Michaels Is Slowly Dropping a New Halloween Collection That Is Perfect for '90s Witchy Girls
Summer isn't even officially here, and the Halloween crowd is practically foaming at the mouth over spooky season. So much so that over the past few years, companies have made a habit of embracing "Summerween" as they start rolling out their spooky lines for fall-hungry customers to snag early. As someone who adores summer and shifts into spooky season mode the second September hits, I am personally all for this capitalistic trend.
Recently, TikToker @gulfcoastwitchery was cruising the aisles of her local Michaels when she spotted something every '90s girl will gasp at when they finally see it: a collection full of '90s celestial whimsy-goth pieces that would truthfully find a permanent spot in my home 365 days a year.

Be still, my Sabrina the Teenage Witch-loving heart. The "Bound by Magic" collection has reportedly only been available at a select number of stores nationwide, and the options are not yet live online. From the video, we see a quick preview of the rich blue-and-gold color scheme that the 1990s made particularly famous. There are dozens of trinket dishes, decorative boxes, metal wall art, and statues that will surely add a layer of spooky glory to your home.

How People Are Feeling About the New Collection
The TikToker's followers had a bevy of reactions to the find, with some pouting that the line hasn't hit their local store or the website yet.
"It's my bedroom from 1997," exclaimed one follower.
"Finally. Some sensible year-round decor," quipped another.
But not everyone is super jazzed about the early seasonal drop. There were a ton of commenters calling the release wasteful, pointing out how fast seasonal trends can end up in landfills, while others boasted about finding better-quality vintage items at thrift stores in their neighborhoods.
Another major complaint from followers is that much of the collection looks like "AI art"-an accusation stemming from a 2024 incident in which Michaels approved for sale in their stores a piece of artwork made with generative AI assistance. Savvy customers spotted a "Freepik" watermark on that piece, a known digital design tool that uses AI, according to Fast Company.

"This artwork was purchased from a vendor who licensed the original source material from an artist," Michaels explained in a statement via email to the outlet at the time. "Without our knowledge, the vendor added an AI-generated layer to the image. This is an unacceptable error that we are addressing by removing the product from our website and stores and offering refunds to any customers who purchased it. Michaels will always support artists and will be taking steps to prevent this from happening again in the future."
There is currently no official word on when the collection will be dropping online or when it will definitely arrive in all brick-and-mortar stores. So if you are interested in bagging these pieces despite what the naysayers say, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for them in your local craft aisles.
