I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother. You know Step2: The makers of all your fave outdoor kiddo toys and—now—your fave outdoor spooky decor, too. And some customizable winter holiday decor, too, if you're just ready for ALL the not-summer seasons to roll in. Promising review: "The Boo Buddy Halloween Ghost is super cute. Bigger than expected, making it the perfect addition to my outdoor fall decorations. The plug in the back provides easy access to add sand for weight. Durable for an outside decoration." —melmore Promising review: "These hands look amazing, gave my room a very spooky feel during October, and I loved them so much I kept them until July when I moved out of my apartment!... Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a bit of decor to spice up your living areas!" —Aracely Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles). Promising review: "I love it. Adjusting the fingers was a bit hard at first because I was afraid I would break one, but they are actually VERY durable and more flexible than I thought. No reason to be scared; I twisted those suckers where I wanted them to be, and BAM. It's beautiful. I love it. I can't stop looking at it. Best birthday present to myself ever." —Michan Each figure is 4 feet tall. It includes one battery box to power all three figures, which requires three AA batteries (not included). Promising review: "These witches were a great addition to my Halloween decor. They are sturdy and held up during some pretty tough weather. I had to change the batteries once in about a month of having them on." —Amazon Customer Get a set of three from Amazon for $64.99. While this legendary guy is made for wood-burning stoves, this reviewer says it works great on their electric burners, too! It can hold 2.75 quarts of water. Promising review: "I absolutely love this dragon! Everyone likes to watch the steam come out, and it is another way to keep the room humidity up." —Kindle Customer Promising reviews: "Heavy, high quality, great size for double front doors." —Kimberly "Like ALL of the rugs I’ve purchased from Ruggable, I am very pleased with this newest addition. Love the nighttime scene." —R Get it from Ruggable for $99+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "Love this rug. Dark and spooky. Hits the mark." —Denise "We LOVE our Ruggable system! So easy to clean and express our style for each and every season." —Kylen Get it from Ruggable for $71.20+ (originally $89+; available in 11 sizes). Heads up! These are made with wire-wrapped foam, so be careful when bending! Should an unfortunate tear occur — looking at you, kids and clumsy pets — reviewers say it was easy to glue back together, and some suggest reinforcing with Mod Podge for even longer usage. Promising review: "These arms and legs are the perfect set to make a pumpkin scary with little effort. They are bendable and should last for many Halloweens. The price is right, the look is great, I would definitely buy again." —Pam Get a set of two arms and two legs from Amazon for $19.99. Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. I absolutely love these. Have tried multiple lights/designs over the years. I bought the purple four-pack for Halloween and liked them so much, I got these in a six-pack for the backyard to enjoy year-round. The flame motion has just sucked me in. I love the flame flicker effect versus funky patterns or solid ugly white light. There's a switch for solid light, which is also pretty, or flicker or off. I charge the batteries once a year. They come on at dusk automatically... they make me smile every single evening." —Janet P. Get a 4-pack from Amazon for $43.99 (also available in purple and 2- and 6-packs). Promising review: "My family loved these magnetic bats! They helped add some fun Halloween decorations with less than five minutes of work and are easy to take down! The size is exactly as shown, and they look great! They stayed up for over four weeks!" —Taryn L Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three styles). Promising review: "Love these for Halloween! Very realistic for what they are and a great way to make an impact." —Max Kibbe Get a 3-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a 6- and 12-pack). Promising review: "This is great for any decoration. It's thick and nice enough to use again. Totally recommend." —Brandi I LOVE Craftspring. They are woman-owned, sustainable, and focus on fair trade and handmade items with the kind of high quality you just don't see on the fast-goods market very often. I have their Shakespeare and Jane Austen ornaments on my office pinboard year-round and can't wait to shop for more as fam and friend gifts when summer finally leaves and the holiday season is upon us! Promising reviews: "Love these so much! Exactly as pictured. Quality, craftsmanship, and details are wonderful. Very, very happy! Thank you!" —Amanda A "I gave this to my 4-year-old nephew, who was going to dress as a skeleton for Halloween, and he loved it!" —Patty W Get it from Craftspring for $32 (available in a wide range of spooky styles). Promising review: "This is the perfect size and comes with so many letters, characters, and shapes, so you can change what it says whenever you want. Super easy to put together; worth every penny! I get so many compliments when people come over and see this." —Deni S. Promising review: "These candles are an adorable addition to my Halloween decor. I love them and will buy more next year!" —Blulili7274 Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four styles and two sizes). Requires three AA batteries (not included). Promising review: "Used this as a garland for my fireplace mantle. So beautiful and soft looking year round." —Bonnie Promising review: "I love it! My house is spooky all year, and this looks perfect! It comes with a hanger like shown. It has stayed on my door for a month now." —Eddie Trevino Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three styles). Promising review: "I watched people hop out of their cars just to see the clown in action, and they loved it. It's a shame my neighborhood doesn't decorate at all, which makes foot traffic nonexistent. Setup is very easy, and the jump scare activation worked well all night." —JoshG Get it from Amazon for $189+ (also available in seven other styles). This set is 16 feet long and powered by three AA batteries (not included). It has eight different modes (combination, in wave, sequential, slow glow, flash, slow fade, twinkle, and steady on), so you can create the perfect ambiance for your Halloween party or spooky movie night. Promising review: "Lights are so cool and love the different light selections. Also very long and durable. Would definitely buy again!" —Mike Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles). Grab pillow inserts if you don't already have some lying around! Promising review: "These pillow covers were EXACTLY what I was looking for! There is nothing I love more than a creepy vintage/retro look in my home for the fall/Halloween season. These are the perfect accent for all of my 1960s blow molds sitting around! I do wish the zippers were a bit more reinforced, but I am overall thrilled with my purchase! I love changing pillow covers seasonally rather than purchasing new pillows, as it makes storage and washing a breeze. Buy them!!!" —mamaJen Promising review: "Love the spooky blue LED lights. They're nice and bright and look pretty amazing at night. These ghosts are well-made and seem to last. I have two of them, and they look great with my outdoor Halloween decor." —dinah moore Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "Absolutely loooove this lamp! It is a great size, very durable, has a dimmer switch with low or bright settings, and it's lightweight! By far the coolest lamp I have!" —KWill Promising review: "I was looking for a glasses stand because I didn't want my glasses to break due to me just throwing them on my nightstand. My mom recommended this cute skull one! I love it so sooo much, and the bowl on the back holds my car keys and hair ties. ❤️" —Abbi Boice Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "These added such a cool touch to my Halloween party. Everyone loved using the syringe to get a shot of alcohol and add it to the blood pouch! Easy to use, and the stickers made them look super real!" —Marisa Promising review: "This is perfect for my gothic kitchen. The base is very sturdy, and it has a nice weight to it. The little bat on top is cute. It looks like real wood, too." —Cherell Owens Promising review: "Arrived in perfect condition. Leaves were not bent or crushed. Great for Halloween." —cshong Get five stems from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available in packs of 10). These require two AA batteries each (not included) and have a six-hour timer function cycle (on for six hours, off for 18). Promising review: "I love these candles! They are simple, but the designs are beautiful. What I love most is the timer. I know it’s technology, but it feels like magic when they automatically turn on one by one every night. It’s so cool to watch. If you are a Halloween in your heart, all year long person, then you will love these too!" —Tami Sessions Get a set of three on Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine styles). Promising review: "Was a Christmas gift for my brother and sister-in-law who are both big classic horror fans, and they loved them! The magnetic lips are great for keeping them together!" —Tiffanie Promising review: "These are super cute! I love mine — I had them out for most of October, and they held up well under a pine tree canopy; they look exactly like they did when I put them out. Once I put them in the ground, they stayed put, no issues with blowing over. The white paint on the bones (which are raised shapes, not just painted) is not the best, but you can't tell unless you are up close. Once it fades over time, I will repaint them properly." —Queen of the Yard Get the two-pack from Amazon for $24.99. These will automatically light up at night, have an IP65 waterproof rating, and have two lighting styles (steady or twinkling). Promising review: "These spooky eyeballs are awesome! They look so cool at night in the yard when they are all lit up. They come with a solar panel attached with an on and off switch, which is really nice since you don’t have to replace the batteries continuously. They have two different modes: either a flashing mode or a solid light mode. They are well-built, too. They are bigger than I thought they would be, perfect size for the yard. I’d say the value is spot on, given the sturdiness and the quality of these lights. Great product and gives your yard a cool spooky feature for Halloween night!" —Tanner M Get a four-pack from Amazon for $23.69 (available in packs of two and six). * Home Is Your Happy Place, And It Needs Happy Things, So Here Are 26 Pieces Of Decor To Help * Products If Your Decor Ambitions Are Huge But Your Space…Is Not * If You Refuse To Let Having Cats Ruin Your Aesthetic, Here Are 24 Products That’ll Fit Into Your Home’s Decor * I Just Saved You Hours Of Amazon Searching By Finding These 27 Home Decor Items * Just 41 Fun And Weird Things To Turn Your Home Into A Mini Oddity Museum Plus, desk lamps and finds from Allmodern, Anthropologie, Article, Walmart, and Wayfair.
