14 Interesting Finds on Amazon Under $25

Storied Home Resin Pinecone Bookends

My favorite seasonal decor hack is to switch out my year-round pieces for autumnal versions. And Rory would love keeping her books in order with fall bookends! These bronze resin pinecone bookends offer texture, dimension, and richness to any bookshelf.

Stoneware I Woof You Mug

In honor of Paul Anka, I had to include a mug honoring Woman's Best Friend. Lorelai is the ultimate dog mom, and wouldn't be able to say no to this microwave- and dishwasher-safe design. Especially since it's only $7!

Harvest Fall Leaves Gnome Figurine

Speaking of things Lorelai definitely wouldn't be able to say no to, she would jump at the chance to buy this gnome. While it'd make sense to give it to Babette, I could also see Lorelai keeping it in her home, but moving it to a different location every time Luke or Emily visits.

Wood Ghost Sign Halloween Decorative Sculpture

Stars Hollow's Halloween celebrations strike a balance between spooky and spoofy (and they're never outright horrifying). This cutesy ghost is perfect because it's lightweight AND you can display it with an easel or a cord loop. Talk about versatile!

Ceramic Teal Jack-o-Lantern Face Pumpkin

When it comes to pumpkins and Jack-o-Lanterns, I'm convinced Lorelai would opt for something colorful and goofy like this 5-inch teal pumpkin. The frosted detail also reminds me of snow, which would make Lorelai SO happy.

Medium Glass Pumpkin Figurine

Rory would choose a variety of glass pumpkins in different colors, heights, and shapes! I love how this champagne pumpkin adds the right amount of autumn vibes without overpowering the rest of the decor.

Magnolia and Olive Artificial Wreath

Wreaths aren't just for the holidays! A fall wreath gives the same amount of cozy vibes that every Gilmore Girls episode gives us, and the green + brown leaf combo means it'll go with cool-toned and warm-toned decor palettes! Plus, I know for a fact Emily would love the bow.

Stoneware Salt Cellar

There’s something chic and autumnal about farmhouse decor, which target has PLENTY of. Grabbing a salt cellar that says “salt” on it is exactly the kind of thing Lorelai would buy just because it confuses Luke. This item is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning!

Raised Striped Chunky Knit Throw Blanket

For all those pizza nights with The Donna Reed Show, Lorelai and Rory would absolutely need a nice blanket or two to curl up with. I think Lorelai would totally opt for something comfortable that’s also bright and colorful.

Velvet Oval Shaped Throw Pillow with Tufted Center

And a simple pillow with an interesting shape and interesting fabric? The Gilmore girls would want one for every room!

Preserved Fall Floral Cloche Artificial Grass

As someone who loves scale models and terrariums I'm obsessed with this fall floral cloche! It's so colorful and textured, and it has a sort of controlled chaos that Rory would love. It'll look beautiful on a bedroom shelf or on top of a stack of classic books.

Flower Print Framed Dorm Wall Art

Not a huge fan of the amber-rust-gold fall color palette? If you prefer to march to the beat of your own drum (just like Lorelai!), add a splash of color to your space with an unconventional artwork choice. Who says pink isn't a fall color?

Dear Lumi: Here is my challenge: I have been with a man for ten years — someone I have deeply loved and to whom I tied all my hopes and dreams. Yet, he has shown me that my hopes and dreams will never come true with him. He proposed and then changed his mind. I wanted to start a family, but he had a nervous breakdown instead. While he wants to stay together, we are only great companions, which has been a real challenge for the past three years. The fear of never having what I want if I leave overwhelms me. So, the question is: should I stay or should I go?

-Nicole, Brooklyn, NY

• Sun sign: Scorpio
• Rising sign: Pisces
• Moon sign: Leo

Dear Nicole: A woman who knows what she wants from the start, but doesn't see those promises fulfilled often falls into a repeating pattern. Love evolves, but the mind and body can play tricks if you're not aligned with your soul's desires. Observe how much energy you have left after waiting for him to change. How much effort are you putting into making him happy? As a holistic synergy coach, I see that you have given him your mind, body, and soul, yet he hasn’t delivered on his promises of family or commitment. If you’re ready to break ties, you must believe another person can grant your wishes. The Universe reflects what we embody and experience. Patterns of disappointment and false security will persist if your partner remains stuck in his reality. This situation might work for him, but is it working for you?

Your Scorpio Sun signifies a path of regeneration and self-empowerment. Your role is to rise above outdated patterns and align with your true vision. Scorpios are on a quest to confront and transform the sources of their struggles. We all create our destinies, but when we cling to wishing for someone or something to change, it won’t unless we take action. Having strong Scorpio energy in your chart, I’ve been where you are. I faced similar fears in my marriage. I realized over time that my partner wouldn’t change, and staying made me feel depleted and cut off from abundance. I feared the grief of ending the relationship, which felt like facing death. Yet, from the other side of that grief, I can tell you that you’ll emerge restored and vibrant, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. As a Pisces Sun, I can attest that leaving was incredibly hard, but I’m grateful for it.

With your Pisces rising, you have the tools to adapt to life's changes. You’re spiritually gifted and connected, and you will become stronger as you align with your intuition. Your Leo Moon gives you the fire to attract incredible opportunities or, conversely, fall into recurring patterns. Embrace your worth, and know you deserve a love story that nurtures your well-being.

Your chart’s blend of water and fire shows powerful manifestation abilities. Believe you can attract an amazing partner, but focus on clearing your energy and moving forward. Looking back should only help you avoid repeating past mistakes. If you decide to leave, commit to moving forward without second-guessing. Breaking free will allow you to attract the life and love you truly desire. For you, as a Scorpio Sun, this is an essential rite of passage. Once you move through it, you’ll be amazed at the magic that awaits you.

With Love and Stars,

Lumi

How To Cord-Cut In Relationships

1. Prepare: Close your eyes and enter a meditative state. Ground yourself by feeling connected to the Earth and center your energy by focusing on your breath.

2. Identify Cords: With your energy senses active, scan your aura to find toxic cords of attachment. Gently trace each cord to see what it's connected to — people, places, objects, beliefs, or past experiences.

3. Cut the Cords: Visualize your dominant hand as an energetic knife. Spread your fingers and move your hand through each cord to sever it. As you do this, say silently or aloud, "I completely release you from my life." Breathe deeply between cuts to stay centered.

4. Send Thanks: After cutting all the cords, sit quietly for a few minutes. Send gratitude and love to what you've released, acknowledging their role in your growth.

5. Finalize: Conclude the meditation and take a shower to cleanse and ground your energy.
