PET COSTUMES

You're probably going to need to trick your furry ones with some serious treats if you want them to rock these ensembles. This year, we plan on dressing up our pets as other animals because ... well, just because.
Buy It! PetSmart, $13.59-$15.99

FUN HEADGEAR

We leave our houses without brushing our hair sometimes, so no, we aren't looking to spend hours fussing over prosthetics to bring our fright night visions to life. These foam wigs, designed by Project Runway alum Chris March, are basically the topknot of Halloween costumes.
Buy It! Target, $20

SPOOKY CHOCOLATES

We may no longer go trick-or-treating, but we still need to get our October sugar fix – are we right or are we right? Plus, these edible skeleton cameos look way better than the half-melted candy bars we brought home as kids.
Buy It! Sugarfina, $3 each

CHALK PAINT (NO, REALLY)

Credit: Courtesy Michaels

There are two things we start wanting in the fall: candy corn and DIY projects. But instead of getting too ambitious with our costumes, we plan on getting our craft on by turning our fresh-from-the-patch pumpkins into chalkboards. Two coats of chalkboard paint later, and you'll never want to carve a pumpkin again.
Buy It! Michaels, $1.29

FIERCE FALSE LASHES

If you're trying to hit that balance between over-the-top and overboard, put down the glitter body paint and pop on a pair of falsies instead. Pro tip: You can even get a pair with glittered tips, if you must. Witches, clowns and Frozen characters alike can benefit from a little extra eye-opening drama – but we won't judge you if you recycle them for a non-Halloween party.
Buy It! Urban Decay, $15

DECORATIVE PUMPKINS

You know what your desk/tabletop/bookshelf needs? A pumpkin. But preferably one that never rots and looks way more stylish than your standard jack-o'-lantern.
