5 Costco Home Goods You'll Want On Hand For A Warm & Cozy Fall

When there's a nip in the air and the leaves turn reddish-brown, it's officially pumpkin latte (read: autumn) season and time to retire your bright summer decorations. While you can try out varied adorable Dollar Tree DIYs to get your home ready for fall, making your own decorations might not be possible if you're too busy picking apples from an orchard or carving pumpkins with your friends and family. But don't let this be a reason to not deck out your home in fall-appropriate decor. Get Halloween-themed and fall-inspired decor from Costco's home products section instead.

However, before you grab the motion sensored 7-foot animated werewolf with illuminated eyes to scare trick-or-treaters on Halloween night, sift through Costco's home goods section to snag less expensive gems, like decorative pillows, floral arrangements, and cozy throws, that will help you enjoy warm fall evenings with loved ones. To help you choose the right pieces, we've sifted through Costco's website (and only got side-tracked a couple dozen times, so you won't) to create a list of the best items. We only chose items that had over 4-star ratings and that cost under $100. With that in mind, here are our top five Costco home goods picks for fall.

Decorative pillows are one of the easiest ways to changeover your house from summer to fall. After all, you don't have to put in any effort and your interiors will look ready to host fall gatherings and Halloween parties. But having the right accent pillows is important or your subtle decor-related message will get lost in translation. If you're looking for fall-inspired or Halloween-themed pillows to add some pizzazz to your living room, check out Costco's Brentwood Originals Halloween Harvest Themed Decorative Pillows that retail for $19.99 each online. With almost a 5-star rating, this is one home product you should be buying at Costco.

Better yet, you get to choose among four available variants: Batty Moon, Pumpkin, Scottish Harvest, and Ghost. While the spooky bats on the moon and harvest-specific pillows feature cool designs, the pumpkin and ghost ones look exactly like their namesake and will add a fun element to your decor. These polyester pillows are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning they've been thoroughly tested for over 350 toxins that could be detrimental to your health. The only caveat? You won't be able to toss the pillows in your washer once they get dirty. They must be spot-cleaned with a damp microfiber cloth. Dryers are a no-no, too, so you'll have to air dry them.

Flowers help brighten your interiors, and if you switch them out according to the season, they can be a great way to keep your home decor on par with cyclical variations. So, trade in your summer blooms for fall ones, like petunias, verbenas, lantanas, camellias, Japanese anemone, chrysanthemums, violas, and pansies. However, if running out and changing the drooping flowers regularly seems like a lot of work, get the fall-esque arrangements delivered straight to your doorstep. Costco's Bonfire Fall Floral arrangement costs $54.99 with a vase and $49.99 without one.

The arrangement consists of 27 stems, including dark pink alstroemeria, burgundy safari sunset, dark pink roses, peach and red mums, green eucalyptus, orange Asiatic lily, and green pine branches. Given the silent time clock ticking on the lives of the blooms, Costco provides the option to choose the delivery date at checkout. Note that the flowers are only delivered between Tuesday and Friday, so be mindful of the date you want the flowers on. Moreover, the arrangement can only be ordered till November 22 and orders can only be canceled by November 11. Additionally, you won't find them in-store since they're only available online.

Need something visually interesting to capture your guests and visitors as soon as they step through the front door? Grab a Stacked Halloween Greeter from Costco. The 24-inch tall decoration is priced at $39.97 and has an almost 5-star rating. The hand-painted stacker features a ghost, a bat, and a pumpkin having a jolly-good time. This makes it a good choice for families with little kids. It's made of resin and weighs 7.27 pounds. Also keep in mind that it's only made for indoor use.

On the other hand, if you want a greeter that's a blend of sweet and spooky, Costco also has a Disney Halloween Mickey and Minnie Pumpkin Greeter. While the adorable Mickey and Minnie Mouse add to the darling look of the greeter, the sinister jack-o-lantern covers the eerie part. Plus, the pumpkin comes to life with light and sound, making it more visually interesting. Keep in mind that it needs three C-type batteries to run (they're included with the greeter). Costing $99.99, the greeter almost has a 5-star rating as well. Like its cousin, it can only be installed indoors. However, it weighs 12.7 pounds, so ensure you have someone to help you carry it inside.

Though the fall season is all about leaning into the dark side of things, your accident-prone feet, kids, and pets will appreciate a steady source of light to illuminate their path after dusk. Bonus advantage: ghosts lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportune moment to scream 'boo' will have to rethink their strategy. If you'd rather not turn on all the lights in your home, grab a Desert Steel Pumpkin Luminary Set from Costco instead. The pumpkins are made of steel and sport a powder-coated finish. Priced at $86.99, the set has a rating of almost 4.5 stars.

The best part, though? You can use it indoors and outdoors since it's rust-resistant and won't fade under the sun's glaring rays. Plus, the set has both a tall and a squatty pumpkin and comes in two color options, giving you various choices. You can pick the traditional orange ones or go with a white hue to brighten your autumn decorations. Want to set a moody vibe? Snag the powder-coated black and antique white Pumpkin Luminary Set for the same price. The only drawback to these options? You'll have to spring for tealights or flameless candles, since light sources are not included. Additionally, the set is only available online, so don't go hunting for them in-store.

You put on Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" or cue another re-watch of Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House," get your popcorn tub ready, line your candies, and dim the lights to feel the chills. But you're still missing something: a throw blanket. This is necessary to banish goosebumps during jump-scares and to keep yourself warm despite your drafty windows. A blanket can also make your sofa look more welcoming when not in use. If you're looking for a blanket in a neutral tone with some texture, House & Home's Luxe Throws are available on Costco's website for $19.99. These 60-inch by 70-inch polyester throw blankets, which have a bubbly texture and are covered in faux fur, are available in white, gray, and light and dark brown shades. Plus, they have an almost 5-star rating and are machine washable and dryable. They're also two-ply, meaning that they may be warmer and more comfortable than other options.

However, if you want to add more color to your home, check out Pendleton's Plush Throws, available for $16.99 at Costco. With an average rating that's above 4.5 stars, these throws are 100% polyester and have four variants in various patterns and colors. The 50-inch by 70-inch throws are machine-washable and soft to the touch. However, these blankets likely won't keep you as warm as the House & Home option.
