Promising review: "I am thoroughly, and I mean thoroughly, happy that I bought these curtains! I bought three sets (two panels each) for three windows in the living room. I bought the 108-inch as I have floor-to-ceiling windows. They just look absolutely amazing with my dark walls. Yes, out of the package, there were some wrinkles, but that is to be expected because it's a velvet fabric. The fabric is absolutely amazing — it's good quality, none of the stitching was loose or torn or anything like that, and all of the grommets were set exactly as they should be. If you're even remotely thinking about spending money on curtains... BUY THESE. ...SERIOUSLY... BUY THEM..." —Lexus Cherry

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This mat was perfect this Halloween, it adds the perfect amount of subtle eeriness, and it held up really well under our covered doorway. I'm sure this will last for at least another three years. The ink is clear and the words are legible (which was a concern I had prior to it arriving). But, despite the inexpensive price tag, it's actually a well-made mat that's true to the provided picture." —Morgan Benedict

And if you're looking for a great duvet to fill this cover, here's a down alternative duvet that reviewers love! 

Promising review: "I have been looking for a terracotta jersey knit duvet cover forever and took a chance with this one. The color is great, a dark terracotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be nit-picky it isn’t as soft as other jersey knit fabrics I have felt. Shipping was surprisingly fast and the size was perfect for my queen bed. Overall I am happy with my purchase." —Sarah

Promising review: "This cider concentrate is delicious and easy to mix. I follow the instructions of one ounce of concentrate to seven ounces of water. I use my measuring cup to measure and cold bottled water from my fridge. I prefer it cold, but I’m certain it would be delicious hot. I ordered the smaller bottle, but am thinking of ordering the larger bottle and an ounce pump to make larger quantities. The spices are perfectly blended and do not overwhelm the apple flavor. I can barely tell this is spiced apple cider. I wish I could give it more than five stars. You can also use this for baking recipes." —Olivia Ellsworth 

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes).
