That first crisp morning hits, the school supplies are picked over, and suddenly your Insta feed is 90% pumpkin spice. Huzzah, welcome back to fall. Whether you’re the one packing lunches or just packing away your summer flip-flops, this is peak season for cozying up with a good rewatch — and for us, that means it’s peak season for collectibles too. Here are 6 picks to get you back in that autumn/school groove, plus a few treasures to pair them with.

1. Freaks and Geeks (1999)

Nothing says “back to school” quite like this one-season wonder. Awkward hallways, killer soundtrack, a young cast that basically became Hollywood royalty. If you’re already feeling nostalgic for lockers you haven’t seen in years, this is your show. Pair it with any of our enamel pins or 1″ pop culture pins for that instant “I was there” cred.

2. Hocus Pocus (1993)

Fall doesn’t officially start until the Sanderson Sisters fly back into town. It’s the perfect back-to-school-meets-Halloween crossover — Max is the new kid trying to survive both bullies and witches. Like, who hasn’t been there, am I right? We’ve still got our Hocus Pocus statuette pieces in stock if you want the sisters watching over your desk this semester, or a cackle-perfect magnet to keep your fall schedule on your locker.

3. Stranger Things

Hawkins basically runs on a school-year calendar, and there’s nothing like watching the gang navigate homework and hellscapes simultaneously. Grab a Stranger Things t-shirt and let the gang guard your backpack — or your Upside Down snack stash.

4. Ghostbusters (1984)

“He slimed me” hits different once September rolls around and everyone’s back on a schedule. This is comfort-watch royalty, and honestly, a Zuul or Stay Puft figure on your desk makes even the most boring group project feel a little more heroic.

5. Gilmore Girls

Autumn in a small Connecticut town, endless coffee, and Rory heading back to school with a stack of books taller than her — this show is basically a love letter to fall. A cozy mug, stickers for your notebooks, or a puzzle are basically required viewing gear here.

6. Wednesday

Nevermore Academy gives us school AND spooky season in one perfectly moody package. If you haven’t picked up a Wednesday Addams figure yet, now’s your excuse — she’d probably judge your homework anyway, but she’d look great doing it from your shelf.

So whether you’re the one heading back to class, sending the kids off, or just riding the seasonal vibes from your couch, these six picks (and the collectibles that go with them) are here to make the transition from summer to fall feel like the best kind of homework. Grab a pumpkin spice something, press play, and let the nostalgia do the rest.
