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. 

Peanuts Great Pumpkin Appetizer Plates, Set of 3

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.

Snoopy Costumes 3D Matte Appetizer Plates, Set of 4

Seriously, what’s not to love about these Snoopy appetizer plates? Each one features the iconic character in a different Halloween getup. And the matte beige ceramic makes them easy to mix into almost any table setting.

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.

Ghosts, jack-o’-lanterns, skeletons, trick-or-treaters — they’re all accounted for on this cute Halloween throw pillow, which features detailed beading and contrast piping for tailored detail.

Rachel Zoe Skeleton Tapestry Throw
$30$15

This Rachel Zoe tapestry throw looks cozy enough for horror movie marathons, but chic enough to leave draped on the sofa once the credits roll, thanks to its crossbones border and fringe trim.

Skull and Bones Frankenstein Confetti Double Old-Fashioned Glasses, Set of 2
$15$8

This set of drinking glasses gives a similar vibe to those viral juice glasses you see all over the internet, for less than $10. Between the speckled design and tiny monsters, it’s the perfect vessel for a Halloween mocktail.

The Farmhouse by Rachel Ashwell Sherpa 3D Pumpkin
$20$10

Toss this pumpkin cushion on a sofa or accent chair for no-fuss Halloween decorating. Wrapped in cozy-looking sherpa, it adds plenty of texture without feeling overly Halloween-y. Plus, it doubles as an extra pillow when guests come over.

Well Dressed Home Metal Skeleton Hand Garden Stakes, 2-Pack
$25

No space for a towering yard skeleton? These garden stakes give a similar effect, albeit in a much smaller footprint. You could even stick them in a potted houseplant for spooky vibes indoors.

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.

$25 at TJ Maxx
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!
