Good idea. Do you have any suggestions to keep the gnats away if you keep it outside?

To make your jack-o-lantern smell nice, sprinkle some cinnamon on the inside of the lid. The heat from the candle will enhance the aroma.

Awesome. I can't wait to try this. We always wait to the last minute because the pumpkin doesn't keep. Thanks for the great tip.

I hadn't thought about that. But it makes sense! I'm definitely going to have to try that this year!
