These pumpkin holders are adorable and make a nice addition to our Halloween decor.  There is a battery included for the lights in the eyes so you can change them out to keep that feature every year.  I do agree that you might want to make a starter hole with a drill rather than trying to pierce the pumpkin with the head and tails.  They are not pointy and I was afraid I would bend them trying to stick them in the pumpkins.
