If you love decorating for Halloween but don’t want to break the bank, you’re going to want to hear this.
A savvy shopper named Erica recently caused quite the buzz online after sharing her haul of Halloween decorations from HomeGoods — and many of her finds look just like expensive pieces from Pottery Barn.
TikTok Video Sparks Excitement Over Affordable Halloween Décor
Erica, a mom of two, posted a TikTok video on July 22 showcasing around a dozen Halloween items she discovered at HomeGoods.
About half of these items were strikingly similar to Pottery Barn’s Halloween collection, where prices range from $29.50 up to $129.
Some of Erica’s favorite HomeGoods finds included ghost and bat-themed baskets, a spooky skeleton stuffed animal, and a skeleton-adorned bowl — all reasonably priced and giving off serious Pottery Barn vibes.
HomeGoods Offers Big Savings on Festive Finds
While prices vary by location, shoppers have noted that most HomeGoods Halloween decorations hover between $10 and $40.
That’s a huge discount compared to Pottery Barn’s luxury offerings, which have long been popular — but pricey — for seasonal home décor.
Pottery Barn may be known for its high-end style, but it’s no stranger to inspiring budget-friendly dupes at stores like Dollar Tree and Goodwill.
HomeGoods, with nearly 1,000 locations, doesn’t always feature Halloween décor in every store but maintains an online selection year-round.
Spotting the Pottery Barn Doubles
Erica’s video highlighted several HomeGoods items that mirror popular Pottery Barn pieces.
For instance, she found a pumpkin resembling Pottery Barn’s Handmade Terracotta Jack O’Lantern, which sells in multiple sizes for between $29.50 and $119.
She also pointed out inexpensive HomeGoods buckets that look like a $129 Pottery Barn skeleton serving bowl.
While the skeleton-themed cheese knives she found didn’t match the bucket exactly, they were still a solid alternative to a $49.50 Pottery Barn product.
More Ghoulish Finds That Impress
Venturing into the ghost décor section, Erica uncovered a cheeseboard that closely resembles a Pottery Barn piece priced at $69.50.
She also spotted Martha Stewart-branded ghosts similar to Pottery Barn’s set of three ghost ornaments, which retail for $89.50 and can be safely hung on tree branches.
Back in the pumpkin aisle, she found glasses that look a lot like a Pottery Barn set of four cups costing anywhere from $34.97 to $56.
Erica didn’t reveal the exact price differences for her finds, which can vary depending on where you shop, but her haul clearly impressed fans looking for budget-friendly Halloween decorating ideas.
Retailers Face Challenges but HomeGoods Thrives
In recent years, many retailers have struggled due to inflation, recession fears, and tariffs leading to job cuts and store closures.
Despite this, HomeGoods has managed to pull through — reporting an 8 percent revenue increase in its latest quarter.
Meanwhile, Pottery Barn, the top-performing brand under the Williams-Sonoma umbrella, also saw a modest 3.4 percent revenue boost in the same period, solidifying its place as a leader in the furniture and home décor market.
On the flip side, competitors like At Home, a Texas-based chain, recently filed for bankruptcy after shuttering 20 stores, highlighting the tough retail environment.
What’s Next for HomeGoods Halloween Fans?
DailyMail.com has reached out to HomeGoods for comment about the popularity of their Halloween décor and whether more seasonal surprises are on the way.
For shoppers on the lookout for stylish yet affordable Halloween decorations, Erica’s TikTok has opened the door to some seriously spooky savings.
