October at Daisy Chain Gifts: Sweater Weather, Spooky Soaps & Cozy Nights

October has arrived, and with it the unmistakable feeling of sweater weather. The air is cooler, the days shorter, and the evenings perfect for curling up with a blanket and a warm drink. Here in Virginia, the colors continue to deepen as autumn settles in, and at Daisy Chain Gifts, we’re leaning into everything this season brings.

It's spooky season

Life on the Homestead

Our beloved flock of chickens is starting their winter molt—trading feathers for warmth as they prepare for the colder months ahead. Just like us, they’re adjusting to the darker evenings and cooler mornings, reminding us how quickly the seasons shift. We always love sharing little glimpses of farm life with you, because it’s these rhythms of nature that inspire our handmade creations.

Don't panic, I gave them raspberries and they are messy eaters!

Autumn Comforts & Seasonal Fragrances

October is all about comfort. As the nights draw in, we’re reaching for soaps and bath products that bring warmth and coziness to everyday routines. Rich fragrances, soothing lathers, and autumn-inspired blends are here to make your evenings feel extra special.

A Touch of Spooky Fun

While fall is our focus, we can’t resist adding a playful Halloween twist to the season. New items have just landed in our shop:

• 🦴 Skeleton Soap – fun, spooky, and perfect for gifting

• 👁️ Eyeball Bath Bombs – fizzy surprises for bath-time fun

• 🧪 Spooky Bath Salts – try “Zombie Repellent” or “Witch’s Brew” for a magical soak

These limited-edition goodies are a hit with kids and adults alike, bringing just the right amount of spooky spirit to your bathroom.

Looking Ahead

As we settle into October, we’re grateful for this season of change—shorter days, cozier nights, and plenty of inspiration. Whether you’re stocking up on seasonal soaps, picking up a spooky gift, or just stopping by to say hello at one of our markets, we can’t wait to share this time of year with you.

🍂 From our little homestead (and the chickens!) to your home—happy October!
