FooGallery – Image Gallery WordPress Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/foogallery/
The Lowdown:
This is a gallery plugin to create image galleries that you can then display on a page with a short code. This is a simple gallery creator that lets you create multiple galleries and then pack them into albums if you like. When creating the gallery you can easily select multiple images you have uploaded to your media library. The you can rearrange them for best order of presentation. It will even create retina ready thumbnails for you. galleries are responsive and with the foobox lightbox youo have a very clean display.
You can adjust the thumbnail size and pull the info automatically for title and description from the image to display as captions.

DayOfWeek Widget
https://wordpress.org/plugins/day-of-week/
This plugin provides an easy, lightweight way to show different content based on the day of the week. So if you want to have unique content or items based on what day it is, this is for you. You don’t have to have new content for every day. You can leave a day empty and it will just skip it.
This is shortcode based and you enter in your text in the back end of the plugin. This is great for promoting weekly specials as well.

Halloween Box
https://wordpress.org/plugins/halloween-box/

This is a simple CSS change for your sites pages and posts content box and is not fully compatible with a site builder such as enfolds. But is does make a change to allow for a Halloween motif on your site and lets you do some simple Halloween decorations to your site with no effort.

WooRewards
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woorewards/
One of the most efficient ways to develop customer loyalty is to have a Reward System within your online store. Your customers receive rewards and discounts when buying on your website.
With the WooRewards plugin, you simply define the number of points received on purchases, the number of points needed to get a gift coupon and you’re done. Your customers will receive an email with all the info needed to use their coupon, such as the coupon code, its value and its validity period. Customers can login and check on their point balance and coupons at any time. There is a standard and pro version ($50). My suggestion is that if you’re going to implement something like this, you want the pro version, as you want to enable all the bells and whistles that you can.
STANDARD VERSION
Point System Settings
Coupon Settings
Automatic coupon generation
Configurable emails
Points and coupons visualization
PRO VERSION
Points management
Points history
Customizable reminder system
Advanced cart
