This Vintage Kissy Party Pumpkin looks like it just heard a great Halloween joke and is about to blow a kiss to the teller. With its bright, orange paper mache face, this 9-inch lantern is bursting with personality. The plump, pink cheeks and perfectly round, pointy nose give it a playful, slightly mischievous expression, while the wide, surprised mouth looks like it’s caught mid-gasp at the sight of a ghost or two. Those wide blue eyes, backed with translucent vellum, light up beautifully when a battery-operated tea light is placed inside, casting a warm, slightly spooky glow that’s perfect for the Halloween season.

Perched on its head is a tall, pointed party hat that screams vintage Halloween. The hat’s bright yellow color is boldly decorated with silhouetted witches flying across its surface, and the whole look is finished off with a wild fringe of black festooning that adds just the right amount of party-ready energy. At its base, more black fringe spills out, giving this pumpkin an extra dash of playfulness that makes it perfect for a centerpiece or a standout accent on a crowded Halloween display.

Whether you set it on a candy-filled table or pair it with a cluster of vintage-inspired lanterns and buckets, this pumpkin is sure to be the life of the party. It’s a fantastic piece for anyone who loves their Halloween decor with a healthy dose of personality, perfect for those who appreciate the playful side of the spooky season. And, of course, those kissy fave make it a natural fit for anyone who thinks Halloween should always come with a little bit of flirtatious fun. Just be careful, once this pumpkin’s eyes are glowing, you might find yourself returning its wide-eyed gaze a little more often than you planned.
