Decorative cushion with Halloween harvest motif
Price: 19,99 €
You can celebrate Halloween at any age. You may not be interested in dressing up or trick-or-treating—your grandkids might be—but you can still spruce up your home with a little spooky decor.

It comes in several designs, including “Batty Moon” (featuring an orange moon and black cats) and “Scottish Harvest” (featuring pumpkins in three different colors), and works well as a decoration for the living room or guest room.
The pillow has a polyester blend cover and polyester fiberfill that helps it retain its shape while being easy to clean. It offers decent support but is best used as an accent piece.

Core cabin tent
