I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2017, with a focus on beauty, travel, and practical products, and in addition to writing, am in the process of getting my master’s in speech-language pathology.

1. A mini pumpkin Dutch oven perfect for enjoying individual servings of soup, dips, or even using it as a snacking bowl for popcorn or candy (hey, you need movie snacks for your annual rewatch of Hocus Pocus). 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love this pretty pot. I use it for dipping sauce and a melting pot, and keep it on the stove for decor. I love showing it off when people ask me where I get it from." —sandra l

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors). 

2. A set of Glamnetic press-on nails available in a wide variety of Halloween designs and colors because it's heck of a lot easier (AND CHEAPER!!!) than asking your nail tech to create elaborately designed spooky szn nail art. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Cute Halloween nails! I love these nails! I haven’t done press on nails in a long time and I didn’t know what to expect but these are so pretty! They shimmer just as much as advertised in the pictures and I love the cute little Jack-o'-lantern faces on them! I like that it comes with different sizes so you can find the right fit for your nails." —Casey

Get them from Amazon for$19.99 (available in 51 styles).

3. A set of ghost throw pillow covers because as lovely as your current throw pillow covers are right now, they're simply not spooky enough!! These are the perfect way to take care of that!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

This listing is just for the pillow covers. If you're looking for pillow inserts, you can buy some here!

Promising review: "These pillow covers are adorable and fit perfectly over our couch pillows this Halloween. They are very soft and washed quite well. Our couch pillows are dark in color with a pattern and I was concerned about the covers being thin, but you couldn't see through them at all." —Kris S.

Geta pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).

4. A Halloween monster brookie/cookie pack that feature Halloween colors and edible sugar eyeballs for a treat that's equal parts spooky and delicious! These are perfect for any Halloween parties you may have coming up (or if you're just looking for a good sweet treat to snack on as your craft this year's costume)!

Goldbelly

This package comes with four brookies and 16 cookies!

Get them from Goldbelly for $89.95.

5. A pack of Halloween sheet masks so you can enjoy a spooky spa night from the comfort of home in the best possible way this Halloween season. Each mask features a little something different, so you treat your skin (not trick it) — we're talking pore-refining egg white ghost masks; moisturizing pumpkin masks, and detoxifying charcoal bat masks!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These masks are adorable and make such a fun Halloween gift! The packaging is super cute and festive, and the masks themselves feel nice and refreshing on the skin. I used them in little 'You’ve Been Booed' bags, and everyone loved them! Great value and so fun for fall!" –Whit

Get a pack of nine from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in two other Halloween varieties).

6. A button-front cardigan whose spooky black cat print and argyle pattern are sure to be the hit of your wardrobe this fall. Cozy, cute, and maybe a tad creepy (in the best way)? That's what I call a triple threat!

Torrid

Promising review: "Ahhhh, I love it so much I can’t wait until it’s cold enough to wear it. It fits exactly the way I want it to. I sized to my actual size and it fits loose and flowy." —HZZZZZ

Get it from Torrid for $31.96 (originally $79.90; available in sizes L–6XL). 

7. A wineglass set because autumn vino nights with your crew sound so much more fun when you can pretend the deep red liquid in your glass is actually witch's brew...or your favorite pinot grigio is secretly spider leg juice. 😜

Wayfair

Get a set of four from Wayfair for $45.99 (originally $55).

8. A set of adorable garden ghosts to bring some spooky silliness to outdoor and indoor gardens alike. Neighbors and house guests are sure to ask for the link so they can buy these too, so be sure you have that readily available to share with them. We don't believe in gatekeeping cute products around here!

Uncommon Goods

Promising review: "i purchased these for my daughter as something different and unique for a Halloween garden. She really like them. They are so cute that I ended up buying them for myself. The only complaint is that they are small and I had to keep clearing the fallen leaves off of them so that they could be seen in the garden next to some ornamental cabbage. Other than that, I highly recommend them as a unique and different gift for a Halloween lover, garden lover, or for yourself!" —Cheri

Geta set of three from Uncommon Goods for $48.

9. A bag of assorted Reese's Halloween shapes including pumpkins, bats, and ghosts because it's the best Halloween candy ever AND Reese's somehow always taste EXTRA delicious when they come in fun holiday shapes!

Walmart

I would be lying if I said Reese's pumpkins aren't something I look forward to on an annual basis.

Promising review: "This Reese's Halloween assortment is so cute!!! The candy is absolutely delicious!!! They are all so creamy! I like these better than the cups. Nice size bag and price is very reasonable!! You won't be disappointed. It's hard to stop with just one!!!!" —anonymous

Get them from Walmart for $7.97 (also available in a two-pack).

10. A spooky season multi-earrings set perfect for anyone who oscillates between being in a "trick" mood or a "treat" mood. If you're feeling "trick," you may want to put on the spider, spider web, or black cat earrings. If you're feeling "treat," perhaps some stars, moons, or hearts. And if you're feeling both (and have several piercings), you can do a little combo!

Urban Outfitters

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $25.

11. A Spooky Cutie coloring book filled with the most adorably spooky pictures for you to color this fall. What better way to spend a September/October night in than with a marathon of your favorite Halloween movies and coloring the pages in this awesome book?

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

While you can color this in with any markers, colored pencils, or crayons of your choice, I highly recommend these Ohuhu alcohol markers. I own these along with several Coco Wyo coloring books and it's truly such a relaxing and fun way to unwind!

Promising review: "I purchased this coloring book because I love the mix of cute and spooky designs, and it did not disappoint. The artwork is adorable while still having that spooky Halloween-inspired style that makes it fun and different from regular coloring books. The designs are creative, detailed, and enjoyable to color. I like that there is a good variety of pages, making it easy to choose something depending on my mood. The pictures have enough detail to keep you interested without feeling overwhelming. The price is also great for the amount of enjoyment you get from it. It is a fun activity for relaxing, unwinding, or just taking some time away from screens. I think it would be a great choice for teens and adults who enjoy cute, unique, or spooky-themed coloring pages. Overall, we really love this coloring book. The designs are fun, the quality is good, and it is a great value for anyone who enjoys coloring." —Melanie

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

12. A ceramic fireproof skull you can toss into your gas fireplace for extra spooky vibes or place on your counter to just give you a start whenever you enter the living room. You can even use this on outdoor gas firepits while the weather is still a bit too warm for indoor flames. 

Target

Promising review: "This is a lot of fun for a typical boring gas firepit. Fire comes out of his nose, eyes, and a slit on top of head. After about a two hour use, only a black spot which to be expected. I’d def buy again." —AutRose

Get it from Target for $35.99 (originally $71.99; available in two colors). 

13. A skull statement necklace bound to make everyone who sees you wearing this oh-so-jelly!!! And for good reason — it's unique, gorgeous, and truly the perfect accessory for bringing some Halloween fun to any outfit/costume!

Nordstrom Rack

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two colors).

15. A Halloween pet bed in the shape of a bat for a cozy lil' hideaway spot for your favorite furry friend. No regular pet bed will suffice this time of year. You NEED (not want, NEED) to get this for your fur baby!

Petco

16. Some Betsey Johnson witch hat dangle earrings that are a statement accessory if we've ever seen one. You may only want to wear these on days when you feel like being praised for your excellent jewelry taste, because that's what's gonna happen when you step out in these. (Personally, I'd accept that praise every single day.)

Macy's

Get them from Macy's for$48.

17. A pack of Halloween Oreo cookies because is it truly the Halloween season if you don't have orange creme-filled deliciousness to celebrate?! Which, BTW, fun fact, did you know that Nabisco first introduced Halloween Oreos in 1991?!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I love the fun, different patterns on each cookie, and there’s just something about the orange creme Halloween Oreo that hits different — maybe a little nostalgic, maybe just pure festive goodness. Either way, it’s a must-try for Halloween snack lovers!" —Aly

Get them from Amazon for $3.66. 

18. A pumpkin sweater bound to have you apologizing to all of the other sweaters in your wardrobe because once this baby arrives on your doorstep? Your other sweaters will likely not see the light of day. It's not your fault you have impeccable taste.

ModCloth

Promising review: "This is my favorite sweater. I’ve owned it for a couple of years and I am tempted to just buy another even though it still looks brand new. In addition to being the cutest sweater design in history, it is so soft and it fits like a dream. It’s the perfect weight and drapes so well. Not too tight, not too slouchy or bulky." —Emily

Get it from ModCloth for$79 (available in sizes XS–4X).

19. A Halloween feather tree because who ever said that you need to wait until Christmas to put up a tree and decorate?! Halloween is a great time to put up a decorative tree!!

Bath & Body Works

Promising review: "Love this candle and I get it every fall season. Definitely a pumpkin-y scent overall, the brown sugar is a bit more muted. I also get an aroma of clove too, it smells very similar to Pumpkin Clove. What I love most though is this scent always has such a strong throw, even as a single-wick. If you're sensitive to that, this candle might be a tad overwhelming, but for me it's a fall must-have. And the colored wax and outer design make it a great decorative item as well when not in use. I love this candle." —BABW Candle fan

Get it from Bath & Body Works for $24.95.

Promising review: "I got these ears a few days ago and I love them. Can't wait to wear them to the park. They have a fun Halloween look.
