73 Halloween ‘Boo Basket’ Ideas for Kids of All Ages (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Candy isn’t the only thing that goes in a Halloween treat bucket. Over the last few years, “boo baskets” have become a bigger trend. Like Easter baskets but for Spooky Season — arguably many kids’ favorite time of the year — they’re filled with treats, yes, but also Halloween-themed toys, crafts, games, books, and more. Below, I’ve rounded up fun Halloween buckets and bags, seasonal Jellycats, cozy autumnal PJs, ghostly games, scary stories, and everything in between for kids of all ages. New! Y
The Best Pendants and Chandeliers (Under $1,000), According to Designers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Installing a hanging light, whether a single pendant or a multi-light chandelier, can easily transform a room without too much effort — or a huge budget. (For lower-height ceilings, consider upgrading your boob light to a more interesting flush mount.)

Thermacell’s Backyard Repellent System Is Like Sonos for Mosquitos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have written extensively about how irresistible I am to mosquitoes. It’s a problem I’ve had since I was a child, when mosquito bites would become painful welts, then turn into blisters from incessant scratching. Mosquitoes still love me as an adult, but fortunately, I don’t react as severely to their bites. Still, when it’s skeeter season, I can’t be outside without being eaten alive in minutes. I hate the feeling of bug spray on my skin and would rather wear long sleeves and pants, but that i
