Fall is here. Read: It’s officially hosting season. Whether you’re throwing football watch parties, a spooky Halloween soirée, or a festive Thanksgiving feast, now’s the time to refresh your home with the steals of the season.

Today, Oct. 7 is the last day to shop Way Day — aka Wayfair’s huge sale — and you won’t want to miss the thousands of limited-time deals on all things home goods. We’re talking up to 80% off, free shipping, and flash deals.

So without further ado, let’s get party planning. Here’s what we’re eyeing:

Kitchen essentials

  • Autumn treats cake pan: Leaves, pumpkins, and acorns adorn this charming nonstick pan.
  • Modern bar cart: Perfect for displaying your favorite bottle of Saint Maya Tequila, this bar on wheels can be easily moved.
  • Bar tools set: While we’re talking special drinks, you’ll probably need this, too.
  • Le Creuset baking dishes: Cook your favorite family recipe in style with this must-have trifecta.
  • Chips and dips platter: Assemble your go-to game day snacks to cheer on the Cowboys in this sleek porcelain dish.

Dinner with a view

  • Vintage-inspired globe chandelier: They say a new light fixture can transform a room, and this three-light pendant looks like it will do the trick (or treat).
  • Upholstered dining chairs: Modern style meets supreme comfort with this set of ergonomically designed seats.
  • Stoneware pumpkin trio: Adorn your mantle with these harvest-hued decorations to add a bountiful burst of fall color to any room.
  • Extendable dining table: Need more space? This solid wood table comes with a leaf to help accommodate extra guests and plenty of home-cooked dishes — or takeout from Soluna.

Outdoor entertaining
