    23 Things From Target That You’ll Love If You Take Spooky Season Very Seriously

    Double, double, toil and trouble, scented candle burn and cauldron-shaped coffee mug bubble. 🎃

    1. A stoneware cauldron mug for your morning (witch’s) brew, because you’ve got a lot of magic to do today and you’re going to need something to fuel you up for it. This dishwasher- and microwave-safe pick even has little feet – but don’t worry; it's not in any danger of walking away. (Not unless you enchant it to do so, at least.)

    2. A gorgeous machine-washable gothic placemat that's as eerily elegant as you are. Sure, at first glance, they might look like they’re sporting an understated black-and-white floral pattern – but look closer. No, closer. Closer still. There. Perfect. Now you’re close enough to get caught in all those spooky spiderwebs tucked sneakily in between all those pretty flowers.

    3. A raven-adorned throw pillow just waiting to squawk “Nevermore!” at you from your favorite armchair. Woven with creepy care and tasseled at the corners, this square pillow is as atmospheric as it is cozy.

    4. An ever-popular Dash mini waffle maker that’ll let you eat spiderwebs for breakfast. Well, not literally – I do not recommend eating actual spiderwebs – but there’s a weird sort of joy to be had in dressing up your Halloween brunch table with edible waffle-webs, isn’t there?

    5. A haunted clock tower cat scratcher, so your familiar — er, kitty — can have something spooky to take their more destructive tendencies out on instead of, y’know, your couch. This double-decker cat house includes scratchable floors on both levels, along with spiderwebs and skeletons galore. Does your pet care if their toys are seasonally on point? No. Do you? Dang right, you do.

    6. A set of skeleton PJs that are practically made for wearing while dancing around the house to the tune of “Spooky, Scary Skeletons.” Or if dancing isn’t your thing, just cozy up in this two-piece set to watch your favorite horror movies while munching on your favorite seasonal snacks instead. Skeletons don’t judge.

    7. A printed plush throw blanket you’ll go positively batty for. The all-over bat print on this fleecy blanket will keep aspiring vampires of all types cozy when the weather gets cooler. Plus, it's machine-washable, so no ancient incantations required to get popcorn dust out of it.

    8. A “midnight moon” three-wick candle that’ll bring some witchy vibes to your space, STAT. Shaped like a crescent moon and boasting a spiced, woodsy fall scent, this ceramic candle is all the best parts of spooky season, wrapped up into one cute little package.

    9. The Modern Witch Tarot Coloring Book by Lisa Sterle, because, I mean… it’s literally the season of the witch. If not now, when? With this book, not only do you get to color in some truly gorgeous artwork; you also get to learn about the tarot and modern day witchcraft, and even do some guided reflection about your own life. Heck yes.

    10. A vintage-inspired LED skull light that ticks all the eerie ~aesthetic~ boxes, all in one go. These slick lights pack the same retro punch as the neon lights of old – just without the, uh, neon. Safer? More energy efficient? Just as creepy-cool? Yes please!

    11. A spooktacular stoneware appetizer plate so stunning, you’ll want to use it all year. With five eerie, vintage designs to choose from, these dishwasher- and microwave-safe nibbles plates have you covered no matter what you’re into, from black cats to jack-o-lanterns and everything in between.

    12. A Hocus Pocus graphic T-shirt that’ll make you want to run amok, amok, amok whenever you wear it. Made of 100% cotton jersey material for softness and adorned with the silhouettes of everyone’s favorite witchy sisters, this crew-neck tee will keep you comfy, whether you’re picking pumpkins or trying to convince someone to light the black flame candle.

    13. The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas, because nothing beats a good gothic haunted house story at this time of year. Grab a flashlight and hide under the blankets while you read this one – it’ll make you jump at strange noises and look a little too closely at the shadows in your room.

    14. A rustic orange throw pillow that’ll… uh… let’s say keep your guests on their toes whenever they visit. That’s assuming your guests are corporeal, of course; I’m assuming any ghost guests you might have probably wouldn’t be bothered by the idea of more ghosts waiting out in the garden. Ghost garden party, anyone?

    15. A Halloween embroidery kit, so you can get your craft on in a seasonally apropos way. (You’re gonna need something to keep your hands busy with as you power through that stack of horror movies you’ve got queued up, right?) This beginner-friendly kit includes everything you need to stitch a beautiful orange, yellow, and white moth against a black cloth background. And when you’re done, you’ve got a nice piece of darkly beautiful décor to display in your home all year long!

    16. A set of spider and web earrings from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar that are totally work-appropriate (depending on your workplace, of course – YMMV). This set comes with one sparkly pair of spiders and one pair of equally shiny webs; wear each pair on their own, or mix and match one earring from each pair – they’ll look spooktacular either way!

    The earrings

    17. A hauntingly beautiful little skull planter made of resin and full of faux chrysanthemums, because who says you can’t be spooky and pretty at the same time? Bonus: These colorful blossoms will never die, even if you’ve been cursed with a black thumb instead of blessed with a green one. Everybody wins!

    18. A set of string lights haunted by teeny tiny ghosts, for the ultimate eerie atmosphere. The 20 ghost-shaped reflectors on this 58” string aren’t too scary, though – proof that you can be cute whether or not you’re corporeal.

    19. A pair of festive Halloween dish towels that’ll make cleaning up actually fun. This duo of orange and black terry towels boast all the jack-o-lantern inspiration you could ever need – even if you don’t particularly like getting pumpkin guts all over your hands.

    20. A black spiderweb lace tablecloth perfect for anyone whose interior design style might best be described as Miss Havisham Having A Dinner Party. With its scalloped edges and witchy pattern, it’ll dress up your table in its most accurséd best.

    21. A cheeky door mat that’ll welcome your favorite boos (get it?) with a ghostly grin. Made of natural coir and backed with PVC, this mat will make even the most haunted of houses feel warm and welcoming.

    22. A three-pack of “Burt’s Boos” lip balms, so you can keep your pucker moisturized as the weather gets cooler. By “Burt’s Boos,” of course, I mean Burt’s Bees – this Halloween pack of their crowd-pleasing lip balm is made up of fantastically seasonal flavors like Chai and Pumpkin Spice. Yum!

    23. And a 3-foot-tall posable skeleton if you feel like freaking your neighbors out this season. True, this lil’ guy is no 12-footer – but he’s still looking for his forever home, and he can’t wait to see what hilarious positions you might put him in in the name of spooky seasonal delight. Have fun, kids.
