Grow Your Plant Family: These Are The Trendiest Houseplants of 2022

The Best Halloween Pajamas

Old Navy Halloween Print Pajama Set

Pajamas don't have to be terrifying for you to wear them, but they do have to be cute. Take a cue from our top Halloween decorations by wearing something that features smiling pumpkins, intricate spider webs, and surprised ghosts!

This soft jersey set is made of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex to give you a fitted look that won't cut off your circulation or fade the first time you wash it.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Shirt & Shorts Pajama Set

Beetlejuice 2is still on our minds, but it's not just our favorite ghoul we're thinking about. For reasons unknown, we can't stop thinking about Sandworms and their one-track mind mission. Ironically, Beetlejuice's signature black and white suit matches their memorable design so we say you need this Halloween pajama set, which is (thankfully) machine washable.

American Eagle Outfitters Peanuts Fall Pumpkin Plush PJ Set

If this plush PJ set reminds you of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, that's 100 percent intentional. It's a well-known fact that the Peanuts characters wasted no time getting into the Halloween spirit by embracing pumpkins. You can continue to keep it short and sweet by wearing something that explores Snoopy's love for the orange fruit with this allover print!

Kohl's Snoopy Great Pumpkin Halloween Boxy Sleep Tee And Pants Set

You could also skip the Snoopy and pumpkin print by focusing on something straight out of the comic books. You'll still be wearing something reminiscent of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but in a different font.

Hyde & EEK! Boutique Glow-in-the-dark Skeleton Pajama

Have fun with your Halloween pajamas by wearing something that glows in the dark! This jumpsuit reminds us of decorations we spotted at Target, making it the fun and slightly hair-raising piece you should wear after taking the kids trick-or-treating. It could also function as a super comfy Halloween costume.

Printfresh Witch's Brew Sleep Shirt

This sleep shirt is giving us the adult version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch after a long night of casting spells, brewing potions, and running after her kids during bath time. Clears throat. Sorry, we got a little sidetracked there! But, who wouldn't want to wear Barbie-pink pajamas that acknowledge your love for a nice glass of wine after a long day?

Enanday Horror Characters Pajamas

These Halloween pajamas are for anyone who's got a penchant for watching the most terrifying horror flicks known to mankind. Whether you can't stop watching the Predator or Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, there's a character that acknowledges your go-to film when the lights are out.

Ekouaer Short Sleeve Nightshirt

On the other hand, sadistic movie characters may not be something you want to dream about at night, and we don't blame you. Instead of literally welcoming scariness in your bed, choose this short sleeve nightshirt. It celebrates the cartoonish version of Halloween that would comfort even the youngest of kids.

BloomChic Bone Chilling Skeletal Placket Sleep Jumpsuit

Who wears short Halloween pajamas? You do if you've got your eyes on this skeleton placket jumpsuit! We can't get over the intricate details on the skeleton's interior parts, from the spider who's found a new home to the orange hearts placed over the hip bones. They're such a cute reminder that our bones aren't useless!

Disney Mickey And Minnie Mouse Halloween Pajama Set

Mickey and Minnie Mouse sure know how to party, no matter what holiday it is! Honestly, we think you could get away with wearing this set as part of your family costumes or you can save for them bedtime! We'd choose the former because trick-or-treat is written all over this set.

Carter's 2-Piece Glow Halloween Skeleton Pajamas

Carter's is stepping things up by including adults in all the Halloween fun this year. Instead of a short jumpsuit, you can wear this skeletal 2-piece set that glows in the dark. You'll still find a teeny spider getting comfortable between the bones, but you'll also see a little green ghost and a pair of daunting eyes staring back at you.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Family Blanket Sleeper

Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas deserves the praise she gets every Halloween. Not only did she find a way to help Jack Skellington feel less lonely, but she also served as a voice of reason throughout the film. If it weren't for her, we don't know where our tragic hero would've ended up. That being said, step into this family blanket sleeper that has Sally's love and care etched into it.

Printfresh Halloween House Cats Long PJ Set

We know the "childless cat ladies" quip was meant as an insult, but the joke's on whoever hasn't had the pleasure of being chosen by felines. They're truly selective and have a sixth sense that puts them in tune with the person they trust.

Lean into the witchy vibe of having a couple of cats who are so locked in with your habits and moods they feel like your familiars.

Way To Celebrate Halloween Fang Print 2-Piece Set

From Bram Stoker's Dracula to Interview with a Vampire, you've seen all the blood-draining movies. But that's not to say you're done watching them. In fact, you probably plan to buy a set of plastic fangs to match your new Halloween pajamas. If this sounds spot on, hurry to your nearest Halloween shop to pick up your new fangs so you can start wearing this 2-piece set next week!

JCPenney Nightmare Before Christmas V-Neck 2-Piece Set

Before we go, we can't forget about Halloween pajamas aimed at applauding Jack Skellington. He knew how to put on a frightful event, but the place where his human heart used to be remained open and giving. It's true he shouldn't have tried to steal Christmas, but every hero has their flaw!

Bedsure Sherpa Throw Blanket

Is it really even fall if you don't cozy up with a soft blanket, some warm tea, and your fave cozy book? Snuggle up comfortably this season with this plush 50x60 inch reversible blanket. It comes in the perfect autumnal orange color to pair with the time of year. It's def gonna tag along wherever you go at home, from the couch to the bed.

Fall Wreath

This seasonal wreath feels perfectly balanced with plenty of multicolor leaves, tiny pumpkins, pinecones, and faux berries. The best part is it's only $37, and you don't have to do any of the work putting it together. Simply hang it on your front door and get ready to relish in the fall season.

Pumpkin Neon Sign

Once the sun goes down, it's time to switch on all the ambient lights in your home. No big lights here, please. This pumpkin-shaped neon sign incorporates tons of cozy warm light, and it's a great affordable ($11!) piece to pick up to last your home decor game well into Halloween.

Bsicpro Bathroom Rug

Bathroom decor can be hard to transition across seasons, especially since you don't want to cheese the space up too much with endless pumpkins. This autumnal-colored rug is an ideal swap for your regular decor and doesn't feel overly themed, either! It earns major points for being made of super-soft chenille.

Luvadian Fall Poster

The bird! The acorns! The mushrooms! This poster's illustration is way too adorable. It will instantly fall-ify your space for just $14. If this pattern isn't quite your vibe, there are a few more fall ones to pick from for the same price.

Miulee Rust Pillow Covers

Rust orange is fall's BFF, especially when it comes to fall decor. I love the varied stripes on these 18x18-inch pillow covers. They could be a great pick-up for your space if your sofa or bedspread craves a bit more texture. This duo is crafted from soft corduroy to make lazing around all the more comfortable.

12-Pack Artificial Pumpkins

Grab this dozen of pumpkins to sprinkle around the house in your own arrangement. Get creative with 'em! I would personally put a few on top of my fridge, one on my desk, and a few others on my bookshelf. This 12-pack goes for just $16, so if you had to make one single fall decor purchase, I think this is the smartest (and cutest) way to go to really fall-ify your home.

Huminbo Boho Flowers

As much as designing your own floral arrangement is, that activity actually requires leaving the house (gasp!), and even then, your bouquet will wilt over time. With this artificial floral bundle, you don't have to worry about either of those things. There's a great variety between stems, plus you could creatively break up the bundle to decorate across several rooms at home.

Homemory Grey Glass Flameless Candles

Remember what I said about the big light? Warm, cozy lights for fall only. This trio of remote-controlled flameless candles emits some really relaxing light to help you wind down at the end of a fall day with a warm hot chocolate in your hand. I can see it now! You get three candles for just $26, which is a total steal in my humble opinion.

Gagec Fall Welcome Door Mat

Fall truly is the best season, and this cheerful door mat highlights the greatest parts of this time of year perfectly. Pumpkin spice lattes! Falling leaves! Football! This mat is lined with non-slip recycled rubber underneath, so it won't slip when stepped on. The stain resistant polyester material up top is easy to clean, too. Upgrade for just $24.

2-Pack Lighted Fall Trees

These tiny trees would be so cute as centerpieces for a fall-themed dinner party. They come complete with LED light bulbs that emit the coziest light, plus the branches are adjustable to help you achieve the look you're going for. You get 2 trees for $30.

Plush Pumpkin Pillows

These pumpkin pillows are getting added to my cart expeditiously. You can purchase this white + brown combo, or opt for orange + brown or white + yellow. Each plush pillow is super soft to the touch and measures about 11x9.5 inches. So cozy!

Don't Fall For "Perfect Families" On Social Media

The first VERY important step to having a joyous holiday season when you're going it alone is to stop believing the narrative that others' family situations are perfect, Eichler says.

"Remember people only post a moment in time, and only the moments when they look their happiest and best."

In addition to the fact that everything you see on social media is curated for the 'gram, it's also important to remember that by focusing on what others have and you lack, you risk failing to see the great things at play in your own life.

"These holiday periods can become a time of focusing on who and what we don't have, rather than who or what we do, and can cause a negative spiral into depressing and dreadful feelings of inadequacy," says Eichler.

Gratitude is the reason for the season, after all. So instead of only seeing the negative, try some gratitude journal prompts to help you focus on what's actually really wonderful about your life right now.

Make An Effort To Deepen New Connections

While it may seem like everyone has friends and family to spend time with during the holiday season, that doesn't mean no one is available for deepening a blossoming relationship or new friendship.

"Make a list of people you can or would like to connect with, and try to reach out to at least one of them," advises Eichler.

Reaching out doesn't have to mean a big plan or an hour-long conversation. Even a quick text letting a friendly coworker know you're thinking about them can go a long way toward deepening the relationship and moving it in the direction of closer friendship.

Don't have an acquaintance in mind? Then it's time to make new acquaintances. What's more in line with the Christmas spirit than attending a Meetup or event full of people eager to make new friends?

"Join groups with similar interests to yours, such as hiking, baking, or games. Push your boundaries and be brave - you might find new people who have much in common with you."

Give Back

The holiday season is a great time to focus on giving back to your community, and coincidentally, acts of generosity and kindness are known to reduce loneliness and help people feel happier. One study found that knowing a few of your neighbors and doing small acts of kindness for them — such as cheering them up, listening to them, mowing their lawn, providing advice about local business recommendations and job opportunities, and chatting over the fence — was statistically correlated with feeling less lonely and having a lower risk of depression.

Helping out elderly neighbors can be a particularly gratifying way to give back.

"Notice older lonely people in your neighborhood or community who might have no family at all, and offer to help them," says Eichler. "These can become mutually meaningful connections, and help you 'adopt' a grandparent."

Connect With Others Online

Finally, use the Internet for its highest and best purpose: to connect people. Whether you're using Meetup to find in-person events, digital forums for having conversations about special interests, or programs like Circle for getting support from others in your situation, the opportunities to create new connections are practically endless.

"There are many interest groups that can be found digitally, where or any person can connect with others in the same life stage, going through the same challenges, or who would like to explore the same interests," Eichler states. "Meaningful connections can be formed easily in these circumstances. The Internet enables us to find and connect to people all over the world who fit this, and to whom we can become more easily attached, as we are able to find people with the exact interests that energize us."
