Stacking Ghosts Halloween Decor

• Price: $5.00

Retirement shouldn’t keep you from celebrating the year’s spookiest season or encouraging trick-or-treaters to stop by. With this three-count of stacking ghosts , you’ll be ready for Halloween way ahead of time, meaning you won’t have to spend all of your money on decorations right before the holiday arrives.

Even if you don’t live somewhere where trick-or-treating is popular, having these ghosts around can still be great fun for any grandkids. They’re on the cuter side, so they won’t frighten any little ones. They’re also small — about 24 inches tall when stacked — and make for great accents or centerpieces.

Fall Leaf Wreath

• Price: $5.00

You don’t have to celebrate Halloween to bring in the fall season. This fall leaf wreath is an inexpensive but colorful way to bring a bit of warmth to your front door — or some creative decor to your indoor living space.

It’s 18 inches in diameter and comes with leaves in traditional fall colors. It’s fairly simple too, so it makes for a great accent piece.

All-Over Print Backpack With Mesh Pocket

• Price: $5.00

Five Below is especially popular among teenagers and younger kids, so if you’ve got any grandkids or grandnieces and grandnephews, you might want to consider picking up a couple of back-to-school gifts ahead of fall. That includes this backpack — or similar ones.

Available in many styles, including strawberries and black graffiti art, this schoolbag is pretty trendy. Perhaps even more importantly, it’s also practical. It comes with a main front mesh pocket, side pocket and adjustable straps.

Power Strip

• Price: $5.95

No matter your age, it never hurts to have a few items around for the sake of practicality. One such option at Five Below is this 8-foot-long power strip . It comes in several colors, including white, black, blue and purple.

On the functional side of things, it’s also got a tangle-free cord and three outlets, meaning you can use it to plug in multiple things simultaneously — without having to worry about it bunching up into knots. It’s also got an angled plug that makes it easy to squeeze into tight areas — like behind the sofa.

Rain Cloud Mood Lamp With Atmospheric Mist

• Price: $15.00

Most things are only $5 at Five Below, but it might be worth it to spend a little more on some things, including this mood lamp . It features the sound of rain, a gentle mist and LED lights that change colors. It also makes for a great nightlight, which is always good to have around.

This lamp can hold up to 150 milliliters of water and is about 9 inches tall. If it’s not quite your style, it also makes for a great gift — and why not start shopping for the holidays ahead of time?

Hardside Carry-On Spinner Luggage

• Price: $25.00

Now that you’re retired, there’s a good chance that you’ve got time to do a little traveling. But if you’re missing some decent luggage, check out Five Below. Whether you want to visit family and friends for the winter holidays or you plan to take a trip somewhere on your own, you can get some decent luggage from the store.

This particular hardside suitcase makes for a great carry-on. It can hold up to 30 pounds and meets the Federal Aviation Administration size regulations. It also has a retractable handle and spinner wheels that rotate 360 degrees, meaning it shouldn’t tip over that easily as you take it with you.

Biscuit Throw Pillow

• Price: $5.55

It’s hard to imagine bringing in the fall without some cozy throw pillows — and blankets — adorning your couch, chairs and beds at your home. This little throw pillow comes in either orange or green, both of which match the fall season.

It’s also soft and comfortable. You can use it either as a barstool cushion or as a headrest as you relax at home this fall.

Icon Wireless Earbuds With Mic

These wireless earbuds make for a great winter holiday gift, but you might want to keep a pair for yourself, especially if you enjoy taking long, leisurely fall walks or plan to travel.
