Nightmare before Christmas cookie jar !
Okay, fellow Nightmare Before Christmas fans, you know the thrill of finding that perfect piece of decor, especially when it's a total steal! I was just browsing through Marshalls the other day – you never know what treasures you'll unearth there, right? – when my eyes landed on these incredible cookie jars. Seriously, my heart did a little happy dance. The moment I saw Jack and Sally silhouetted on that vibrant yellow lid, I knew they had to come home with me! And the first thing everyone asks is always, "How much did it cost?!" So, let's get right to it. I snagged these amazing 'Nightmare Before Christmas' cookie jars for just $16.99 each. Honestly, for the quality and the fact that they're officially licensed Disney merchandise, I think that's an absolute steal! You often see smaller, less detailed licensed items going for much more, sometimes upwards of $30-$40, so I was really pleased with this price point. Marshalls is truly a goldmine for unique finds without breaking the bank, and these jars are a prime example. It just goes to show that if you're patient and check back often, you can find incredible deals on themed merchandise. Let me tell you about them because they're even cooler up close. Each jar features a really cool grey, textured base that gives it this eerie, almost stone-like feel, perfectly embodying the gothic aesthetic of Halloween Town. Adorning the base are various black spooky designs, like intricate coffins and detailed tombstones – truly capturing the essence of the movie's graveyard scenes. The yellow lid is where the magic truly happens, showcasing a striking silhouette of Jack Skellington and Sally against a dramatic full moon, encircled by flying bats. And if you look closely, there's even a subtle black cat figure partially visible, peeking out from behind the couple, adding another layer of spooky charm and detail. They're not just for cookies; they're fantastic decorative pieces that bring a little bit of Halloween Town into your home! If you're on the hunt for one of these, my best advice is to frequent your local Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and HomeGoods stores. Their stock rotates incredibly fast, so what's there today might be gone tomorrow. It's truly a "treasure hunt" experience. I've also had luck checking online marketplaces like eBay or Mercari, but often the prices are inflated compared to what you can find in-store, especially for popular items like these. Don't be afraid to check the seasonal aisles even when it's not Halloween or Christmas – sometimes these unique finds get mixed in or put out early. Shopping smart means visiting often and being ready to pounce on a good deal! Beyond just storing your delicious treats (though they'd make excellent homes for Oogie Boogie's Worm's Wart cookies or even gingerbread men!), these jars make fantastic decorative statements. Imagine them proudly displayed on your mantelpiece, kitchen counter, or even as a unique, thoughtful gift for another 'Nightmare Before Christmas' enthusiast. They add such a perfect touch of spooky charm and character to any room, whether you're decorating for the holidays or just love the aesthetic year-round. For the price, the detail, and the overall aesthetic, these cookie jars are just unbeatable. Definitely keep an eye out for them – you won't regret adding these iconic pieces to your collection!
