Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, honors a time when certain Mexican families welcome back the souls of lost loved ones. You’ll find folks decorating sugar sculptures in the shape of a skull with colorful royal icing and edible glitter. The celebratory time commemorates legacies by creating altars, hosting festivals, and, of course, cooking tasty food.

If you plan on celebrating this year, you may want to hit up Trader Joe’s as part of your preparations. The popular grocery retailer just stocked its shelves with the most adorable plant. While it’s unavailable on their site, shoppers eagerly began posting about it on social media. The planter — shaped like a skeleton — comes with an air plant, and you can get one in various shades, including orange, blue, and green. Plus, it comes with a handy magnet glued to its back, so you can easily stick it on your fridge.

This year, Trader Joe’s also stocked its plant section with Day of the Dead-inspired skull-shaped planters with succulents for $4.99 each. In this same theme, they also sell the cutest cat- and dog-shaped planters with succulents for folks creating altars for their furry friends for $7.99. 

Trader Joe’s fans can’t get enough of these magnet skeleton planters, calling it one of the most “adorable” finds of the season. One person commented, “I’m obsessed with these. I just grabbed three for my fridge,” while another user shared, “How cute are those!!”

If you’re looking for a festive (and endearing!) way to celebrate your loved ones on this day, there are so many routes you can take to honor their legacies.
