Some of you are still very excited about the next month of summer. I get it—nobody wants the long, sunny days to come to an end. But…I have a confession to make. Fall is and forever will be MY time of the year. The bright oranges and reds mixed with the crisp, cool air make me want to set up camp outside and really enjoy life. Nothing else can compare!
Well, except for the spooky merch and endless pumpkin spice lattes. Lucky for Halloween-lovers, the new HomeGoods Halloween collection has OFFICIALLY dropped. Goodbye paycheck and hello pumpkins!
What’s in the HomeGoods Halloween Collection?
If you’re already a frequent visitor of HomeGoods, you know what to expect. For those of you who have never shopped in HomeGoods before, let me tell you something—you can find anything. When it comes to their spooky collection, you’ll be able to stock up on adorable pumpkins in every size, shape and pattern along with ghostly figurines, spider lights, witch mermaids and incredibly necessary skeleton hand-cupped candy bowls. I’ll be buying five, thank you!
Let’s not forget the array of coffee syrups (like Vanilla Bean Pumpkin). Wouldn’t that be perfect in a morning mocha? I think so! You can also grab so many different candles and creatures from all walks of life.
Don’t forget the pillows, either! My house buys new couch pillows every year, and no, we don’t plan on stopping. A bunch of pumpkins riding in a car covered with spiderwebs? Yes, please!
There Are Hocus Pocus Goodies (and More), Too!
For all you Winnie, Mary and Sarah fans out there, you’ll be happy to know there’s a section in celebration of the classic Halloween movie. You’ll find tons of Hocus Pocus quotes and home decor in the HomeGoods Halloween collection. Who says you can’t put stuff up in the bathroom, kitchen, hallway, closet, basement and garage? Don’t forget to pick up a Hocus Pocus Frappuccino to keep your energy up while decorating!
Not only that, but you can snag Nightmare Before Christmas cups, Mickey pumpkins and super cute Charlie Brown blankets to make a cozy fall night even cozier. So, what are you waiting for? Go visit your local HomeGoods and stock up while you can. It wouldn’t hurt to check out the Bath & Body Works Halloween collection, too.
