Hay there. If you haven’t noticed...the leaves are changing color, everyone is baking, and we’re obsessed with finding the best apple cider doughnut.
In other words, we’re falling in love with the season. And as Halloween (and Thanksgiving) approaches, we’re packing our days with autumn favorites. To get you in the mood, we rounded up things that are just the right amount of festive. Go big or gourd home.
Oh, and sign up here to get more recs of our fave things to your inbox every Monday.

You can never be ‘too decorated’ for spooky season. These 3D bats have double-sided tape so they’re easy to stick anywhere. Think doors, entryways, and windows. And when the season is over (boooo), they won’t leave behind a residue. ($6.99+/12 pieces, Leons Party on Etsy)

Cariuma’s signature memory foam and leather insoles will mold oh-so perfectly to your feet. We’re talking all-day comfort and style. Because why sacrifice one for the other? Plus, they’re shipped in recycled packaging. Slip into a pair.* ($98, Cariuma)

Working from home just got sweet and spicy. With hints of molasses and cinnamon, this candle will smell like the best combo of fall ingredients. It’s hand-poured with a burn time of over 30 hours. ($13+, Natural Annie Essentials)

With flour and eggs, duh. This book features over 80 recipes from pie expert Petra Paredez. You’ll get step-by-step instructions, an inside look into where she gets her ingredients, and mouth-watering photography. Time to preheat the oven. ($27.59, Bookshop)

You + your couch + this blanket = ultimate cozy vibes. ‘Nuff said. ($49, Urban Outfitters)

It’s water-resistant, has four pockets, and a corduroy-lined collar. Aka, the ideal option for orchard visits and pumpkin picking. ($71.97, Lands’ End)

Introducing one of our favorite seasonal trends. Because your outfit is not complete without one. Hi, Instagram. ($49.95, Gap)

Like triple ginger cookies, pumpkin spice popcorn, and dark chocolate-covered hazelnuts. We’re not hungry, you’re hungry. ($78+, Mouth)

BTW, each bar is made with coconut oil to keep skin feeling soft and smooth. Smelling fresh. ($10, 700 Rivers)

Because what is a crisp, cool morning without a big cup of espresso and steamed milk? ($22.95+, The Scribble Studio on Etsy)

Ah, Halloween. We’ve been waiting all year for you (and the candy). Trick or treat yo' self. ($39.95+, Whimsy Type on Etsy)

Apple cider doughnuts, pumpkin pie doughnuts, maple bacon doughnuts. Need we say more? It’s also non-stick so cleanup will be 10x easier. Add to cart. ($15.75, Amazon)

Applause to those that get super creative. We’ll probably stick to the classic jack-o'-lantern. The kit comes with two saws, one poker, and one scoop. And they’re made from stainless steel, so they won’t snap halfway through carving. Boom. ($16.92, Amazon)

Pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins. Did we mention it’s fall? ($16, Anthropologie)

Kitchen table? Fireplace mantel? Yes and (definitely) yes. They’re tiny and cute. And can carry over from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Life is gourd. ($6/set of 8, Target)

If you didn’t wear a flannel shirt, did the season even happen? It’s cotton with a relaxed fit through the torso. The roomier, the better. ($59.95, Gap)

Because your holiday centerpiece never looked so good. BRB, HGTV is knocking. ($47.99, Your Heart's Content on Etsy)
