Amy Lipson Holy crap, it’s Fall Y’All. Of all seasons, Fall in Florida is perfection! *chef kiss* Our weather is never better, and best of all-there’s Halloween! My absolute favorite holiday! The costumes, the candy, the decorations and did I mention the costumes?!! My inner drama queen is positively giddy, I tell you.
So how soon is too soon to start decorating for Halloween? Well, if you ask me -Sept 1st!
My HOA would not agree.
I’m getting started now regardless! Woot Woot
I already have my eye on decor, deals and activities for Halloween. So if you’re looking to get started early as well, (I mean, why wouldn’t you be??) then here are some of my faves. Hope you find your way to your best Fall yet!!
Pumpkin Patch
Always a great way to usher in fall, pumpkin patches are fun for the kids, a great family photo op and outdoor fun for better covid safety. Here’s a link to find a pumpkin patch nearby. You can also locate corn mazes, safe trick-or-treating locations, hayrides and other Fall and Halloween fun near you!

Decor
Obviously, Target. But be sure to check out Amazon, Michael’s, Dollar stores and even local sites like offerup for more great items and amazing discounts!
If you’re looking for something really special (not too kitschy) HomeGoods is the place to go! (Target Protip: be sure to download the app if you’re placing Online orders and earn rewards and discounts towards current and future orders!)
Costumes
This year Costco got started early with some great looking costumes! (We may or may not have already purchased a wonder woman costume in August😂) Other favorites are Amazon, Spirit stores and Etsy or Ebay if you’re looking for something unique.
Crafts
Dollar tree has had some really great fall crafts this year for the little ones and at a dollar each, they can’t be beat!
Be sure to go to your local store for plenty of Halloween (and Thanksgiving) decor and crafts before they run out! Extra bonus: Shipt will deliver from here!
