This article is part 8 of 22 in the series: Warming Up To Fall

We are at the pinnacle of spooky season, but our focus is shifting to the holidays. Soon the jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, and broomsticks will be replaced with evergreen wreaths, snowmen, and reindeer. And while your seasonal decorations may be in a state of transition, your home decor expresses who you are, remains consistent, and is waiting for that next piece to freshen up your living space. Regardless of your personal style, we have something for everyone to keep your place looking its absolute best. 

KAWS FAMILY Figures Black

KAWS FAMILY Figures

In the world of art and design, there are few names as big as KAWS. This year alone he collaborated with Supreme, held his first large-scale show in Japan with his KAWS Tokyo First exhibition, and has been taking his Companion hot-air balloon on a world tour. The KAWS FAMILY Figures give you the chance to invite several celebrated KAWS characters into your home. With these figures on display, you will immediately let everyone who sees know that you understand the ins and outs of the modern art world. The set comes complete with two KAWS Companions, two KAWS Chum figures, and a KAWS BFF. And while most KAWS vinyl figures sell for well over $300, the KAWS Family Figures are an absolute bargain as this five figurine set has been trading for just over $1,000.

Daniel Arsham ERODED DELOREAN Figure

Daniel Arsham ERODED DELOREAN Figure

This year, Daniel Arsham managed to take us Back to the Future while also taking us back to the past with the ERODED DELOREAN from his Future Relic Series. This collectible captures the iconic DMC DeLorean that was seen converted into a time machine by Doc Brown in the Back to the Future film franchise. While Arsham’s model does not come equipped with a flux capacitor, it does feature the standard DeLorean gull-wing doors that actually open and close. Whether you are a classic car enthusiast like Arsham himself or have always dreamt of being Marty McFly, the Daniel Arsham ERODED DELOREAN Edition of 500 will bring some serious clout to your collection.

Of course, if you are on a budget, but still a fan of Daniel Arsham’s unique uchronic design style, then look no further than his collaboration with IKEA earlier this year. Arsham contributed the most coveted piece to the IKEA ART EVENT 2021 with this wall clock that is a play on the “time flies” trope. The Daniel Arsham IKEA ART EVENT 2021 clock was released shortly after his FALLING CLOCK Edition of 99 and was offered for a mere fraction of the cost. Opportunities to grab an authentic Arsham piece for under $1,000 do not come around often, so with the Daniel Arsham IKEA ART EVENT 2021 Clock trading for around $60, now is the time to make a move.

Hot Wheels X Tesla Cybertruck 1:10 Scale RC Car (2021 Version W/ Cyberquad)

When you cross the most traded collectible brand with one of the hottest automakers in the world right now, you get the most-hyped toy of the year. The Hot Wheels x Tesla Cybertruck 1:10 Scale R/C Car with Cyberquad is an incredible feat as it includes working lights, a controller modeled off of the actual Cybertruck’s steering wheel, a Cyberquad that fits perfectly in the bed of the truck, and it can top out at speeds of 12 MPH. When it was first released in May of this year, this edition of the Hot Wheels X Tesla Cybertruck R/C car sold out nearly instantaneously. But if you missed out, you don’t need to fight over this toy of the season like Arnold and Sinbad, because it is currently selling for below retail on StockX.

Shepard Fairey Kurt Cobain Endless Nameless (Signed, Edition of 650)Shepard Fairey Kurt Cobain Endless Nameless (Signed, Edition Of 650)

Few artists have made their mark on nearly every facet of our modern art world like Shepard Fairey. After gaining national attention for his AndrĂ© the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign in the late ‘80s, Fairey has gone on to collaborate with some of the largest brands such as Hasbro and Pepsi, founded his own brand OBEY Clothing, and even influenced the world of politics with his 2008 Barack Obama Hope campaign poster. Now you can bring home a signed, limited edition print from Fairey that pays homage to another artist who has managed to transcend our culture, Kurt Cobain, the frontman and guitarist to the legendary grunge band, Nirvana. The piece shows Cobain gazing softly towards onlookers and is done in Fairey’s signature style that utilizes red, blue, and off-white hues.     

LEGO adidas Original Superstar SetLEGO adidas Original Superstar Set

When it comes to collectibles, LEGO is in a league of their own as they have managed to build a cult following that has endured for nearly 90 years. In 2021 they crossed over into sneaker culture once again by collaborating on this 731-piece version of the adidas Original Superstar set. While anyone who has had the pleasure of stepping on a LEGO can tell you it’s not a great idea to wear this shoe, it does come complete with realistic touches including tieable white laces, a traditional shell toebox, and a special edition box that resembles an adidas shoebox. With cold weather on the way and less time spent outside, this buildable shoe makes for the perfect winter activity whether you are looking to build it with a partner or put it together while you zen out alone.
