Every summer, I tell myself I’m just browsing Anthropologie’s Halloween section, but every year, I end up with a cart full of irresistible finds I can’t wait to display around my home.

This year’s spooky-yet-stylish lineup includes a golden cat candleholder ($26), an embroidered table runner ($58; $41) and Halloween-themed Icon juice glasses ($16) that make your daily cup of OJ instantly more fun. Indeed, Anthro’s newest Halloween decor nails that perfect balance: festive without feeling gimmicky, playful without going full kitsch—so you can confidently start decorating early. I certainly am. Here are the ten cutest pieces I’m scooping up for less than $50.

If you know, you know. Anthropologie’s Icon glass collection has earned itself quite a cult following—and this year, the brand has released ten adorable designs just for Halloween. Each glass features tiny beaded icons—think witch ghosts, fangs, aliens and gummy worms—pressed by hand into blown-glass cups. And while they'd make a killer vessel for a candy corn cocktail, these glasses double as eye candy on a bar cart or a quirky brunch tablescape all year round. (Psst: You can get 20 percent off if you buy four RN, so it's a good time to start your own collection.)

Crafted from glazed stoneware with 24-karat gold decals, this vanity tray is definitely more chic than creepy. The black cat motif is a must-have for feline fans, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. One shopper said they bought it to display year-round in honor of their cats, while another confirmed it’s "the purrfect size for jewelry or other small items." What they didn't mention is that the decals are hand applied, making each one unique.

Cats are clearly the unofficial mascot of Anthro's Halloween collection, and I'm not complaining. Hand-carved from aluminum, this glitzy candleholder is elevated enough for year-round display on your tablescape or bookshelf. One buyer noted that, unlike other options, it features a pin at the bottom to help hold the candle perfectly upright, so you don't have to worry about a toppling flame ruining dinner.

A seasonal twist on a hosting staple, this stoneware platter is the kind of piece that earns you compliments long after October 31. Its magical mosaic design features lunar accents, a wide-eyed owl and a classic witchy phrase complete with 24-karat gold accents to add some glam to your spooky soirée. It measures 16.25 inches long by 8 inches wide, so you can use it now to serve snacks, then fill it with candy or creepy treats come Halloween.

Take one look at this table runner and tell me that the squiggly trim and black-and-white colorway don't make it feel like it came straight out of a Tim Burton movie. Yep, this whimsical tabletop accent has gotten a gothic update ahead of the haunting season. But don't get too scared—the cotton number is machine-washable, so let the freaky feasts commence.

Think of this candle as autumn in a jar—hand-poured into a glass vessel shaped like a pumpkin. Inside, it’s filled with a soy wax blend scented with pumpkin, clove and vanilla; warm, spicy and just sweet enough to soften the edge without overwhelming the room. The extra-small size has a single wick and a 30-hour burn time, while the medium offers three wicks and up to 85 hours of fragrance. Better yet, the large candle has a 250-hour burn time that I plan to enjoy, little by little, from now through Halloween (and possibly beyond).

Drying dishes will feel a heck of a lot more fun with this towel. Crafted from 100 percent cotton slub, it’s gentle on glassware and easy to clean, making it perfect for repeated use. But, of course, the real draw is its display-worthy design. As one reviewer raves, “This towel is beautiful and vibrant in person.” At $24, it’s a spooktacular steal.

Wake up and smell the...bat cat?! Hand-painted and glazed, this ceramic mug features a curved handle for comfy lifting and sipping, along with a retro silhouette and illustration that makes it feel like a vintage find . It’s microwave- and dishwasher-safe, too, so don’t be surprised if it becomes your new favorite.

All charm, no kitsch. These taper candles are hand-painted with pumpkins, making them perfect for harvest dinner parties well after Halloween. Made from paraffin wax with cotton wicks, they’re unscented and burn for up to 10 hours, fitting standard 1-inch taper holders. Each set includes two 12.5-inch-tall candles. Paired with an earthy centerpiece, they read more cottagecore than party store

If you'd rather delight than fright those trick-or-treaters (and anyone else who comes to your door this October), this playful welcome mat is a must. Guests are sure to get a kick out of the costumed kitty and fish bone motif, which is screen-printed onto 100 percent coir, a coarse and durable material great for wiping off your shoes.
