During the multi-day celebration of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, observers often construct colorful and elaborate altars to honor their departed loved ones. As the festival gets underway, you’ll see traditional offerings placed upon them, like marigolds, sweet bread (pan de muerto), and ornamental skulls. These brightly decorated, ornamental skulls are typically made from sugar or ceramic and are sometimes even filled with another offering, like candy, flowers, plants, etc. — an offering within an offering, if you will. And that’s exactly what you’ll find in Trader Joe’s Day of the Dead Cat & Dog Succulents, our furry friend-focused take on our ever-popular Succulents in Small Ceramic Skulls.

Our four-legged, ceramic Cats & Dogs sport black and white base coats accented with brightly colored, extra fetching floral designs. Each one comes filled with a hardy Haworthia succulent—a variety of succulent known for its resilience and distinct, spikey foliage. Whether you celebrate Day of the Dead yourself or just love collecting our unique ceramic planters (social media would suggest that you do...), these Cat & Dog Succulents will infuse your space with just the standout, seasonal flare you seek.
