You know how the cutie Halloween ghost has been trending all over the place leading up to Halloween? The most adorable ghost stools went viral at Marshalls, “Ghostie” mugs flew off the shelves at Dollar Tree, and the sweetest ghost jars got scooped up at Target. 

Well, I’m calling it now: We’re entering peak holiday buying season, and I think “cutie gingerbread” might be the new “cutie Halloween ghost.” 

In a TikTok that’s received 37,000 views, Alex Glockner (@alexglockner) came across a gingerbread stool at HomeGoods that’s complete with a pretty pink bow (so coquette!) and pink buttons and swirls. People are alerting their friends in the comment section; one tagged their friend saying, “the new stools are so cute.”

Meanwhile, in a TikTok video that’s garnered over 17,000 likes, @aurelie.erikson shows off a another cute HomeGoods gingerbread stool — this one is decked out in white, including a little bow tie. When a commenter asked how much the little guy cost, @aurelie.erikson said $59. 

Clearly, people are all over the viral gingerbread stools at HomeGoods, and I think they would make the perfect festive addition to a tiny college dorm space. HomeGoods doesn’t offer online shopping, so you’ll have to head to a store to try to snag one for yourself. 

But the trend doesn’t stop there! I’ve spotted lots of other cute gingerbread things out there, too, like these gingerbread throw pillows, also at HomeGoods, and this plush gingerbread throw pillow on JCPenney’s website and another on T.J. Maxx’s. Target’s got a little gingerbread mug; he’s wearing a scarf and earmuffs! And over at World Market, there’s a gingerbread cookie jar (really, you could store anything in it). 

Who says you can’t have Halloween and the winter holidays at the same time?!
