What to shop in October 2023: not just Halloween deals
Halloween is arguably one of the most fun and spirited holidays of the year. There's a lot of costume content and shopping happening. But what about our more practical needs? The weather is getting chilly; some prefer more sophisticated fall decor than fake spider webs and coffins scattered throughout our homes; and we need healthier alternatives to a pillowcase worth of candy.
This month, we rounded up fall finds that are helpful, priced well, and, yes, incorporate Halloween fun. There's even easy costume accessories.
First thing first: Transition your summer wardrobe into fall with a lightweight rain jacket. The neutral color says everyday wear, but the slight sheen gives it personality. And for 70% off, it's almost a steal!

Light 'em up — we're talking about the plethora of candles scattered through your home. Just don't forget design is in the details. A matchstick holder as striking (get it?) as this sets a unique vibe.
