I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products. Psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon for $9.48! Promising review: "I LOOOOVE this coloring book! So many cute pages and perfect for spooky season. If you love Halloween and coloring cute images, then this is the book for you. Has a variety of pages, and all have the perfect thick lines we all love in coloring books! Add to your cart now!" —Sagrario Promising review: "Love the shapes of these cookie cutters for Halloween. They translate well once the cookies are cut out and baked. You can clearly tell what they are. They’re sturdy and have a rounded edge on top, so you don’t hurt your hands pushing down. My toddlers were able to use them with no problem. Because of their simple design, they’re easy to clean, which is always a winner in my book. I will be ordering more from this brand for Christmas and other holidays." —Jenna Get a five-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of three and seven). Promising review: "Great little piece for horror fans. It's pretty well made and packaged securely. A nice, unique addition to our horror collection." — angel15314 Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in red or brown and a Michael Myers style). This mold can be used for more than just ice cubes — you can make soap, spooky candles, or a scary chocolate treat for your next Halloween party! Promising review: "Bought a 2 pack of these silicone skull ice molds. Very, very cool, I absolutely love them. I love skulls, and these are super realistic, not alien-looking or misshapen at all. The small teeth details are perfect. They're huge! Fills up my whole palm, only need 1 for a glass of iced tea or anything really. They last longer than a handful of regular-sized ice cubes. I make a bunch ahead of time and leave them in a dish in my freezer, which looks wicked. Definitely recommend these molds to every fan of skulls!"—samantha l. Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of two and four). Promising review: "This is excellent! I was actually surprised by how great this clip is. It's metal, but not heavy on my head. It has a strong grip and stays where it's placed all day. Overall a really great product." —Shawn Browning Get it from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in 13 styles). These come in over a dozen adorable designs, from cute little pumpkins to friendly ghosts! Promising review: "These are super comfortable and true to size. The pumpkin image on them is adorable. I didn't have high expectations for these slippers, honestly, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I got them and found they are actually very high quality. The bottoms are a very lightweight, fully flexible rubber-type material." —Jackie Anne Get them from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–11.5 and 15 styles). Promising review: "Now, keeping in mind that these are supposed to be Halloween props, these are really nice. For those who are keeping these up year-round, like my gothy self, these are sooooo cute. You do have to lace them up with the bits of string included, but they feel heavy and sturdy, so I think these are winners! They definitely added some much-needed spice to my living room lamps." —Hailey Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99. Promising review: "Chopping garlic is not only messy, but it’s also smelly well after! With this garlic mincer, you never have to worry about it again! Its clever design is sturdy, easy to clean, and space-saving. Their products make cooking fun!!" —Jeannette Velez These battery-powered candles require two AA batteries (not included). Promising review: "A must-have set for people who decorate their house like it's Halloween all year." —Kyle Get a set of three on Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 15 styles). Promising review: "I love this paper towel holder! The spooky girl in me was so excited to receive this!" —Shimmering Ember Design Promising review: "I purchased these after I saw them in a viral TikTok video, and they did not disappoint! Every single one of the candles works perfectly, and the flame flickers just like a real candle. They were really easy to put up in the ceiling because they were already strong with the fishing line. I just used clear thumbtacks and wrapped the line around them and hung it on the ceiling. The wand is so cool and works perfectly well for turning on and off the lights. I definitely would purchase more to add a little bit more magic throughout the house! Absolutely worth it!" —Korg Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six varieties). Promising review: "All my neighbors bring out Halloween decor in September. It's my first time truly doing decor outside the home. It’s a hit! We had some bushes in our front yard, and it looks like a cool sidewalk museum with these outside." —Val Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and three pack styles). Mr. Zombies Workshop is a small business that creates miniature replicas for horror fans. You can get miniature VHS earrings, keychains, or magnets. Even replicas of your favorite horror sets! Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with my ROLD and Demons VHS magnets! They are more detailed than I thought they'd be! Amazing quality and fast shipping. Now I have to resist buying 100 more!! Will absolutely be purchasing more in the future!"—Jay Steinbock Get it from Mr. Zombies Workshop on Etsy for $5 (available for dozens of movie titles; each magnet sold separately). 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 Promising review: "This little witch is not only cute and adorable, she stops pots from boiling over, keeps the lid tipped a bit, and holds onto the spoon. Nice little addition to the kitchen gadgets!" —LBell Promising review: "I took a chance on this item and was expecting something that I could use perhaps for one or two seasons. I was blown away by the quality of what I received. It is thick and really well-made! This is a piece that is going to last for years. The detail on it is amazing, and it was exactly what my mantel needed to anchor all of my Halloween decor. I highly recommend this product." —Exhausted in the Burbs Promising review: "I have had this straw topper for only two days and have already received so many compliments from friends and individuals at the gym. I find it great that you get four toppers for such a good price, but these are such good quality that I don't imagine they will break easily. The ghost is the perfect size, doesn't look too big on the straw, and really grips onto the straw! I am someone who likes to celebrate spooky season all year, so these are perfect!!" —Marina Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99. Clay Art by Deckmann is a Seattle-based small business offering handmade clay art made in the Pacific Northwest. Promising review: "I bought this little ghostie spoon holder as a Christmas gift, and it was of such beautiful quality. I loved it! Not only was the product excellent, but Janice also went above and beyond to let me know when I could expect my order to ship, despite a massive snowstorm! I highly recommend her shop!" —Gabrielle Anderson Get it from Clay Art by Deckmann on Etsy for $27. Free shipping is included! Promising review: "This spider pillow is incredibly soft/plush and very comfortable. I got him to add to my Halloween throw pillows for our bed, but honestly, I might just keep him up all year because he's soo cute and snuggly!" —Amber Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "They are exactly the size of bottles I was looking for to store my herbs. Decent quality glass. Will definitely buy more of these in the future!" —Amazon Customer Promising review: "Such a great Halloween blanket! It is so soft, and the quality is great. I wish I could use it year-round." —JJ Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in six designs). Promising review: "It turned out to be perfect for the gothic vibe I have in mind for Halloween this year. I haven't had any tipping issues with it at all, and I love that it's both unique and affordable. I personally wouldn't use this with real flowers that need water because it would probably be fairly difficult to clean out, but they are excellent for fake flowers and display. The holes are small, but it was OK, and I actually loved that it took some creativity and effort to build a custom look in this vase. For me, this was perfect." —Aurelia Lee Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in five colors). Promising reviews: "I saw the name and cover art for this book, and I swear it sang a siren song to me, and I HAD to have it! This is the perfect book for those who are spooky at heart and love to cook. When I originally looked at this book, I assumed it would be a cookbook with some small snippets of ghost stories in it, but instead, I was surprised to find a history of haunted places sprinkled with ghost stories and a partnering recipe, which I LOVE!! Bruni includes menus at the end of the book to pair the various recipes together. I love the idea of sharing a ghost story with each course. Bruni, please come out with a Part Two!" —allison h "I am IN LOVE with this book. Its gorgeous photography, combined with unique recipes and stories of hauntings and the paranormal from across the country, results in something that’s more than just a cookbook. It’s an experience. And one that I am having a blast sharing with my friends and family as I whip up one delicious dish after another! Highly recommend." —daphne Promising review: "Spooky night-light keeps you safe from accidental falls and demon visits. Easy to plug in and super cute in the hallway." —yvette 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. Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "This item definitely exceeded the definition of cuteness. I bought this for my bookshelf, and now my nieces are asking for one for their room. 🎃 Love how it has a timer for 30 minutes. It works great." —Book_Hollows Shrimps Stickers is a small business based in Michigan. Promising review: "Such an adorable sticker! I love it so much! Fast shipping!" —Riley Get it from Shrimps Stickers on Etsy for $1.99+ (available in packs of up to 25). Free shipping is included! Promising review: "Absolutely love it. Elvira has been my idol since I was a kid, so I had to buy this for my 5-year-old daughter. She made me read it to her about six times in a row as soon as I took it out of the package." —Teresa Morato If you don't have some already, grab a pair of pillow inserts to go with these covers! For the fluffiest pillow, opt for an insert that's 2 inches bigger than your cover (so if you get an 18x18-inch cover, you'll want a 20x20-inch insert for optimal fluffiness). Promising review: "These are good quality and absolutely beautiful. They will be great with my fall decorating." —Bonnie Get an 18x18 pair from Amazon for $11.99 (available in eight sizes and 25 styles). Promising review: "Adorable little ceramic ghosts for your dining table, kitchen, bedroom dresser, living room coffee table, or even bathroom counter! Comes with little tea lights to go underneath, their matching witch hats, and little glue dots to put inside the hats so they stay put on top of the ghost heads. If you don't use these glue dots, the hats will definitely slide off. There's no remote control and no timer on the tea lights, so you'll have to manually turn them on and off. They are so cute. You get a black, white, and soft pink ceramic ghost in the box." —Lori * Every Day Is One More Closer To Halloween, So Here Are 31 Products To Start Celebrating * These 32 Products On Amazon’s “Hot New Releases” List Are Perfect For Fall * Under-$10 Products With Some Real “Oh, You’re Like, Super Into Fall” Energy * Things You’ll Wish You’d Bought Last Fall Because They’re That Good * Things You Need If You Plan On Being Cozy All Fall Long * If You Wait All Year For Fall Fashion, You’ll Want These 31 Cute Pieces The reviews used in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
