So, what are you being for Halloween? We’ve got an eclectic crew here: Jeff Probst (Survivor host), a stick of butter (yum), a mortal coil (clever), and a cat (points for participating).

Let us know your costume in the comments below for a chance to win a set of four candles featuring friend of HHPLift, Frankenstein’s monster.

Don’t be afraid to be bold.

Make a statement. Try something unexpected. Maybe even frighten a colleague with your impeccable style?

It’s Halloween after all. The perfect excuse to have some fun and maybe wear something a little out of character.

Take a chance. You only live once. Probably.

Not to sound negative, but fall can feel a whole lot like a midnight dreary once the sun starts setting earlier.

Our Ravenswood candle brings a little warmth to the darker days, with a cozy scent and the season’s spookiest bird. (Though ravens do get a bit of a bad rap. They invent games for fun and can even mimic sounds better than parrots!)

Nevermore ponder the perfect Halloween candle.

You might never guess what these bowls used to be.

Discarded iron washers and bicycle spokes become something beautiful in the hands of the artisans at Noah’s Ark, our Fair Trade partner in India.

Each bowl brings together imagination and craftsmanship, transforming overlooked materials into something entirely new.

Made to be used and treasured, these bowls also reflect HHPLift’s belief that building and rebuilding is always possible.

Cozy up with a warming drink, light a candle, and settle in. Fall is the perfect time to take a breath and enjoy the feeling of a season in flux.

Our handcrafted soy candles, etched coasters, w**e stoppers, and bottle openers add a thoughtful touch to whatever moments you find to breathe.

And every piece supports HHPLift’s mission to create jobs for people building and rebuilding their lives.

Traveling someplace new can be disorienting, exhilarating, and full of wonder. The evocative French word dépaysement captures that fun and puzzling feeling perfectly. The Weekender makes travel seamless with its artful design, dependable construction, and handcrafted durability.

Fall has a color palette all its own. We love the warm bronze, rich plum, deep hunter green, and earthy neutrals. Our Smateria bags pair rustic, unexpected textures with the colors of the season.

Wherever fall takes you, take a moment to admire its ever changing beauty.

From waste to wonderful.

What begins as discarded industrial netting is transformed with purpose in the hands of Smateria’s talented artisans. These colorful, functional bags are truly works of art.

Each piece gives existing materials a second life through thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and creativity. The result? Inspiring bags that are made to be used, loved, and carried everywhere. Beauty made to last.
