Festive October Finds: Halloween Decor, Gifts & Cozy Picks

It’s spooky szn baby!

Witches, it’s time. October is here and finally, we can lean into our cheesiest, most festive selves. I do not care what your preferred halloween vibe is - there is something for all of us in October. As for me, I lean towards an ethereal witchiness akin to the Practical Magic sisters and decorating my house in stars and moons and general celestial vibes - but I also celebrate the horror movie buffs and the more-cute-than-scary Casper types.

Ooh and for the corporate gals, it’s Q4 and that means we’re imminently close to being able to say “that sounds like a problem for next year” about all of our problems. Yes!

A few things to enjoy this October -

Pumpkin spice if you’re into it. Apple cider and hot chai lattes if you’re not.
Shamelessly staying in to binge watch something you’ve already binge watched. Gilmore Girls is a classic, but may I also suggest Friends or Parenthood?
A true crime podcast + a long walk. Step on some crunchy leaves! I like My Favorite Murder for its breaks in the tension and always a lighthearted ending.
Lana’s Season of the Witch.
Related: Snoopy Jazz.
A dark academia book to read. I just picked up The Academy and I’m reading to dive into some boarding school drama.

Now, let’s round up a few new festive finds!

I’m talking Halloween things that feel festive without requiring me to turn my house into a haunted attraction — little luxuries, cozy things, and just enough spooky to make October more fun.
