Going Crazy For Pumpkins!
It is officially Fall, the season of warm colors, sweaters and of course pumpkins! Pumpkin has become a staple in all things fall and everyone’s things are becoming pumpkined to bring in the spirit of the season!
- Candles
Candles come in so many scents that a pumpkin flavor is not unusual at all, but the amount of them is. It becomes hard to even find any other scent during fall. Places like Walmart and Target even cover their candle section in pumpkin flavors, so that you can smell the candles with the lid on!
- Deserts
Muffins, pies, cakes and more are all pumpkin flavored for fall. Even big brands get in on the pumpkin trend, like Oreo or M&Ms who put out a special version of their already sweet treat. Make sure you get these deserts just in time for the holiday season!
- Clothes
Though this might not be the first thing that comes to mind, many shirts for the season include some sort of pumpkin on it no matter who it’s for. From babies to adults there’s a pumpkin shirt just waiting for you to buy. If you really enjoy fall you can even buy a shirt with a pumpkin and cheesy saying on it, that celebrates the season.
- Drinks
Similar to deserts, drinks are always given that hint of pumpkin for the season. The most notable is Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte which has taken the Autumn vibes to another level. You can enjoy any beverage you like, from sodas to coffees that are autumn flavored.
- Places
Walmart and Target decorate their stores with many things, but especially pumpkins during this season. Not just a paper cut out decoration either. Stores will put out pumpkins to buy outside their store, and use these as another way to decorate for fall. Funny enough, farmers do similar things by selling pumpkins in the fall and turning a few fields into pumpkin patches for people to visit. No matter if the pumpkin is real or fake, they make a great decoration no matter what during fall!
All of these pumpkins things make me so excited for this season and I hope it did the same for you, happy Fall!
