tradition, it’s quickly spreading across Europe and beyond. However, the dates and ways of celebration can differ. Here’s a quick overview:
Bouquet of Black Roses: For those who love a touch of the macabre, a bouquet of black roses makes for a bold gift.
Spooky Candle Sets: Pair flowers with eerie candles for a truly haunted ambiance.
Personalised Skull Mugs: A fun gift that keeps the Halloween theme going long after the event.
Autumnal Themed Wreaths: Perfect for those who want to decorate their homes in spooky style with wreaths featuring orange, black, and gold hues.
While Halloween is more about spooks than gifts, giving something special can be a delightful surprise. Flowers, oddly enough, make for an intriguing gift for the occasion. Certain flowers are associated with Halloween themes, enhancing the mystery and allure of your gift. Here are some popular options:
Black Roses Perfect for a gothic touch, black roses symbolise mystery and the darker side of life.
Orange Marigolds: Often associated with the spirit world, these vibrant blooms are an ideal choice for the holiday.
Purple Lilies: With their deep, rich colours, the purple lilies speak to the mysterious and magical elements of Halloween.
Carnations: For a spookier vibe, you can pick red or even black carnations to surprise someone with a unique twist.
When sending your Halloween flowers or gifts, online flower delivery services in the UK make it simple to surprise loved ones. Whether it’s a spooky bouquet of marigolds or a frighteningly beautiful arrangement of purple lilies, you can trust a flower delivery service to handle your gift with care and get it to the recipient on time.
Halloween sprang from the Celtic celebration of Samhain, which marked the end of harvest and the start of winter. This night, the curtain separating the worlds of the living from the dead was thought to be thinnest, allowing spirits to pass over.
The custom originates from the Irish folklore of Stingy Jack, a man who tricked the devil and was sentenced to wander the planet with just a carved-out turnip to guide him. Larger and more readily carved, pumpkins were used instead by Irish immigrants arriving in America.
Not at all! While trick-or-treating is mainly a child’s activity, adults love to join in with costume parties, haunted house events, and spooky movie marathons. Halloween is a celebration for all ages.
Absolutely! While Halloween isn't typically a gift-giving holiday, flowers like black roses, marigolds, and purple lilies are perfect for the spooky season, making for a unique and mysterious gift.
Go for dark, moody colours like black, purple, and orange. Black roses and marigolds, which are traditionally associated with mystery or the supernatural, are particularly appropriate.
