Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and even though it may look a little different this year, there are a few things that can make celebrating at home a little more fun. From someone who has a homebody before it was required due to Coronavirus, here are some essentials to ensure that you have a wonderful Halloween, even if you are stuck at home.
In general, candles are a staple in my daily life. They release an amazing scent and a warm glow into your living space. They just really allow me to fully relax and set the tone for a good day. So why not add a Halloween candle to your collection? This one is available on Etsy, from the store WaxonFire, which is perfect for a Halloween spent in quarantine. I mean, the candle is literally called Halloween in Quarantine! You can select your favorite scent from a list of over fifteen scents such as banana bread, clean laundry, coffee, sea salt & orchid, and white sage lavender. There are so many scents to choose from this Etsy shop, so there is definitely a scent that you are sure to fall in love with. You are also able to choose your desired size as well. The shop owner offers 2 ounces, 9 ounces, and 16-ounce candles, as well as wax melts, starting at $5.50, there is an option for everyone! Also, the illustrations of Winifred, Mary, and Sarah Sanderson on the front of this candle, allow it to double as an adorable decoration as well as something to make your home smell amazing.

Staying home and social distancing for most of us means lounging around on the couch or working hard at your desk in sweats all day. The entirety of this quarantine has been spent, for the most part, in comfy clothes. Usually a random pair of running shorts or sweatpants paired with a sweatshirt or t-shirt that does not remotely match. This Halloween-themed crewneck from the Etsy shop MomShirt is the perfect addition to your collection of loungewear and will easily match with any neutral colored, stretchy bottoms you may own! It gives off the Halloween vibe with the color options, orange and black or gray and black, and of course, is topped off with the phrase “Let’s Get Spooky”, which is just the icing on the cake. This unisex crewneck is bound to make your Halloween movie marathons more spirited and of course, a lot comfier! I mean, can it really get any better than this?
