Big Halloween lovers who want to turn their house into a temporary tribute to the holiday face two problems: money and/or time. Buying decorations is expensive, making them takes time and skill. So.. how about a decoration that’s also useful and doesn’t cost much?

The Lite Up Jack-O-Lantern Mug is just 5 bucks and, although it’s got a high tackiness potential, it manages to look good. And it’s not restricted to one use. As cool as it is to drink out of a glowing orange skull (and scare someone if you’re doing it at night), it can also serve as a decent centerpiece for a Halloween-themed dinner. Just add some dead roses and fake spiderweb, turn on the LED and enjoy the creepiness. Or, if both partners are into celebrating, it could change the traditional meaning of a candle-lit dinner…

Crafty DYIers could use it for even more creative things, I’m sure. At this price you won’t even feel sorry when you ruin it.

How much under $29.99?
A lot: $5 on CenturyNovelty.com.
