While it may seem a little early to be thinking about Halloween, Google searches for the term "summerween" — a portmanteau of summer and Halloween — are higher than ever. Plus, according to Google Trends, searches for the holiday itself have increased more than 110% over the past month alone! So you might as well get a head start on shopping (and secure everything you're eyeing before it sells out).
Keep scrolling to explore our complete list of Halloween-inspired Jellycats, DIY kits and more seasonal decor to help make your home the most festive on the block this fall. The best part? All of these items are under $40, so you'll have plenty left over to indulge in some delicious doughnuts and cider!
The best Halloween Jellycats to shop
Growing up, my parents would take me to the pumpkin patch every October and I'd always get a delicious candy apple (if I behaved). While this toffee apple is not edible (and has legs), it reminds me of fond childhood memories at the farm. I may be in my 30s, but I'm not ashamed to say I just added this plushie to my shopping cart.
Owl by day, "mocktail mixologist" by night, this wise, wizardly owl offers a unique twist to your traditional Halloween decor. With his oversized witch hat and bright orange feet, this cute and cuddly friend is sure to bring you lots of joy this Halloween season.
I am personally rushing to order Skeleton Bob on my skell-phone before he sells out. While he may be pricier than some of his other Halloween friends, his super soft black and white exterior makes him well worth the splurge.

"I’m very sensitive to artificial scents, so I’m very particular about candles and rarely purchase them," explains Marrison. "That said, last winter, a friend had an Apotheke candle burning and I loved it. It burned beautifully, I loved the packaging and I left her home without a headache (the brand uses soy wax, which I think is the thing that makes a difference for me). Lately, I’ve been eyeing this fall scent pumpkin spice candle. It makes me feel nostalgic!" she says.
