When summer stretches endlessly before us, there are two events that keep the dog days at bay: Christmas in July and Summerween. Well, the latter is coming even earlier this year, with retailers like Anthropologie, Bath & Body Works and the Disney Store rolling out some mighty fine—and spooky—merch. From iconic juice glasses to creepy throw blankets and cute candle pedestals, here are my favorite picks for Augtober. Get your Halloween candy ready!

1. Anthropologie Mystic Confetti Glasses
Anthropologie
Anthropologie's wildly popular Icon Juice Glasses just got a Halloween makeover. Available starting August 14, these 17-ounce, handblown glasses feature beaded accents. My friend gifted me two food-themed ones for my birthday, and I can attest that they're the perfect size for serving up lemonades in addition to holding the perfect amount of yogurt in a breakfast parfait. Do note that they're hand-wash only and sensitive to heat and dramatic temperature changes.
When I think of Disney's Haunted Mansion franchise, my mind is filled with Madame Leota's crystal ball and singing busts. What was totally off my radar? The tasteful fleur-de-lys-inspried wallpaper. It's now a cozy, creepy throw blanket at the Disney Store, made from woven chenille yarn with a Jacquard weave and fringe accents. (It's also reversible.) Measuring 60 x 50 inches, it'll keep a group of kids cozy under the AC as they queue up one of the two film adaptations.
3. "Sweet Nightmares" Wall Sign
Ashland
Yes, Wednesday Addams would be absolutely horrified, but I'm actually quite taken with Michaels' line of Sweet and Spooky Halloween decor. While she would have abhorred the pink, the phrase is definitely on-brand. (And let's just say the color was a compromise with Enid.)

Halloween is my least favorite time of year...because I never know if my heart's going to get blown out of my chest during an accidental run-in with Chucky or a skeletal ghost as I round the corner at Target. Thankfully, there are plenty of options for cute, gently spooky decorations—including this adorable little witch. Sure, she's in the process of impaling her fellow jack-o-lantern, but who could be truly terrified of those big, round eyes?

Who knew ghosts could be so cute? Here, seven cheerful, pastel ghosts peep from an oblong dish that appears to be a bathtub. When burned, the candle emits the sweet, milky scent of chantilly creme as the ghosts dissipate into the air.
6. Bath & Body Works Ghost Jack-o'-Lantern Pedestal
Bath & Body Works
When it comes to seasonal decor, I always attempt to make it as multi-purpose as possible. Enter: This cute and spooky ghost pedestal that can support any three-wick candle. Instead of racing to burn through seasonal scents before the last trick-or-treater knocks on your door, you can put all your favorite candles on this festive little guy, and store just one item to whip out the following year. Can you say, "BOO!"?
