Let Out Your Inner Witch With This Witch Hat Incense Holder

During the fall scramble to embrace everything cozy, incense often gets left behind in favor of candles. Maybe it’s because we don’t see as many of them in orange with cute fall-themed labels and scents like pumpkin spice (though, apparently, pumpkin spice incense does exist). But incense has just as much power to transport us via scent as candles do — and it can be just as seasonal and visually appealing, with the right incense holder. This witch hat incense holder, for example, is perfect for setting the Halloween mood.

Sold at Urban Outfitters, this creative incense holder is handmade and hand-painted, so each one looks slightly different, just like, we imagine, each witch’s hat does. An abandoned, smoking witch’s hat raises questions: Did some tiny witch forget her hat or leave it behind to assume a new identity? Did she melt à la the Wicked Witch of the West?

The incense holder’s shape is just as practical as it is striking. You can insert straight incense sticks into the small hole at the top of the hat, but you can also lift the pointy top off the base to house cone incense inside. That is some genius witchcraft. Cone incense is arguably best for this holder because it creates a smoking-from-within look, as if the hat is still cooling off from some powerful spell.

The witch hat incense holder is on backorder, but it’s scheduled to ship on October 17, in time for Halloween.

Did you know Urban Outfitters has a whole Halloween shop? It includes costumes for both humans and pets (like this spider dog costume, which makes its wearer look more like a bewildered dog being devoured by a massive tarantula). Many of the decor options, like the witch hat, are subtle and pretty enough to keep up year-round. There’s also plenty of incense to go with your hat.
