20 Goth Small Businesses to Support this Halloween Instead of Homesense
As Halloween and the autumn season approaches, it’s so much fun to see spooky / seasonal products hit stores like Homesense. Shopping Halloween decor that stays out all year round is part of why this season is appealing!
But if you’re looking to truly embrace the spirit of the season, why not support the goth community by shopping from small businesses instead?
These independent creators pour their passion and unique flair into every piece, offering everything from handcrafted jewellery and eerie art to haunting home decor that you won’t find on any mass-market shelves.
