I’m not normally a super “festive” person, but that changes once Halloween rolls around. Blame it on the fact that I’ve aged out of trick-or-treating (sad), but putting up cutesy decorations makes me feel like a kid again. And now that it’s officially fall, the Halloween decor selection is at its peak — especially at T.J. Maxx. You never know what rare gems you’ll find in the store’s seasonal section; just look at this adorable set of Peanuts Great Pumpkin Plates. My inner child just about squealed.  

When I was growing up, we always kicked off the spooky season with a screening of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Now it feels like Halloween wouldn’t hit the same without a little bit of that childhood nostalgia on my table. Sure, you could try your luck finding the plates in-store, but why risk going home empty-handed? Here’s why I’d order them online ASAP while they’re still available. 

Why I Love These Peanuts Great Pumpkin Plates for Halloween

These aren’t disposable plastic plates that will invariably end up in a landfill after a few years. They’re ceramic pieces you’ll be excited to bring out every year. Each plate in the three-pack features a whimsical printed design inspired by the iconic Charlie Brown film, finished with an orange trim you can coordinate with the rest of your tablescape. 

The Great Pumpkin Plates aren’t just an adorable way to serve Halloween treats: Mount them on your wall as quirky, vintage decor, or use them as a festive gallery wall filler (they’re small enough to fit between pieces!). You could even prop them up on plate stands and style them on a buffet table or console as decorative accents.

If the Great Pumpkin Plates sell out before you can snag a set online (such is the way with T.J. Maxx), don’t worry — there’s a lot more where that came from. I scoured the store’s website to find the cutest Halloween decorations you can buy right now.

Marmont Hill White Ghost Monet Wall Art, 16"x20"
$30

At first glance, this wall art looks like a classic, Monet-inspired piece. But upon closer inspection, you’ll find cheeky ghosts wandering throughout. It’s Halloween decor that doesn’t scream Halloween, and the frame gives it a vintage feel.

Asquith and Somerset Pumpkin Hand Soap In Glass Bottle
$7

Swap out your everyday soap dispenser for this gourd-shaped one filled with pumpkin-scented hand soap. The glass vessel has a beautiful orange tint that adds a bit of vintage warmth to your bathroom vanity. I’d happily keep it out beyond the spooky season.

Cath Kitson Cotton Spooky Dogs Sheet Set, Full
$50$25

Personally, I’m not above using themed bed sheets, and this set features an adorable illustrated motif of dogs in costume. Cuteness aside, they’re 100% cotton, which makes them a breathable option for sleeping.

Martha Stewart Lets Hang Needlepoint Pillow
$20$14

The needlepoint design on this Martha Stewart pillow is all kinds of adorable (and kind of reminds me of Furbish Studio). It’s just the kind of cutesy Halloween accent I love — and the $14 price is tough to beat!
