This “Spooky” IKEA Organizing Gem Is the Cutest Thing I’ve Seen

For decorative yet useful storage finds, I always look to IKEA. From handmade vases to outdoor storage, it’s a one-stop shop for your organizational needs without compromising on design and aesthetic, and the newest KUSTFYR Halloween collection is no exception.

It has been a couple of years since I last bought new fall or Halloween decor, so I figured it was time. As I was browsing through the quirky spider candle holders and classic jack-o’-lantern serving bowls, one ghoulish piece in particular caught my eye: the KUSTFYR Bowl with Lid.

The KUSTFYR Bowl with Lid is a clear glass jar with lid that’s about five inches in diameter and shaped like a familiar ghost, but with little hands for extra whimsy! While one reviewer says it’s a fun container for all year round, it’s especially fitting for the fall. And since it’s just $24.99, you can get one for yourself and give another to a Halloween-loving friend.

The best part of this bowl is how functional and versatile it is. You can use it as Halloween decor by filling it with cotton and a couple of plastic spiders, using it as a vessel for your favorite autumnal potpourri mix, or just letting it sit empty and looking cute on your kitchen counter or dining credenza. 

Or, you can put it to work in nearly any room in your home, serving as a jewelry catchall for your favorite chunky bracelets and other accessories, setting it out and filling it with candy or matchbooks for guests to take home as a favor after a dinner party, using it to hold your cotton balls in the bathroom, or putting it on your desk to contain paper clips and other small office supplies. 

Once the winter holidays roll around, you can add fake snow to the bottom along with a short string of fairy lights to transform it into the Ghost of Christmas Past. The decorative and storage ideas for this jar are nearly endless!

If the ghost jar isn’t your style, the HÖSTAGILLE pumpkin bowl from the same collection is just as cute and functional, but slightly larger and made of orange glass. For a clear glass version, check out this one from Amazon. No matter how you decide to use these seasonal and spooky jars, they’ll give your space a wickedly cute vibe any time of year.
