That I bought this copy of Grandin Road’s reaper with lantern, it was damaged so $45 was what it cost me. I’m not sure. I recommend this piece as a paint comes off if you use a damp cloth and there are plenty of scratches on it which we will fix with some outdoor matte black paint. But still… I won’t recommend it. Grandin Road wants for theirs, which is a little bit bigger and well built, $229! Ouch.

I love new stuff but repeats mean you can grab what you missed. I saw this too late last year but just ordered online

I saw this and really liked it too, the skull bench scared me with how large and heavy it looked but this seems like it would be much more lightweight easy to store off season. I wonder how sturdy it is.

Reis I forgot to thank you and husband for putting two eyeballs together in one of your vids. I wasn't super wowed by the impact as I was expecting in my mind and when I finally found 1 eyeball in the store I was shocked by the quality of it compared to the price point (especially since it's not water resistant). Paired with your video I really solidified in my heart that I should pass on them and use my money for something else. Thank you for saving me from a retail disaster 😅

My stores are finally getting some things. Not much, supply chain must be slow this year in my area. Just a few pics of notable mentions.
This gorgeous candle for $13

Another HG Katherine's Collection dupe for $150 (I bought him, yes his lantern lights up)

Here is what the original 'Seers and Takers Grim Reaper' looks like (MSRP $375)

I was also able to find the candelabra dupe as well. I had the even cheaper Martha dupe from two years ago so now I can DIY craft that one while having the closer KC dupe be a display one.

LMAO what is this and who is buying it? It lights up and plays weird witchy sounds

I was watching the video from ReisWorld when she was showing the price of the Katherine’s Collection pumpkin tray. I purchased mine for $199 while where she’s at, I believe it’s in Arizona?, it was $249. I did not know HomeGoods varied their prices like that.

I am a collector Katherine’s Collections however I’m not an expert on them. I would think that HomeGoods would be sent some sort of cease and desist letter from Katherine’s if these were dupes/copies of their products. I took a photo of the tags I received from this pumpkin stack tray and it’s looks identical to the tags that I get from what I know are Katherine’s authorized dealers. I would love somebody that knows more than I do to weigh in on this.

They are authorized from KC as being specifically made for these types of stores, sort of like how some companies make items specifically for outlet stores. The KC pieces made for Homegoods are just less expensive versions and don’t have the same expensive fabrics or all of the intricate details but they are legitimate KC. I’m not a huge fan of them doing this to be honest, especially when the pieces are close enough to resembling the details of the retail items, but it’s not my company although I am an authorized retailer 😊

Thank you for clarifying this for me!!
