Got seasonal filler? Arrange it tastefully to display in any room in a decorative dough bowl from Better Homes & Gardens.

On the hunt for an affordable fall throw? You’ve found it in Better Homes & Gardens’ chunky knit throw. You’ll get plenty of heft (2.3 pounds worth!) from these big throws and an array of five autumnal colors to choose from.

“Really great product, especially for the price. Its woven design makes it breathable for those not so cold days when you’re watching a movie on the couch and just want a throw blanket. However, you can also fold it to layer it on those much colder days. I plan to buy another one in a different color!” wrote Gwen in a five-star review.

• Price: $19.74
