As soon as September rolls around, prepare for pumpkins galore at garden centers in the South. The stacks of orange, white, warty gourds can mean only that it’s finally fall. Porches around the neighborhood will start pulling out festive seasonal decor for their front steps, with colorful containers of blooming mums and the glowing grins of carved jack-o’-lanterns’ taking center stage.
This 12-piece kit is a best-seller for a reason—all the tools you could possibly need for carving the perfect pumpkin are included in this handy, budget-friendly kit. (Another plus: The handbag’s slim design makes for easy storage in the off-season.) Sturdy handles with firm grips won’t slip out of hands when scooping pumpkin guts or cutting through the thick exterior. Each tool touts durable, sharp, stainless steel blades that you can rely on year after year.
