first haul of the spooky season

As a huge fan of autumn and the spooky season, I always look forward to refreshing my home with seasonal scents and decor to create that cozy, inviting atmosphere. This year, I decided to start with some amazing candles that really capture the essence of fall. One of my favorite picks from the haul is the DW Home Sea Salt Pumpkin candle. What I love about it is the balance of salty sea air mixed with the warm, spiced notes of pumpkin – it’s not your typical overly sweet pumpkin scent, which makes it perfect for welcoming guests or just relaxing alone. Another standout is the Midnight Spell candle, which offers a rich and mysterious fragrance thanks to its vegan soy wax blend. I appreciate that these candles are hand-poured and vegan, reflecting a conscious choice for quality and sustainability. Also, the long burn time of approximately 33 hours means that each candle lasts well through many cozy nights. Aside from candles, I also enjoy layering my autumn home setup with themed decor like basement scents that hint at nostalgic fall breakfasts or crisp autumn mornings. These subtle additions create a holistic spooky season experience that is both comforting and festive. My advice for anyone starting their spooky season haul is to prioritize scents and decor that resonate with your personal memories of fall. Whether it’s a cold morning breakfast smell or the whisper of autumn leaves, those familiar notes truly make your space feel like home during this most magical time of the year.
