It is officially October and the Fall season is in full-swing. This means, pumpkin-spice everything, orange and black decor galore, and leaves all over the place. My goal for you is to give thrifting a try this Autumn. There’s so much to explore in second-hand stores; you never know the gems you can come across! Not only do you not need to pay full price, but you can own one-of-a-kind pieces to decorate your home. My overall tip for you this year is to invest in pieces you can use again and again. While mums and corn stalks are festive, they won’t withstand the test of time. Instead, grab those items that won’t expire and you will find a lovely collection of pieces to choose from year after year!
Below is my list of festive fixtures I found in my recent trip to the Streetsboro Goodwill located at 1703 OH-303, Streetsboro, OH 44241
Thereâs something magical about stumbling upon a classic pumpkin decoration at Goodwillâitâs like rediscovering a piece of nostalgia that instantly sparks joy. This timeless symbol of Halloween, with its warm orange glow and simple design, perfectly captures the essence of the holiday. It will withstand the test of time! Itâs these classic touches that bring the Halloween look full circle, creating a cozy, nostalgic ambiance that feels both familiar and festive. This year I’m all about collecting as many pumpkins as I can!
Finding seasonal decorations like lanterns, glasses, and plates at Goodwill is a fun part of the treasure hunt. I enjoy that dedicated Goodwill employees place items together because it makes shopping easier! In big-box stores, these kinds of items would break the bank but I find that I can purchase several things with the same budget at the Goodwill Akron stores. I spotted vintage lanterns, character pieces, and party-ready essentials at the Streetsboro location. Each of these items can be easily added to your yearly collection!
#3 Wigs
Finding wigs at Goodwill for Halloween is a goldmine for creative costume seekers! Whether you’re aiming to channel a classic character, a spooky ghoul, or something completely out-of-the-box, Goodwill often has a unique variety of wigs at unbeatable prices. I found these neatly placed with like-new items at the Streetsboro location. I love adding vibrant colors to funky cuts to my costume department at home because it helps so much when deciding what to wear each year for trick or treat. It’s the perfect way to get into the spirit of the season! Pro tip: keep the packaging! You’ll want to remember how to style it!
#4 Masks
Finding Halloween masks at Goodwill is a fantastic way to add a layer of mystery and creativity to your costume while expanding your collection. Whether you’re aiming for a classic horror look, a whimsical character, or something totally original, Goodwill often carries a surprising variety of masks at affordable prices. I find it’s so fun to come across past masks and reminisce about the fun! Adding these unique masks to your collection means youâll have endless options for future Halloweens or even themed parties.
#5 Halloween-Inspired Clothing
Finding Halloween prints in clothing at Goodwill is something I love to uncover. It’s a way to be even more festive and embrace the change of season. I loved this display at the Streetsboro location that tied a spooky skirt with a classic white blouse giving it a modern twist. From vintage tees to patterned sweaters and unique accessories, the selection is perfect for building a stylish yet budget-friendly Halloween wardrobe. I recommend putting the clothes inside of your decoration bins so every year, you just pull those out while you decorate. It’s a great space saver too!
I hope that I inspired you to add sustainable items to your Halloween collection that will withstand the test of time. While flowers, mums, and pumpkins are festive, you can begin to truly save money year after year by adding pieces that do not expire.
