Friday the 13th means different things to different people. Does it bring good luck? Does it spell bad? What happens when a black cat crosses your path on it? 

We may not have any real answers, but one thing we can say for sure is that it's always fun to note when a Friday the 13th happens. And here we are! A Friday the 13th in October. In fact, the second Friday the 13th we've had this year (the other was in January).

What a treat!

Maybe the date makes you extra psyched Halloween. Maybe you're a year-round goth type who's always looking to boost her collection of spooky stuff. Maybe you just wanted a sign that you deserved to treat yourself today, and ended up here by accident.

No matter how you feel about Friday the 13th, we can safely say we all feel that it's important to take advantage of a shopportunity when it arises. So, sit back, scroll down, and get yourself some goofy gifts. Just...don't go near any crystal-clear lakes today, if you can avoid it.

Yeah, it's a skull pen holder. There's generally no reason to ever buy this, aside from maybe a local production of Hamlet. But it's Friday the 13th, and there are no rules! It's funny! Treat yourself!

On the other skeletal hand, this crystal liquor decanter totally rocks. Pun only kind of intended.
