I just got one of those little LED candles to put inside a jackolantern – it’s perfect!

Um…how do you keep from spending the super-secret spy nickel by accident?

Awww- good idea sticking the fake candles in pumpkins. I have ones I really love that even have burnt wicks. I use them as nightlights in the bathroom when we have guests in the house.

EMS has some convertible gloves that are amazing too. http://www.ems.com/catalog/product_detail_square.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442597886&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574488339797

It’ just doesnt seem the same without lighting that candle! Technology is ok but putting that candle in the pumpkin and lighting it is still my kids favorite part of the whole deal!

I don’t have Metafilter, but I recommend France Luxe headbands. They are pricey, but good, and they have excellent customer service.

Lately I've been learning to shoot a bow and arrow throwing a bonfire party in the middle of a corn maze and eating liege waffles in Belgium. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. More about me and all this.
