    Halloween returns! Obviously, we have one every year. That's how Halloween works. But Poundland's bounty has been particularly special this year - We've got cobwebs, creepy doll heads, Ouija - sorry, spirit boards, weird skeletons, bleeding candles and even a sound effects box from elsewhere. It's a spooky sensation! It's a creepy cavalcade! It's a load of stuff which cost less than £15 combined! Hooray!

      Just sit her down and explain very carefully that magic cannot be made in a factory. Not even satan's evil devil magic. And cardboard/particle board is a terrible, TERRIBLE conductor of magic because of how artificial and processed it is.
      A real spirit channel requires a blood sacrifice, it requires effort, it requires the person doing it give a shit about what they are making. You can't mass produce that shit and put in the required care, effort, or detail. Magic can't just be done with cheap, mass produced, heavily artificial, highly processed nonsense made of shit materials.

    Pass the Parcel brings to mind my family's recent holiday tradition of the Saran Wrap ball. You roll a bunch of candy and small toys inside a ball made of two or three full rolls of Saran Wrap, then take turns unraveling it; you can't rip it to do so, and while you're unraveling the next person is frantically rolling two dice for doubles so they can steal it. You keep every prize that falls out during your turn, and there's a big cluster in the center.
