The REAL first sign of autumn for me is not the falling leaves or the return of the pumpkin spice latte: It is when I sit down to write our annual round-up of gourd and gourd-adjacent content. To quote McSweeney's: [It's decorative gourd season, motherfuckers.](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its-decorative-gourd-season-motherfuckers?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) That essay is like *'Twas the Night Before Christmas* for fall. With more swears. Crucially,[ you *can* buy a mug with those words on it.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89714719?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

In what is easily the opposite vibe, I also want to encourage everyone with a baby to buy them a[ cardigan that makes them look like the lil' punkin that they are. ](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89714910?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)The whole point of having a baby is that you get to dress them like a sweet little gourd!! Please send photos to your friends -- we want to see little pumpkin babies.

And for those of us who have pets, [maybe they need this toy that's a pumpkin with a black cat hidden inside i](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89715186?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)t, or [just a little pumpkin sweater and matching hat of their own. ](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89715692?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (This is an [equally autumnal, but perhaps less on the nose dog sweater.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89715907?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Look, I want your dog to have a cute sweater if it needs one!) Or maybe a [beret for your pet that looks like a PUMPKIN PIE](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89716747?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? Or this[ cat cave that looks like a pumpkin? It is so cute!](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89716788?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Okay, I'm going to stop shopping for animals now. For us humans: What better time for[ a pumpkin-shaped punchbowl?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89716075?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Or [some velvet pumpkin pillows?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89717240?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Or [some pumpkin earrings?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89717621?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Or[ a pumpkin-shaped gravy boat!](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89824804?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Or [a tablecloth covered in gourds](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89824958?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? Let me encourage you to make your table-settings more thematic! Do you need [a candle that looks very much like a gourd?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89826403?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) What about [this hand-painted birdhouse made out of a gourd?](https://go.shopmy.us/p-89826673?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Perhaps something here will catch your pumpkin-y fancy:
