Trick ‘r Treat Snap & Switch Set: Mr. Kreeg’s Bedroom

Hi! I always look forward to when 5 Below drops their Halloween collection and have been waiting patiently for an item I saw in their sneak peek ads to hit the stores: A new Trick ‘r Treat Snap & Switch set of Mr. Kreeg’s bedroom. Trick ‘r Treat is one of mine and Johnny’s most beloved Halloween flicks and Sam is our favorite little buddy. He’s just SO damn cute we can hardly stand it and watch the movie multiple times a year. Last year, we so enjoyed putting together two Trick ‘r Treat Snap & Switch sets from 5 Below and Mr. Kreeg’s bedroom set did not disappoint! Although Johnny’s actions most definitely disappointed lol… Let’s discuss:

^^^ His little bum flaps!!!!

I tore into this set like a rabid animal because I love any and all things Sam and could not wait to display the build on our knick knack shelf. Johnny sat back while I worked and tapped in on the tiny pieces that were difficult for me to place. The build progressed quickly and easily and within fifteen minutes or so, the set was almost done. All that was left to do was rig the lighting for the jack-o-lantern. The wires to the lighting were wrapped up alongside the fuse box and I asked Johnny to untie it for me. We are both genuinely not sure what he was thinking because he ended up cutting the wire thinking it was some string or something? Yeah, I’m still scratching my head on that considering he works with wires constantly at his job!

I was SO sad about this ridiculous development because I was really looking forward to having this set and now the focal point was completely ruined. For a few days, anyways. Blessedly, Johnny was able to resauter the wires at work and when I returned home from my shift, I was delighted to see the glowing jack-o-lantern greeting me. It looked even better than I imagined! Johnny’s silly slip up ended up being no harm no foul and I have to razz him a little because it was such a wtf situation lol. Now, my Mr. Kreeg’s Bedroom set is complete and it is absolutely perfect. A definite must have for any Trick ‘r Treat fan!!

Big ups to Johnny for breaking my toy and then fixing it and big ups to 5B for always supplying the best Trick ‘r Treat goodies! I am keeping my fingers crossed for more Sam merch to drop ASAFP. He’s my lil bestie angel boy and I need it all!

Is Sam the cutest movie character in the world? And why is the answer a resounding YES? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Happy Haulidays: Sweet Boys Edition

Hello!! This past weekend, I received the last of my Christmas gifts that came from Johnny’s best friend since childhood, Cliff. Coincidentally, we all went to the same grade school and Cliff’s family actually used to babysit me. Ever since Johnny and I began dating, Cliff has become my bestie too and his gift to me was the absolute sweetest. I also got an extra surprise from Johnny and our other darling boy, Ty, during our last game night. They sure know how to spoil me! Check it out:

^^^ The wrapping paper Cliff used is vintage from the 70s, which is so cool!

I couldn’t wait to open my gift from Cliff because both him and Johnny claimed that I was going to love it and, of course, wouldn’t give me any hints! As much as I appreciated the beautifully wrapped gift box, I tore it open and had to laugh when I saw what was inside: A hoodie from H&M. One time when Cliff came over several months ago, I put on his exact same hoodie but in grey because it was freezing. It was also so comfy that I just kind of “forgot” to give it back lol. He took this as a Christmas gift idea and ordered one just for me immediately after! I was so touched by how thoughtful it was and it is definitely one of my favorite gifts that I was given this Christmas. In fact, I am wearing it right now!

In case you haven’t noticed by my Instagram content, I freaking love Sam from Trick ‘R Treat. He is just so precious and adorable. 🙂 One of our musician pals, Ty, is well aware of this and surprised me with a Sam Funko Pop! Ty texted me a picture of the cutest Funko ever and asked if I had it already. I didn’t even know it existed! When he came over later that week for games and music and emerged in the front door with a gift in hand, I knew exactly what it was. Sam the Funko is now nestled in with the rest of the Pops in our growing collection. Don’t tell the others that he’s my fave, though. 😉

Finally, when Johnny had a few errands to run he returned home with a post Christmas gift for me. Yes, another Sam related piece of merchandise that is his deadly lollipop! Sadly, he thought he selected the unbroken one but they were actually all broke and he didn’t realize it lol. That’s no matter, though, because the lollipop is strictly for the knick knack shelf and not for human consumption! Broke or not, it makes a fine addition to our Halloween themed decor. ❤

I am, honestly, so flattered by my gifts from my best boyfriends. Both Cliff and Ty were Johnny’s friends for a long time and it warmed my heart that they thought about me at Christmas too. I feel so lucky for all of the love!!

Are you friends with your partner’s friends? What is one of the most thoughtful gifts you have received? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
