With the recent change in weather, many have faced a shift in moods as well. Whether this be obsessing over everything fall, from the crisp weather to “spooky season,“ or on the contrary, fearing seasonal depression taking over due to finals and other stressors, many are in need of a reliever. Something as simple as indulging in an Amazon shopping spree for seasonal essentials from the comfort of your own home could be exactly that. Here are nine items that will enhance your October and remainder of the season, while being purchasable with just the click of a button:
Heated blanket
Snuggle season is upon us, meaning the proper snuggle accessories are not merely wants, but needs. There is nothing quite like crawling under your favorite blanket while feeling cold, napping, watching a movie, sitting by the fire or ordinarily, going to sleep. With the likely drop in temperature coming shortly, a heated blanket will make solo snuggling, all the more worthwhile when you’re feeling lonesome. Forget space heaters and shivering under your covers, a new heated blanket, will solve all of your problems.
Fall essential oils
Essential oils are what they sound like: essential. According to Medical News Today, “Apart from providing a pleasant smell, aromatherapy oils can provide respiratory disinfection, decongestant and psychological benefits.” This means, while still amidst a global pandemic along with the emergence of flu season, some satisfying, homey autumn oils are sure to be beneficial for both our sense of smell and physical health.
Comfy
While keeping up the momentum for snuggle necessities, a “Comfy” is another favorable and effective snuggler. What could be better than wearing a blanket and not having to worry about it falling off? The answer: nothing. A “Comfy” is bluntly put, an upgraded “Snuggie.” It has a warm inner sherpa lining with a thick and velvet outer cover. We have Shark Tank to thank for this gem.
Squishmallow
While we’re still on the topic of cuddling and cuddle buddies, the perfect one for those who are currently single for spooky season, can instead squeeze the softest item of all-- a Squishmallow. You may be wondering, what is a Squishmallow? Frankly, they are the cutest and most spongy like plush toys. They come in all different sizes, shapes, animals and characters. They even have friendly monsters to aid in embracing the season.
Halloween socks
Obviously, the peak of the spooky season is Halloween day itself, meaning it is only appropriate to hype it up every day until then. One way to do this is to wear festive socks designed with pumpkins, candy corn, skeletons, mummies and everything else eerie, yet cute. Don’t be afraid to show off your Halloween spirited socks while sporting them under a pair of Birkenstocks or slides. You’ll be sure to get compliments from students on OU’s campus who love the holiday more than anyone.
Pumpkin carving kit
If you’re planning on heading to the pumpkin patch this season to partake in a cherished fall tradition, you will end up needing a pumpkin carving kit. The kit will offer you designs you can tape onto your pumpkin, along with a variety of specialized pumpkin carving knives and even a pumpkin goop scooper. Get yours today!
Halloween sweatshirt
If Halloween themed socks weren’t enough, add to the outfit by purchasing a Halloween sweatshirt. Since Amazon has just about everything, you can be sure to find a comfortable hoodie fitting your Halloween vibe, whether that be a silly or scary sweatshirt.
Fall candles
Nothing sets the mood as aesthetically and perfectly as candles do. They are appreciated most in the colder months due to their beloved seasonal scents and the comfort they bring. Those who live in dorms may need to hold this item on the list until they reach the safety of their own homes for break. Once they’re home for the holidays though, they should jump on investing in some new scents for when they are in need of a personal night, curled up with a book or movie. Truly, there are no scents better than fall ones.

Scary movies are undoubtedly a staple of the season and have been for years. Make sure to order your “Halloween movie night spooky themed gift basket gift box” filled with two bags of microwavable popcorn, sour gummy worms, one serving of witch's brew orange hot chocolate, two packets of popping candy and Oreo cookies.
