The 10 Best Things to Buy at HomeGoods in Fall 2024

A visit to HomeGoods always promises to be magical, especially in the fall when seasonal treats await. You don’t need to carry a list with you, just keep an open mind to see what must-have treasures might await you there. Before fall (as early as late summer) and in season, new shipments of fall items arrive weekly and are quickly placed on the shelves, only to be quickly snapped up by shoppers who find the best items first.

And this year the harvest seems to be even bigger than last year, with pumpkins, candles and pillows already calling our way. Remember: Shipping times and inventory may vary by location, so you may want to make multiple trips to your local store to make sure you don’t miss out.

Here are the best things to buy at HomeGoods in fall 2024.

Home decoration

Artificial greenery and autumn flowers

One of the first things you’ll notice at HomeGoods once the fall items arrive in store are the greenery and flowers. There’s a good seasonal selection of fall faux plants, branches and flowers that can be used for arrangements that last all season and completely transform a room. Opt for a fall-inspired wreath for your front door or bouquets of fall branches for your indoor and outdoor pots and vases.

Artificial pumpkins

HomeGoods may have the largest and best selection of faux pumpkins in all styles, sizes, materials and colors—especially if you shop in early August and September. We’re particular fans of the elegant blown glass pumpkins, rustic burlap pumpkins and classic orange “realistic” pumpkins that spice up our fall decor indoors and out.

Decorative pillows

Arguably the quickest and easiest way to spruce up your living room and bedroom for fall is to swap out or add decorative pillows. HomeGoods has tons of options for seasonal pillows in many different designs, including spooky Halloween pillows, Thanksgiving pillows decorated with turkeys, colorful fall-inspired pillows, and pillows with cheeky fall sayings on them. Add them to your sofa or bed for an instant fall refresh.

Cozy candles

Who doesn’t love the smell of fall in the air? Candles are hard to find and expensive, but HomeGoods offers an impressive selection of scents and designs to complement your taste and home style. And at more affordable prices than other stores, you won’t feel guilty about filling your home with the scent of crackling firewood, apple cider, and cozy patchouli as much as you want.

Kitchenware

Collecting bowls and candy bowls

This is perhaps the most tempting aisle at HomeGoods because you can never have enough trays, bowls and ramekins – especially those with adorable designs. Plus, it’s an easy trick for hosts to always have a small bowl of candy, nuts or other snacks on hand for guests.

Pumpkin Cookware

Need a pumpkin-shaped Dutch oven? Or a baking sheet to bake little jack-o-lantern cakes on? HomeGoods says yes. There are plenty to choose from, and this year we’re already seeing new versions of pumpkin-shaped cookware adorning shelves ahead of fall, making fall entertaining even more fun.

Cups and pottery

HomeGoods has always had the year-round mug and ceramic collection of our wildest dreams, from classic blue and white patterns to crisp white staples to holiday-themed mugs that make your morning coffee and tea even cozier in the fall. Luckily, they’re often quite affordable, so it’s totally doable to snag a little set for each season.

Themed decorations

Fairy lights and garlands

For those who like to go all out with their fall decorations for Halloween or Thanksgiving, a string of themed lights adorned with glowing mini pumpkins and sparkling orange maple leaves is a festive and fun idea that can be hung indoors or outdoors.

Halloween decorations

If you’re looking for a life-sized skeleton for your garden or spooky decals for your windows, HomeGoods is a treasure trove for all things Halloween-themed. Right now, the selection is already huge and you’ll hardly walk a metre without spotting a spooky decor item to stock up on before the season officially begins.

Thanksgiving Turkey Tableware

If you’re looking for a turkey to grace your table or porch, Thanksgiving fans have no choice but to look no further than HomeGoods. While there may not be as many as skeletons or pumpkins, you can certainly find turkey decor—whether it’s serving dishes or life-sized decorative replicas—at your local location.
